Your creator dashboard is home base for your portal, your content and your earnings. Here's a quick tour so you always know where to click.

๐Ÿ’ก Quick answer: everything lives in the sidebar on the left, on the Creator side of your account. On a phone, tap the menu (three lines) at the top-left to open it.

๐Ÿš€ The sidebar

Page

What you do there

Dashboard

See your numbers, your subscribers and the people who signed up on your portal.

Portal designer

Build your page with blocks, change its look, set up your plans and open your portal settings.

Payouts

Connect Stripe, check your balance and earnings, and manage your payout details.

Courses

Build courses with lessons, then include them in a plan or sell them on their own.

Posts

Write posts for everyone or for members only.

Settings

Tabs for Account, Notifications, Connectors, Analytics, Subscription (your AloPortal plan), Payments, Sales tax, Tax & documents, Account status and Billing.

๐Ÿ“Š Your dashboard tabs

  • Overview: earnings, visitors and subscribers at a glance. Before your first sale it shows a short Get your first subscriber checklist.

  • Subscribers: everyone on a plan, with active, cancelled and expired lists.

  • Mailing list: appears once you turn on email sign-up for your portal.

  • Leads: appears once someone fills in a Form block on your portal.

  • Analytics: how your portal is doing over time.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Inside the portal designer

The tabs above your page switch between Portal, Media, Posts, Courses and Plans. On a computer, the Blocks / Design switch at the top flips between editing your content and editing your look.

On a computer, the gear button (Portal settings) next to Promote opens your settings: your link, sharing card, tips and more. On a phone, use the bottom bar instead: Add, Design, Alo AI, Preview and Settings.

โœ… Good to know: Alo AI, your built-in assistant, is ready to help on most pages. Ask it to write a post, add blocks or restyle your portal, and you review everything before it's saved.

๐Ÿ’ก Tips

  • The Creator / Member switch in your account card at the bottom of the sidebar takes you to the Member side, where you see the memberships you've joined yourself. If your sidebar is collapsed, click your avatar first.

  • Need help? Click Help & feedback in that same card to chat with us.

  • Want the designer walkthrough again? While you're in the portal designer, click the โ‹ฎ button next to your name at the bottom of the sidebar and choose Replay designer tour.
