### **Step 1**

If you haven't already, you will require a Premium Creator subscription to access the Pledge Manager settings.  
You can read more information about the Premium Creator program here: **[Become a Premium Creator](https://creator.myminifactory.com/become-a-premium-creator?hsLang=en)**

### **Step 2**

#### **Create a new Campaign**

Campaigns is the umbrella term to describe Pledge Managers and [FronTiers,](https://creator.myminifactory.com/frontiers/?hsLang=en) however campaigns are created and managed in the [FronTiers tab in your Settings](https://www.myminifactory.com/settings/campaigns).

Once you are on the FronTiers tab, use the “Create New” button to create a Pledge Manager.

Make sure to select Pledge Manager, add a name and then select “Create”.  
If you do not have an option to select either, it will default to a Pledge Manager.

**Caution: When setting up your Pledge Manager, if you click the "Request Publish" button, or untick "Is Private?" this will cause your files to be distributed instantly once your backers are imported. **  
**If you wish to only distribute the rewards when you're ready at a later time, don't press either of these and let your Creator Relations rep know.**
