Distribution + payouts,without losing the voice.
Reach Storyflo listeners daily
Your work lands inside the daily Top-10 briefings — read by you, in your voice. New ears, every day, without you writing a single extra word.
Earn USDC per listen
Storyflo splits subscription revenue back to your wallet — paid in USDC on Base — on every listen of your work. Stacked on top of ElevenLabs payouts.
Keep your voice rights
You own the clone. You can revoke it anytime from your ElevenLabs Voice Lab — and we pull it from the Storyflo render pool the same day.
One voice clone.Paid twice.
Sharing your voice to the ElevenLabs Voice Library unlocks the EL Voice Actor Payouts rail. On top of that, every Storyflo listen of your work also splits Storyflo's subscription revenue back to your wallet.
EL Voice Actor Payouts
ElevenLabs pays you directly every time your shared voice is used to render audio. Rate is per 1,000 characters synthesized, scaled to your tier and creator status.
- Paid weekly via Stripe Connect by ElevenLabs
- $10 minimum payout threshold
- EL handles tax forms + payout rails
- Excludes free-user listens (paid renders only)
USDC rev-share on Base
On top of the EL rail, Storyflo splits a slice of its $4.99 USDC subscription revenue to your wallet for every Storyflo listen of your work. Paid in USDC on Base.
- Settles in USDC on Base mainnet
- Paid to the Base wallet you give us
- Rides Storyflo's existing $4.99 USDC subscription rail
- Stacks on top of the EL payout — not instead of
About 40 minutes,end-to-end.
We won't pretend it's zero work — but it's one sitting. After that, the rails run on their own and you're just collecting payouts.
ElevenLabs Voice Captcha
You read a short prompt EL gives you. It's how ElevenLabs verifies the voice is actually yours — there's no shortcut around it, and there shouldn't be.
Clean voice samples
A podcast clip, a YouTube interview, a Loom — any clean audio of you speaking, roughly 30 minutes total. If you don't have one ready, we'll help source from existing public appearances.
ElevenLabs account
Free ElevenLabs account is fine to start, but Professional Voice Cloning requires the Creator tier or above. Our grant covers the rendering compute after — not your account.
Seven steps fromprompt to payout.

Create or sign in to ElevenLabs
Head to elevenlabs.io and sign in. Free account is fine to register — you'll upgrade to Creator before the cloning step.

Voice Lab → Add Voice → Professional Voice Clone
From your ElevenLabs dashboard, open Voice Lab and start a new Professional Voice Clone (PVC) — not the Instant Voice Clone. PVC is the only path that unlocks the Voice Library + payouts.

Upload ~30 min of clean voice samples
Podcast appearances, YouTube interviews, a Loom recording — anything where it's clearly you speaking, no music underneath, no other speakers. If you don't have a clip ready, reply to our email and we'll help source from your public appearances.

Complete the Voice Captcha (~10 min)
ElevenLabs prompts you to read a specific block of text on camera/mic. This proves the voice is yours and unlocks PVC. Sit in a quiet room, take your time, you only have to do this once.

Share your voice to the Voice Library
From the cloned voice settings, toggle "Share to Voice Library". This is the gate for the EL Voice Actor Payouts rail — without it the EL payout rail does not activate.

Email us back: voice ID + Base wallet
Reply with the ElevenLabs voice ID (it'll look like a short string in your Voice Lab) plus the Base wallet address you want Storyflo USDC rev-share paid to. That's all we need from you.

Storyflo wires it into your renders, within 24h
We bind the cloned voice to your publication on the Storyflo side. Every new article we render in your name from then on uses your voice — and both rails start accruing on the next listen.
Stuck on a step?We'll handle it.
Don't have voice samples?
Reply to the intro email with a link to a podcast you've been on, a YouTube interview, a conference talk, anything public — we'll pull a clean 30-minute extract for you and walk it through the upload.
Never used ElevenLabs?

Built on the official ElevenLabs Professional Voice Clone + Voice Library payout rails.

Pull the voice from your ElevenLabs Voice Lab and we drop it from the Storyflo render pool the same day.
Commonauthor questions.
Who owns the voice clone?
You do. The Professional Voice Clone lives inside your ElevenLabs account, on your login, under your control. Storyflo only holds your ElevenLabs voice ID — a pointer — plus the Base wallet you want payouts sent to. Delete the clone in ElevenLabs and our pointer is dead the same day.
How and when do I get paid?
Two rails. ElevenLabs Voice Actor Payouts pay you directly each week via Stripe Connect once you cross the $10 EL threshold (rate is $0.011–0.03 per 1,000 characters synthesized). Storyflo USDC rev-share settles on Base mainnet to the wallet you give us — on Storyflo's subscription billing cadence.
What gets used? Just my Storyflo articles?
By default: only articles you submit or that we render in your name on Storyflo. We don't pull random content into your voice. You can also add an opt-in for the Top-10 daily briefing pool if you want broader distribution — purely additive, off by default.
Can I opt out later?
Yes — three layers. (1) Revoke the clone from your ElevenLabs Voice Lab, the upstream kill switch. (2) Email story@storyflo.com asking us to drop the voice from the render pool — we action within 24h. (3) Pause distribution per-article from your future Storyflo dashboard. Already-rendered audio stays live so listener queues don't 404; you can request takedown of any specific item.
Is this exclusive? Can I clone my voice for other platforms too?
Not exclusive. The Voice Library share is global by design — any platform pulling from the ElevenLabs Voice Library can render with your voice, and you earn the EL payout regardless. Storyflo only asks for distribution rights inside Storyflo, not exclusivity over your voice.
What does it actually take from me, time-wise?
One sitting. ~30 minutes of clean audio samples (we'll help you source from existing podcast/YouTube appearances) plus a ~10-minute ElevenLabs Voice Captcha you do once. After that you're just collecting payouts — no recurring work.
What if I don't have clean voice samples lying around?
Reply to the intro email with a link to anywhere you've spoken publicly — a podcast appearance, a YouTube interview, a conference talk, a Loom — and we'll extract a clean 30-minute sample for you and walk it through the ElevenLabs upload.
Does Storyflo cover the ElevenLabs subscription cost?
No — Creator tier (or above) is required for Professional Voice Cloning and you sign up directly with ElevenLabs. Our grant covers Storyflo's rendering compute downstream, not your account fees. EL Creator is typically the cheapest tier that unlocks PVC.
Send us a note about your publication.
One email is the whole onboarding form. Drop a link to your publication and we'll reply with the EL setup checklist (plus offer to source your voice samples if you don't have a clip ready).
