Dilly Hub

Dillyhub is an open platform designed for creators to monetize their digital content, including webtoons, web novels, illustrations, e-books, and videos. The company, led by CEO Park Yoo-jin, operates with offices in the Netherlands and South Korea, serving a global user base. Park, who previously worked at Kakao Games' European division, founded Dillyhub with the goal of creating a healthier and more creator-centric ecosystem, prompted by observing unfair contract issues prevalent in the industry.

The platform allows creators complete freedom over their work, letting them set their own publication schedules, pricing, and monetization methods without platform interference. A key feature is its creator-friendly revenue model. Dillyhub charges a minimal platform fee of 6%, allowing creators to receive approximately 90% of their sales revenue after payment processing fees. This contrasts sharply with major platforms, where fees can range from 30% to 50%. Instead of relying on high commission fees, Dillyhub's business model is designed to incorporate advertising, where creators can pay to promote their work, similar to the model used by 'Baedalminjok'.

Dillyhub supports a wide array of digital content, enabling artists to build sustainable income streams from diverse creative outputs. The platform also provides creators with analytics on reader engagement, conversion rates, and churn, empowering them to make data-informed decisions about their content strategy. The service launched in the U.S. and other international markets after its establishment in Korea, with the aim of helping Korean creators reach a global audience.
