Should I enable my Creator Subscription?
Once you have signed up on Stipop Studio and started uploading stickers, you can start activating your Creator Subscription to allow your fans to subscribe directly to your Creator account and support your creative work.
If you are thinking of getting started right away, go to Settings from Stipop Studio and click ‘Enable Subscription’. The enabling process usually takes about 1 business day, a time that is required by the Apple App Store to release your subscription.
Here's a guide to help you make this decision.
Understanding Creator Subscription: A Creator Subscription allows fans to pay a recurring fee to access all your content, including premium sticker packs. It's a commitment from both sides: creators regularly provide exclusive content, and fans pay to access it.
When to Enable Creator Subscription:
You Have a Dedicated Audience: If you've already built a strong, engaged fanbase who love your work and regularly interact with your content (for example, over several hundred followers on Instagram), a subscription model would work great for you.
Commitment to Regular Uploads: This model requires you to be consistent with your uploads so you can keep your promise to your paid subscribers. If you’re able to commit to creating and sharing content on a monthly basis, you should consider activating the Creator Subscription! You can learn more about earning on Stipop here.
Benefits of the Creator Subscription Model:
Stable Income: Subscriptions provide a more predictable income compared to one-time purchases.
Deeper Fan Engagement: Subscribers are likely to be your most dedicated fans. This model fosters a closer creator-fan relationship.
Creative Freedom: Regular subscribers might be more open to diverse or experimental content.
When to Stay with One-Time Purchases and Bundle Subscription (meaning, Creator Subscription disabled):
Building Your Audience: If you’re still in the process of growing your audience, it might be better to stick with one-time purchases and Bundle Subscriptions - which is an all-in-one subscription plan where users can access all stickers on Stipop (except premium sticker packs) and you get payout according to usage.
Flexibility in Content Creation: Without the pressure of regular uploads, you can focus on quality over quantity, creating content at your own pace.
If you are still not sure, take your time! There’s no pressure. You can even try asking your favorite fans or contact our creator team to discuss more.
