Are you a creator struggling to get subscribers to your fans page? It’s time to join the platform that brings the fans to you!
Do you spend hours every week making content, uploading to your page and promoting on social media? If yes, read on…
From experience, I know creating content and building a fans page can take a lot of time out of your day. Once you have it all made, it looks amazing! You’re proud of it and want to show it off. People may look, but do they commit? You need to get subscribers.
Sure, you can try shouting about it on Instagram, X, TikTok and other social media channels. That’s great!… If you have 1M followers on those platforms.
Even at that level, it is a numbers game. Followers can be flaky, even invisible.
The vast majority of social media followers are not willing or able to pay to see content. Many are not even genuine accounts.
The social media channels are awash with waste-of-space profiles. Many fake or spam accounts, others just scrolling or lurking. There is no value to these followers. They have no attention or understanding. For this reason it is not easy to gain subscribers to your fans page from social media, as it can be hard to find genuine fans.
Out of those social followers who are genuine and understand what its all about, some will join for a snoop. They’ll sub’ one time for a month to see what’s on offer, then don’t bother to renew.
Winning fans’ pledges for monthly subs is the arduous part of building a successful fans page.
Without getting monthly commitment, it barely seems worth the hassle. You end up feeling undervalued for your time and effort.
Many models attempt to get subscribers to their fans page by offering it subscription free. They will put a certain amount as free to view and the “good” stuff behind paywalls.
That is a smart strategy, providing fans are good quality and have the funds (or the desire) to pay to unlock the good stuff. And when they join for free, then don’t spend, this only advances the headache.
If this scenario sounds tediously familiar, you are in the same boat as the vast majority who have the same dream as you. That dream is, to make thousands of pounds selling content on a subcription-based fans page.
The issue is not you as the model. Providing your content is high quality, the issue is not your content either. The issue is how you get traffic to your fans page.
HOW CREATOR SITES WORK
If you’re one who’s already dived in thinking it’s easy making money from a fans page, I’m sorry you have learnt the hard way.
You will have been told to promote, promote, promote on social media. This is because generally, creator sites have no traffic of their own, therefore are unable to send subscribers to your fans page.
Creator sites provide the framework on which creators host their fan pages. They’re packed with all sorts of neat features which creators can use as tools for selling content.
How they make their money, is they drive creators to bring them the fans. They earn their commission for the privilege of creators bringing the business to them.
These sites ultimately rely on influencers and celebrities to fund a vast percentage of fans payments to their site. Big name creators advertise their fans pages which raises greater awareness of the brand.
As a result the creator sites gain member signups along with more creators, who then bring them more member signups and attract more creators. It is a very clever business model.
Unfortunately, those members signups brought in by influencer creators do not benefit the unknown creator who starts at the bottom. Newbies have have to build their presence by finding their own fans. It can take years to get to “influencer” level and still, most will never make it. Usually this involves a lucky break.
The bottom line is… if you are not an influencer or celebrity, getting interest for your fans page is a hard hustle. Many individuals soon realise this, and give up.
Now I can see you shrugging your shoulders with a “been there, done it, bought the T-shirt” type sigh.
So it gives me great pleasure to say… “Wait! There is a way!”
You can build a successful fans page and you can find fans willing to pay.
Forget about wasting more time making those cliched “link in bio” posts (yawn) on social media, (the ones very few bother to click are they’re too busy scrolling).
HOW TO GET SUBSCRIBERS TO YOUR FANS PAGE
Join a platform that brings the fans to you!
Being a successful creator is not just about creating high quality content. It is about being a great salesperson too. We know that face-to-face marketing works, as people buy from people.
You can meet genuine fans on a platform with all the tools that do everything a creator site does… which has traffic!
Do these things:
Join the right platform (I’ll help you with this at the end of this article).
Position yourself in a live chat scenario and meet your subscribers face to face, online. This way, you directly engage them.
Chat, let them get to know the face behind the photos. Be personable and charm them.
Unleash your powers of persuasion by upselling your fans page – simply, talk about what’s on offer there.
Offer them a joining gift or incentive such as an introductory discount. Alternatively, offer a free personalised photoset or short welcome tease video.
Offer their incentive on-the-spot (like a flash sale) if they instantly subscribe.
Once they’re in your page, do your great customer service. Message them on the day they join to connect in chat and arrange their welcome gift.
WHY THIS WORKS
When you meet your potential subscribers face to face on a chat-based platform, the numbers game has greater odds. This is because the fans you chat with are registered network members, with billing in place.
These are not the same social media ghosts who lurk on Instagram and never like or comment, let alone click that link in the bio.
These network members already spend money. They engage in live chat, tip models and do private shows (which you too can benefit from). They buy media content and customs.
All you need to do once you’ve got their attention is point out the “click to buy” button in your chat room. They do not need a separate signup. Just one click and they are on your fans page. Another click and they’ve subscribed.
Piece of cake!
ONGOING COMMITMENT
Once you have your fans, you need to work smart to keep them on board. This is very important, otherwise they may get complacent.
Add regular high quality content and you will get them hooked and wanting more!
Do these things:
Add a piece of high quality, high definition content daily, or as a minimum five days per week. This can be an HD video, a photoset (make sure the lighting is great), some POV snaps (make sure these are clear definition), or an audio message, for example.
Message with your subscribed fans often to keep them engaged and returning to your page every day, hungry to see more of you.
Offer them custom content packages on photosets, videos and audio content. This way you will build a strong and personal relationship with your fans.
If they drop away, offer them a rejoining incentive with a % discount to win back their business.
Also, I want to tell you that on this platform, you get 80% payout of everything your fans spend on the content you create for your fans page!
Knowing your platform has provided you not only with the tools to build your fans page, but has provided the fans also, is an absolute WIN!
Finally you have a platform that brings the fans to you! Register your interest here for a call back and we will help you set this up.
