What is a membership?
- When you create membership plans, you earn a fixed amount of income every month through each plan member’s recurring payments.
- Any reader can immediately start using a plan by clicking the “Subscribe to this plan” button and paying the monthly recurring fee. The plan price is automatically charged every month until the member cancels their membership subscription or the creator ends the plan.
- Creators cannot refuse a membership subscription or remove members.
- Creators can restrict posts to members only and provide additional benefits.
- When a channel only allows comments from “buyers/subscribers,” members can read and write comments on all posts during their subscription period.
After the membership period ends, members can only delete their comments in [library] > [comments]. - When you withdraw “membership income” earned from running a membership, the same 10% platform fee applies as for “post income.” [Earnings] is where you can check your membership income.
Creating a membership plan
- Go to [Studio] > [Membership] > [Plans] and click “+ Add plan” to create a membership plan.
- Maximum number of plans: You can create up to 5 plans per channel.
- Maximum number of members: You can set it from 0 to 100,000. (0 means unlimited)
- Plan price: You can set it in 10 KRW units between 1,000 KRW and 1,000,000 KRW, and once set, it cannot be changed.
- Once you create a membership plan, any active membership plans will be displayed on your channel.
Setting higher and lower plans
If you have created 2 or more plans, you can set higher and lower plans. When you set a lower plan with a lower subscription fee under another plan, members of the higher plan automatically receive access benefits for posts intended for members of the lower plan.
- In [Studio] > [Membership] > [Plans], select the higher plan (the plan with the higher membership price)
- In “Lower plans,” click the “Set lower plan” button and choose the lower plan
- Only plans that are already active can be set as lower plans.
- If you want Plan A members to see only the main work, and Plan S members to see both the main work and side stories, set Plan A as a lower plan under Plan S. Then publish the main work to Plan A, and the side stories to Plan S.
