Are you wondering, "Can I earn commission as a creator on RedNote?" The answer is: Currently, RedNote (known in Chinese as “红薯”) does not support commission earning for creators outside mainland China. This feature is exclusively available for users based in mainland China. Whether this functionality will expand to other regions in the future remains uncertain.
