Start with the audience you already have
A membership works best when people already watch, read or listen to you for free. You are not looking for new fans. You are giving your biggest fans a way to support you every month.
Decide what members get
Pick things you can keep doing every month without burning out. On TKVR a tier can unlock:
- Members-only posts with images, video, audio and voice memos.
- A community chat for members.
- Direct messages with you.
- Courses and livestreams.
Keep the tiers simple
Two or three tiers are easy to understand. Higher tiers unlock everything below them, so each step up only has to add something.
A free tier is an option too. People join with a sign in and no card, and you can gate posts, the chat and courses at it.
Set it up
- Start free, pick a handle and add your name, a photo, a cover and your links.
- Add your tiers with a monthly price in your own currency, and what each one gets.
- Connect Stripe so supporters pay into your own account.
- Write a first post, public or for members, so new visitors see what they are joining.
- Share the link to your page everywhere your audience already follows you.
Grow it
Public posts and free follows keep people around until they are ready to pay. Bring a friend lets members invite people they know with a free month or a discount.
