If you've been Quipping consistently, you've likely noticed free members joining your community. That's exactly what we want to see.

‌

Consistent public posts give you a reliable touchpoint to build familiarity over time. As free members see your work regularly, they get to know you. That familiarity is what ultimately converts free fans into paid supporters.

‌

You now have an audience that's already interested in your work so here are two proven strategies to help turn that interest into paid membership:

Reach free members right when they join. This automated message could include a warm thank you for following, what makes your paid membership special (exclusive work, community access, early releases), and a clear invitation to join as a paid member.

‌

Keep it warm and personal, but also let them know what they'll be missing out on.

Here's some examples from creators who are making it work:

Scarcity and urgency work. Offering a limited discount or a "low-price" tier is great at successfully nudging free members to take the next step.
