Monetization: Subscription Models
Learn how to set up recurring revenue streams by offering paid subscriptions to your audience, creating a stable and predictable income.
1. The Power of Recurring Revenue
Subscriptions are the most powerful way to build a sustainable creative business. They provide a predictable, recurring income stream, allowing you to focus on creating value for your most dedicated supporters.
2. How It Works: A Simple 3-Step Process
- Connect Your Payouts: Securely connect your bank account via Stripe, our trusted payment partner. This takes just a few minutes.
- Create Your Tiers: Design your subscription plans. You have full flexibility.
- Promote Your Offer: Start publishing exclusive content and invite your audience to subscribe.
3. Setting Up Your Subscription Tiers
You can create multiple tiers to offer different levels of access and value. This allows your audience to support you at a price point that works for them.
Here are some common models you can create on Postion:
-
Freemium Model:
- Free Tier: All users can access your public posts.
- Paid Tier ($5/month): Subscribers get access to all public posts PLUS one exclusive, in-depth article per week.
-
Multi-Tiered Value Model:
- Free Tier: Access to public posts.
- Supporter Tier ($7/month): Access to all exclusive articles and posts.
- VIP Tier ($25/month): All of the above, PLUS access to a private community chat (e.g., Discord) and a monthly live Q&A session.
You control the price, the name, and the benefits of each tier.
4. Managing Your Subscribers
From your creator dashboard, you have a complete overview of your subscription business:
- See your total number of subscribers (free and paid).
- Track your monthly recurring revenue (MRR).
- View a list of your individual subscribers and their membership level.
5. Best Practices for Success
- Offer Clear Value: Make it obvious what subscribers get for their money.
- Be Consistent: Deliver on your promises and publish exclusive content regularly.
- Use a Mix of Free and Paid: Use free posts to attract a wide audience and paid posts to convert your biggest fans.
- Engage Your Community: Make your paying subscribers feel special. They are your most valuable supporters.
