A Make Money Swap lets you set a price for exclusive content. Fans pay once to unlock it, and you collect their contact info at the same time.
Step 1: Go to Swaps
In the left sidebar, click Swaps under Growth Tools.
Step 2: Create a new Swap
On your Swaps dashboard, click Create in the top right corner.
Step 3: Choose your goal
Select Earn From Content and click Next.
Step 4: Set up your Swap and price
Enter a Swap Title, something clear like "Unreleased Track" or "Studio Session."
Include a Swap Description is on by default. Use it to tell fans what they're paying for, or turn it off.
Enter your Price.
Under What info should fans provide when they sign up?, Email Address and First Name are always required. You can also turn on Collect Phone Number and Collect Zip Code.
âšď¸ Note: Payments are one time only, the minimum price is $1.00, and the currency is USD.
Click Next.
Step 5: Add your reward
This is what fans unlock after they pay. Choose one:
Upload Media: upload a video or audio file, up to 1 GB.
Link/Embed Media: paste a link or embed code from YouTube, SoundCloud, Vimeo, and more, then confirm it.
Then confirm your cover image, or replace it with another image up to 10 MB. If you uploaded a video, we'll create a preview for you while you finish the rest of your Swap.
Click Next.
Step 6: Limit access (optional)
On the Settings step, you can turn on:
Set an end date: after this date, fans can still join your list but won't get the content.
Set a capacity limit: once this many fans have joined, new fans can still join your list but won't get the content.
Leave both off if you don't need them, and click Next.
Step 7: Choose what's next for your fans (optional)
Turn on Add a banner to your landing page to point fans somewhere after they unlock your content. Then fill in the Banner Headline (up to 40 characters), Supporting text (up to 65 characters), and choose where to Send fans to: Your Channel or a Custom Link.
âšď¸ Note: Custom Link is a Starter Plan feature.
Step 8: Customize your Swap (optional)
Before publishing, you can click Appearance or Connections in the left sidebar to change your colors, add a Meta Pixel, or send buyers to a Google Sheet. Both are Starter Plan features, and you can try them free for 14 days. See Connect Your Swaps to Google Sheets.
Step 9: Publish
Click Publish in the top right. You'll see Your swap is LIVE! along with your Swap link. Copy it to share, click Continue Editing to make changes, or click Exit to Dashboard.
â ď¸ Heads up: Swaps aren't saved as drafts. If you click Cancel or leave the page before publishing, your Swap is discarded and you'll need to start over.
Track your sales
From your Swaps dashboard, click Stats on your Swap. Along with views, signups, and conversion rate, you'll see Revenue Performance for that Swap.
Get paid
To withdraw your earnings, click your profile picture in the top-right corner and select Payouts under Creator Tools. If you haven't connected a bank account yet, you'll be asked to do that through Stripe first. See Your Balance and Withdrawing Money.
