Step 3 of 3

Put your fans first

Use what you know to deliver better experiences that bring fans deeper and drive fan-led growth.

Overview

Once fans are inside, overdeliver for them.

Create more direct, personalized and shareable experiences that recognize, involve and reward them.

Every time you have something new, whether it's a single, a tour, a merch drop or an update:

  • Start with your fans
  • Bring them into the moment
  • Then invite the world in

Use what you now know about your fans to choose who gets access first. Reach them directly and bring them back into your world to listen, watch, comment, vote and share.

You're taking the things you already do and making them moments fans feel part of. That brings them deeper and creates energy that draws others in.

Start with your fans

Launch directly to your fans, not through an algorithm.

  • Create a Post with your music, video, tour dates or news, and send it to the fans you choose.
  • Give them access first: everyone, your members, or the fans who care most. Gate it so they get there before anyone else.

Bring them in

Give fans something to do, not just something to receive. Fans notice when artists notice.

  • Let them listen, watch, react, comment and vote inside your world.
  • Reply to them from your artist account.

Make it bigger

New visitors see what your fans are already doing, and they are invited to join. The energy your fans created is what brings the next fans in. That's Fan-Led Growth: more fans, deeper fandom, and a stronger, more valuable fanbase.

  • Open it to everyone.

Three playbooks within the playbook

The same three beats, every time. Here is how they run for a new single, a merch drop and a tour on-sale.

A new single

Fans first. Put the new single in a Post and gate it, so your members hear it first.

Bring them in. Fans listen, watch the video, react and comment inside your world.

Make it bigger. Open the Post to everyone. New listeners join to hear it.

You still released a single. Now the release also built your fanbase.

A merch drop

Fans first. Give fans early access, a special product or a benefit.

Bring them in. Let them vote on the design.

Make it bigger. Open the drop publicly.

You still sold merch. Now buying becomes another expression of fandom you can recognize later.

A tour on-sale

Fans first. Run a Ticket Unlock that verifies real fans, and you choose who gets priority.

Bring them in. Fans come through your world to unlock access.

Make it bigger. Open the general on-sale and invite new fans to join for next time.

You still sold tickets. Now the fans who care the most got there first.

Always on

Some moments don't need a launch. Set them up once and they keep putting fans first for you: the welcome every new member gets, a birthday message, a note when you announce a show near them.

See it in action.

Build your world.
Not someone else's.
