# Subscriptions

> Subscriptions let you earn recurring revenue from fans who pay for all-access to your Private Studio.

Subscriptions are the primary monetization model for Private Studios. Instead of charging per video, you set a recurring fee that gives subscribers unlimited access to everything in your Studio — plus your CliQ community.

## How subscriptions work

Fans subscribe by choosing a billing cycle and paying the corresponding fee. Once subscribed, they get:

* **Full content access**: Every Drop, Video, and post in your Private Studio
* **CliQ membership**: Automatic entry into your private community space
* **Ongoing access**: Content stays available as long as the subscription is active

You earn from each renewal — weekly, monthly, or yearly — for as long as the fan stays subscribed.

## Billing cycles

You can offer your subscription at different billing intervals:

  <Card title="Weekly" icon="calendar">
    Shorter commitment, lower barrier to entry. Good for attracting fans who want to try before committing longer-term.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Monthly" icon="calendar-days">
    The most common cycle. Balances accessibility for fans with predictable monthly income for you.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Yearly" icon="calendar-check">
    Higher upfront commitment but stronger retention. Fans who pay yearly are less likely to churn.

## Why subscriptions matter

    Unlike one-off PPV sales, subscriptions give you a recurring revenue baseline you can plan around.

    Subscribers aren't just viewers — they're members. CliQ access turns casual fans into an engaged community.

  <Card title="Conversion through your Trailer" icon="play">
    Your Studio Trailer is the first thing potential subscribers see. A strong Trailer turns curious visitors into paying members.

  <Card title="Content flexibility" icon="shuffle">
    Subscribers pay for access, not individual items — so you can experiment with formats, series, and posting frequency without re-pricing each upload.

## Subscription earnings and Credits

Every subscription payment converts into Earned Credits in your Wallet. These Credits are withdrawable once you complete KYC verification.

<Note>
  Subscription revenue appears in your Creator Dashboard alongside PPV and gifting earnings, so you can see the full picture of how your revenue breaks down.

<Tip>
  Use your CliQ actively to reinforce the value of subscribing. Subscribers who feel engaged are more likely to renew. Regular posts, questions, and behind-the-scenes updates give fans a reason to stay.
</Tip>

<Warning>
  If you switch Studio types, it will affect how fans access your content. Plan any changes carefully and communicate them to your existing subscribers in advance.
