Cool tips for growth #3: The teaser tactic

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

How do you get people to join your Patreon without giving everything away for free? The teaser tactic.

What it is: Tease 10-20% of your video, podcast, tutorial... whatever you're posting, and tell them where to get the rest (Patreon). You give your audience juuust enough of a taste to get them excited and wanting more. Watch the video to see how 5-4 podcast makes this work.

"Alright folks, if you want to hear the full episode and the full story, subscribe to our Patreon."

The result: 446 new paid memberships in one day. It's all about creating curiosity and leading your audience to take action.
