Common Use Cases

Run an exclusive text list

A paid SMS community where your most engaged fans hear from you directly — and can text you back.

Run an exclusive text list

If a public account is the front door to your audience, an exclusive text list is the back room. It's where you share things you wouldn't post publicly, drop early access, and build a real relationship with the people who care most — and get paid recurring revenue for it.

Free vs paid membership tiers

Why creators use this

  • SMS is personal. Texts get read, replied to, and remembered in a way emails don't.
  • Recurring revenue. Subscribers pay monthly — automatic billing, automatic renewals.
  • Two-way conversations. Every text you send is a conversation starter. Replies land in your inbox.
  • Free + paid together. A free tier grows your list; the paid tier converts your most loyal 5–10%.

What to send

  • Behind-the-scenes the public doesn't see
  • Early access — drops, tickets, products before they go wide
  • Personal updates, recommendations, asks for feedback
  • Replies to replies — subscribers who get a personal text back are the ones who stay

Set it up

Go to Memberships → New membership, set your tier(s) and price, write a welcome text, and share your signup link. Full walkthrough in Memberships.

Tips

  • Keep texts short. Two to four sentences wins every time.
  • Drip new subscribers. Set up a short welcome sequence so new joiners feel the value immediately. See Automations.
  • Tease the paid tier to free subscribers. Occasional previews of paid content are your best conversion tool.
