🚀 Create your account

Go to aloportal.com and click Start free trial at the top of the page. It's in the same place on a phone.
Enter your email

🛠️ The setup, step by step
A short series of screens. Your progress is saved as you go, so you can close the tab and pick up later, even on another device.
Complete your profile
Complete your profile: your first name, last name and username, and agree to our Terms.
Pick your country
Where are you based? Pick your country. This is where you'll get paid.
Pick a category
What are you building? Pick the closest category. It helps shape your portal.
Add a title and photo
Your portal profile: a title and, if you like, a photo.
Add your social handles
Where can people find you? Add your social handles, and each one becomes a button on your portal. Have an old link page (Linktree, Beacons, hoo.be)? Paste it here and Alo AI brings your links and photo over.
Choose what to sell
How will you earn? Pick what you want to sell: a membership, paid posts, digital products, courses, photos and videos, coaching, or tips. Not sure yet? Click Decide later.
Choose how to build
How do you want to build it? Choose Build it with Alo or I'll build it myself (see below).
⚠️ Heads up: when you click Continue on How will you earn?, we set up your payouts account in the country you chose. After that, your country can't be changed without resetting your payouts account, so pick carefully.
✨ Build with Alo AI, or build it yourself
Your account comes with free Alo AI credits, enough for your first build. Building it yourself is always free.
💳 Start your free trial
Every new creator starts with a 3-month free trial. During the trial, AloPortal takes 15% of what you sell and nothing else. After that, your plan starts:
Choose Basic or Pro and click Start my free trial. Adding a card is optional: click Add a card later to skip it for now. To cancel any time before the trial ends, click Settings in the left sidebar, then the Subscription tab.
🎉 You're live
The last screen shows Your portal is live. Copy or share your link, then work through the short What's next list:
Set up payouts, so you can get paid.
Write your first post.
Add your photo.
