    <Steps>
      <Step title="Create your Studio">
        Sign up as a creator and choose between a **Public Studio** (Pay-Per-View) or **Private Studio** (subscription-based). Your Studio is your branded hub on Circo.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Upload your first Drop">
        Record or upload a short-form video (up to 5 minutes) as a Drop. Add a 15-second Teaser so new fans can preview it in the feed before paying.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Set your price">
        For Public Studios, set a per-content price for each Drop. For Private Studios, set your monthly subscription rate.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Complete KYC to get paid">
        Before withdrawing your earnings, complete identity verification (KYC) so Circo can process your payouts securely.
