How to Grow Creator Earnings on Passes: Content Strategy and Pricing Guide
Building a sustainable income as a creator comes down to two things: publishing content your fans cannot get anywhere else and pricing it in a way that reflects its value. This guide covers the core strategies shared during a recent Passes creator webinar, co-hosted by Ryan Lu and Naomi Kyle, including how to structure your content, price your membership tiers, and use Passes features to stay consistent and grow.
How to Build a Content Strategy That Drives Earnings
The foundation of any successful creator business on Passes is content that feels exclusive, personal, and worth paying for. Here is what that looks like in practice.
What Type of Content to Share
Focus on content that fans cannot find on your free channels. The strongest performers tend to fall into these categories:
- Behind-the-scenes moments and unfiltered access
- Tutorials, tips, and educational content in your area of expertise
- Long-form content that goes deeper than short-form social allows
- Interactive posts that invite your audience to participate
- Seasonal or limited-time content that creates urgency
The through-line across all of it is authenticity. Content that is personal and specific to you is harder to replicate and more valuable to your fans.
Why Engagement Drives Retention
Posting content is only part of the equation. Direct engagement through DMs, polls, and livestreams builds the kind of loyalty that keeps fans subscribed month after month. The more consistently you interact with your audience, the stronger your community becomes and the lower your churn rate will be.
How to Use Urgency to Drive Sign-Ups
Previews and teasers of upcoming content give potential subscribers a reason to act now rather than later. Limited-time offerings work the same way. Both tactics drive new sign-ups and give existing fans a reason to keep coming back.
Why Posting Volume Matters
More content means more earning opportunities. Consistency is what retains fans and keeps subscriptions active. Frequent posting signals to your audience that their subscription is worth maintaining.

How to Price Your Content on Passes
Where to Start
Begin by thinking about your audience: who they are, what they value, and what they are likely to spend. At launch, lead with high-quality exclusive content priced at a premium. As you learn more about your fans' habits on the platform, test and adjust your pricing based on what the data shows.
How Exclusivity Should Affect Price
The more exclusive the content, the higher the price point should be. Custom requests should command premium pricing. For fans you have built a strong rapport with through consistent messaging, you can charge higher price points for locked DM content because the relationship justifies it.
How to Structure Membership Tiers
Passes recommends offering at least three to four membership tiers with increasing value at each level. A strong tier structure looks like this:
- A low-cost entry tier that lowers the barrier for new subscribers
- A mid-tier with added perks and more content access
- A premium tier that includes unlimited messaging
- Higher tiers that bundle all content from lower tiers
- Messaging included at every level to create DM upsell opportunities
During the webinar, Ryan Lu walked through his personal approach to pricing items in his Shop and structuring his Memberships. Naomi Kyle shared her strategy for pricing Mass Messages effectively based on audience engagement.
