How do I offer a paid subscription to my audience?

Member subscriptions let you bill your audience on a recurring basis, for example every month, in exchange for access or exclusive content. It's the right tool when you want steady income rather than a one-off sale.

You set the monthly price and what the member gets. Once subscribed, your member is billed automatically at each due date, until they choose to cancel. You track your subscribers from your dashboard.

Compare it with direct PayPal payment: the latter charges an amount once, while member subscriptions charge at regular intervals. Many creators combine both: one-off products plus a subscription for their most loyal followers.

Be clear about what the subscription includes and how to cancel it. A clear promise and an easy cancellation reduce disputes and build loyalty: trust is your best retention argument.
