Launching your Memberships

So, you’ve set up your membership tiers, added perks, and displayed them beautifully on your homepage — great start! Now it’s time to take things up a notch and officially launch.

This guide will walk you through how to create engaging content, set up promotions, and use discounts to generate excitement and attract more supporters from day one.

Step 1: Create Engaging Content

You don’t have to post content right away, but having at least one post ready before launch helps make new members feel welcome and adds a personal touch to your community.

Whether you plan to share exclusive updates, videos, or behind-the-scenes moments — or just want to keep things simple — here’s how to get started.

Create a Welcome post

A welcome post is the first thing new members see when they join. It’s shown at the top of their feed for 24 hours (and always accessible later from their Perks tab).

To set one up, go to: Memberships → Settings → Welcome post.

Then choose one of the following options:

• No welcome post – skip the greeting altogether

• Same post for all tiers – one message shown to everyone

• Different posts per tier – customize your greeting for each membership level

Once you decide, choose your post format:

• Text – share a personal note

• Image – upload a visual or branded graphic

• Video – record a warm video message

Click Save when you’re done — and your welcome post is live!

Step 2: Share Members-Only Posts

Keep your members engaged by sharing exclusive updates or rewards.

Go to Memberships → Posts → Create New Post, and you can add text, images, videos, audio clips, or polls.

Each post includes options for:

• Title & Description – make it catchy and clear

• Tags – organize posts by topic or theme

• Permissions – choose who can see it (all members, specific tiers, or everyone)

• Notifications – decide if members get alerts when you post

• Posting regularly keeps your community active and connected.

Step 3: Run Promotions

Enable Annual Subscriptions

Offering annual subscriptions helps you build long-term commitment and steady revenue. 

To set it up, go to Memberships → Settings → General → Check Offer annual subscription → Set your discount percentage.

Example:

• Monthly: $10

• Annual discount: 20%

• Annual price: $96 (calculated automatically)

Your members will see both monthly and annual options at checkout.

Offer launch discounts

Want to boost sign-ups when you launch? Give new members a special one-time discount!

To enable:

• Go to Memberships → Perks & Tiers

• Click the Setting icon → Edit Tier

• Check Offer one-time discount

• Set the discount amount (monthly and annual)

• (Optional) Set a time limit for the offer

💡 Tip: This works especially well for launches, holidays, or limited-time events.

Step 4: Go Live and Announce Your Launch

Once your content, discounts, and settings are in place — it’s showtime!

Promote your memberships on:

• Your homepage or store

• Social media (Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, etc.)

• Email newsletters

Highlight what makes your tiers valuable — exclusive content, perks, or early access — and invite your fans to be part of your community from the start.
