How It Works

A Platform Built for Two Sides

Whether you are creating or discovering, Bloomstarz gives you the tools and the audience you need.

01

Create Your Account & Verify

Sign up and complete a quick identity verification using your national ID or passport — designed to work with East African documents from day one.

02

Publish Your Work

Upload your photos, videos, music, or written work and set a monthly subscription price. Fans pay to access your content — you stay in full control.

03

Connect With Your Fans

Send exclusive content directly to your subscribers and engage your audience — building a loyal community around your creative work.

04

Get Paid via Mobile Money

Receive your earnings directly via M-Pesa, MTN Mobile Money, or Airtel Money — the payment methods you already use. No bank account required.

01

Discover Local Creators

Browse and discover talented creators across East Africa — visual artists, musicians, photographers, fashion designers, writers, and more, all in one place.

02

Pay with Mobile Money

Top up your account using M-Pesa, MTN MoMo, or Airtel Money — no bank card, no foreign exchange. Just the mobile money service you already use every day.

03

Subscribe & Unlock

Subscribe to a creator's page to unlock their full content library. Cancel anytime — no hidden fees, no complicated billing.

04

Get Exclusive Content

Subscribers get access to premium, exclusive content sent directly by the creators they support — personal, timely, and created just for them.

Technology

Built for Scale from Day One

A cloud-native infrastructure designed to handle thousands of creators and millions of content interactions across East Africa.

  • Google Cloud Storage
    We use Google Cloud Storage to securely host and serve thousands of high-resolution creator images and videos — scalable, reliable, and globally distributed.
  • Cloud SQL (PostgreSQL)
    Google Cloud SQL powers our managed PostgreSQL database — fully isolated from application servers, with automated backups and high availability built in.
  • Firebase Authentication
    Firebase Auth handles our two-sided user authentication — separate flows for Creator and Fan accounts — with session management and secure token verification.
  • Firebase Cloud Messaging
    Real-time push notifications for new Drops, subscription events, and creator announcements — delivered instantly to iOS and Android via FCM.
  • KYC Identity Verification
    Smile Identity processes African national IDs and passports — mandatory 18+ verification enforced at registration for every creator and fan account.
  • Payment Processing
    Flutterwave handles compliant cross-border mobile money transactions — M-Pesa, MTN MoMo, and Airtel Money — across Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and Rwanda.
