Cool tips for growth #1: The 'why it's not on social' tactic

In this series, we dive into the patterns and proven tactics that frequently lead to spikes in creators' memberships.

First up, the "why it's not on social" tactic. Give your fans a reason why you're posting on your Patreon instead of your socials.

The result: The message directly led to over 2,000 more new paid memberships!
