Over the last 5 years, thousands of content creators have turned to subscription-style platforms to provide their income and boost their fanbase. PPV (pay-per-view) videos or monthly subscriptions make up much of most creators income, but tips can help bolster your income without a lot of extra work.
Much like table service in a restaurant, tips don’t just come in on their own, you have to give people a reason to tip you and keep tipping. Read below to find out how to get more tips and increase your income.
Tip Goals
An easy way to encourage your viewers to tip is to add a tip goal. Setting a monthly tip goal can give people an easy reason to tip without having to push too hard. “If I get to X Tips this month I’ll post an exclusive image/video etc. without extra cost” This way, there’s always a reason for people to keep tipping without you having to advertise too heavily. Plus, you can offer thank-you gifts/content for the subscribers that help you reach the goal each month.
Tips by Private Messaging
When you create bundles of content, keeping certain things back rather than posting everything right away can give you a surplus of quick and easy content to use as a thank you for those who tip. This can also work for new subscribers. For instance, sending them a message as soon as they subscribe saying something along the lines of “Thanks for subscribing, if you tip just X amount, I’ll send you an exclusive video/image just for you” This shows them that if they engage with you, they’ll receive new content above what they get for their monthly fee.
Tip Menu
You can also offer custom content/experiences to your subscribers by adding a Tip Menu right on your Profile Description/Bio. Not only does this give people an incentive to spend more money with you, but it also brings you closer to your audience, which can help give them a better experience and also keep them subscribed even longer. Of course, you can set your rules to whatever kinds of content you’re willing to make, but you can also set a tip menu on your page that gives your audience a choice of the kind of things you offer. On Escortfans, fans are allowed to tip from $5 up to $100. This gives fans the opportunity to request fully customised content based on your Tip Menu.
Remember
You can create a “Tips Menu/Goals” post or add it to your Description and keep it at the top of your profile so all fans can see it and keep it in mind every time they visit your profile!
One thing we’d recommend not doing is just asking for tips without giving something to your audience in exchange. Much like our earlier restaurant analogy, if the experience isn’t positive to begin with, you’re unlikely to receive additional money. If you’re constantly engaging with your audience, updating your content, and giving your fans an incentive to spend more, they’ll more than likely be happy to. So there you have it, these little bits of advice teach you not only how to get more tips, but also how to build a stronger relationship with your fanbase so they stay subscribed (and tipping) for longer!
