What you can offer
Your best ideas, worth unlocking.
However you create—posts, threads, breakdowns, guides, links—Insider Access puts it behind a price you set, with a free teaser so members see the value first. A few formats that work:
Live Q&As & AMAs
Host members-only Q&As, then post the recap or the unanswered-question thread for Insiders.
Members-only podcasts & audio
Share early cuts, bonus episodes, or ad-free versions—first looks for the people who pay in.
Premium analysis & breakdowns
The deep read behind your hot takes: film study, market notes, the call you only make for members.
Guides & playbooks
Step-by-step how-tos, templates, and reference posts your audience keeps coming back to.
Behind the scenes & process
Works in progress, the cutting-room floor, and how the thing actually got made.
Early calls & first looks
Drops, picks, and predictions members see before anyone else—timestamped and on the record.
Newsletters & digests
A members-only weekly read—your roundup, what you’re watching, and the stuff that didn’t fit anywhere else.
Courses & tutorials
Teach your craft, step by step. Lessons, walk-throughs, and the techniques you’ve actually proven.
A members’ community
A space that’s just your people—where the best questions, feedback, and conversations happen.
Insider content still passes Reason Check. Paid access changes who can read a post—never the safety standard for publishing it.
Back the Build
Rally backers around what you’re building.
Beyond your Insider content, pitch a project—an app, a book, an album, a film—and your audience backs it with Insider Credits. Post progress as it comes together; the people who believe early help fund the work.
It’s patronage, not investment—backers support the work, with no equity or returns. Verified creators can pitch; backers follow your progress, with some updates just for them.

What you take home
You keep 80% of every credit.
Members buy Insider Credits (about 10¢ each) and spend them to unlock your annual Insider Access. You keep 80% of every unlock and renewal—one simple rate across the board. Cash out your earnings whenever they clear $25.
You keep 80%
Insider Access and project backing share one 20% platform fee—the other 80% is yours.
Cash out at 10¢ a credit
The 20% comes out of the credits you earn, not the rate—a 100-credit unlock ($10) lands 80 credits in your wallet, worth the full $8. Withdraw once earnings clear $25; staff-reviewed, then paid.
You set the price
25 to 500 Insider Credits per year out of the box—or a custom price with approval.
Choose your annual Insider price
Above 500 credits is a custom price with approval.
Your take-home
$8,000/year
1K members × 100 credits/yr, your 80% share at 10¢/credit
Illustrative, at the launch rate (~10¢/credit) and the 80% creator share. Insider Access only — project backing adds on top. Members can cancel renewal anytime; cash out from $25.
Built so the work pays—and keeps paying.
Keep 80%
Eighty cents of every Insider dollar is yours—unlocks and renewals alike. A split that favours the person making the thing.
Recurring by default
Insider Access renews annually. Predictable income that compounds as your audience grows—not one-off sales.
A civil audience
Reason Check keeps replies constructive. Your work gets engagement, not rage-bait pile-ons.
No ads competing
No ads in the feed, ever. Nobody outbids you for your own members’ attention.
Paywall + payments, built in
Set a price, add a teaser, publish. Ysocial handles the gate, the wallet, and the payouts.
Creator Studio
Track members, earnings, renewals, and the Insider posts creating the most value—all in one place.
