Memberships let your biggest fans support you with a recurring monthly or yearly payment in exchange for perks you choose, exclusive posts, early access, discounts, and more. It's a steady, predictable income stream that rewards the fans who care most.

Before getting started here, you’ll need to connect a Stripe account. You can find instructions for that here: Connecting a Payment Processor (Stripe / PayPal)

Creating your membership program

Once you’ve got Stripe connected, click Memberships on the left navigation menu. You’ll find several top-navigation tabs for configuring your subscription plans, layout, and more.

How it works:

• Create one or more tiers at different price points.
• Fans subscribe to a tier and get the perks attached to it.
• You post content that's gated to members, so subscribing unlocks something real.

You can also offer a free follower tier, fans join without paying, which grows your audience and gives you a way to reach them.

Why it's worth setting up

Single sales are one-and-done. A membership turns a fan into ongoing support, month after month, and gives you a direct line to the people most likely to buy everything else you make.
