For many creators PPV and tips bring in more than the subscription fee.
How PPV works
You set a price on a photo, video or message; the fan pays to unlock it. A common pattern is a welcome message followed by a paid offer.
Pricing and timing of PPV is where chat skill (or a chat team) matters.
Using PPV well
Match PPV to the fan's interest rather than blasting the same price to everyone. Personalised offers convert better.
This is the work agencies' chatters focus on.
