Run memberships and supporter perks
Memberships can provide more predictable recurring support when your profile has regular content momentum.
When to use memberships
Memberships work best when you can:
Post consistently
Offer clear supporter value
Maintain communication with members
Membership tier structure
Start simple with 1 to 3 tiers:
Supporter tier: community support and recognition
Insider tier: extra updates and behind-the-scenes content
Premium tier: highest access and priority perks
Perk design principles
Good perks are:
Realistic to deliver
Valuable to members
Clear in frequency and scope
Examples:
Members-only posts

Keep retention in mind
To reduce churn:
Deliver perks on time
Communicate clearly during race-heavy periods
Thank members publicly (with permission)
Troubleshooting
Members join but quickly cancel
