Tiers are the membership levels fans can join in your channel. Every channel comes with a free tier, and you can add paid tiers whenever you're ready.
Your free tier
Every fan starts in your free tier. It's how fans join your channel, so it's always there. You name it when you create your channel (it's called "General Admission" by default), and you can rename it anytime.
A free tier is the easiest way to grow. Fans can join with no commitment.
đĄ Tip: Turn on Enable tips on join for your free tier so fans can add a one-time tip of any amount when they join.
Paid tiers
Paid tiers give your biggest fans a way to support you and get more in return. For each paid tier, you can:
Set a monthly price, starting at $1.00
Offer an annual option, so fans can pay for a year at once
Turn on Pay What You Want, so fans can pay more than your minimum
Offer a free trial of 7, 14, or 30 days
Include add-ons, like access to premium media folders or direct messaging
Limit how many fans can join, with a waitlist once it's full
For the steps, see Managing Your Tiers.
Under promise and over deliver
When you set up your tiers, reward fans for joining without promising too much. In the beginning, it's better to be a little vague than overly specific.
đĄ Tip: Instead of "2 exclusive live streams a month," try "Exclusive live streams." Once you're in a routine and know what your fans enjoy most, you can get more specific.
