How do I sell content in private messages?
Send a media item from your private library with a price in Lewds, and set the price for fans to send you media.
For many creators, selling per item in conversations is the first source of revenue, ahead of subscriptions.
Sending paid content
- 1Open the conversation, tap the add-media button
- 2Pick a file, or a media item from your private library
- 3Add a title and a teaser message
- 4Set the unlock price in Lewds, or send it for free
- 5Send: the fan sees a blurred preview and the price, and unlocks it if they want
Your private library
It stores unpublished images, videos and audio, organized in folders. It is your stock: the same item can be sold to several fans without re-uploading it.
Charging for media you receive
Under Settings › Chat, you can set a price fans must pay to send you an image, a video or an audio message. Useful to filter unsolicited content.
Automating the hook
Also in chat settings, an automatic message can go out on every new subscription or new follow, with an attached media item, free or paid.
Tracking what it earns
The "Display earnings per user" option shows how much each fan has spent, right in the conversation list. The Fans page also lets you segment by top spenders.
Be clear about what a paid item contains: a disappointing unlock turns into refund requests and reports.
