# CliQ

> CliQ is your private community space on Circo — automatically created for every Studio and exclusive to your subscribers.

CliQ is a private community space tied directly to your Studio. It gives your subscribers a place to interact with you and each other beyond just watching your content. Every creator on Circo gets a CliQ automatically — you don't need to set it up separately.

## How CliQ works

* **Auto-created**: When you become a creator, Circo generates a CliQ for your Studio by default. It appears in your Messages tab as your community hub.
* **Auto-populated**: Every fan who subscribes to your Studio is automatically added to your CliQ. You don't need to invite them manually.
* **Post-driven**: Every post you share is also published in your CliQ, where subscribers can react and respond beneath it.
* **One-way posting**: Only you can start conversations and create posts in CliQ. Subscribers can comment, react, and give feedback — but cannot create their own posts or threads.

<Note>
  PPV-only buyers do **not** get access to your CliQ. CliQ is exclusive to subscribers. If you have a Public Studio and want to give a fan CliQ access, they need to subscribe — not just purchase individual content.
</Note>

## Subscriber experience in CliQ

When a fan subscribes to your Studio, they're automatically added to your CliQ. From their side:

* Your posts appear in CliQ like messages in a group chat
* They can react, comment, and engage with your posts directly
* They cannot start their own threads or create posts
* CliQ becomes their go-to space for interacting with you and with other subscribers

## Why CliQ matters for your Studio

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Community building">
    CliQ creates a sense of belonging. When subscribers feel like they're part of your inner circle — not just an audience — they're more likely to stay subscribed and engage more deeply with your content.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Direct feedback">
    Use CliQ to get real-time reactions to new content, test ideas before investing in a full Drop, or ask what your audience wants to see next.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Exclusive sharing">
    CliQ is a low-friction way to deliver value between your regular uploads — a quick behind-the-scenes post, a sneak peek, or a personal update keeps subscribers engaged without requiring a full production.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Subscriber retention">
    Subscribers who feel engaged are less likely to cancel. Regular activity in CliQ reinforces the value of staying subscribed, especially during gaps between uploads.
