Create a Tier Give it a name, a price, a billing interval and the perks it carries. Add a free trial if you want one. ### 2. Publish for Subscribers Choose subscribers as the audience when you publish, and aim the post at one tier or at several. ### 3. Bring Fans In Share your page address and set a welcome message, so a new subscriber hears from you the moment they join. ## What Does the Fan See? A fan opens the membership tab on your page, picks a tier and pays by card. Subscriber posts unblur for that fan straight away, and each new post reaches them as a notice. The card is billed again on the tier's interval. ## Explore More Features ### Pay-Per-View Posts and Paid Messages Put a price on any post or message.
