How do I manage my community?
Creator Studio, then Community, is your hub for the people side: seeing who your supporters and members are and keeping the relationship warm. Around it sit the practical tools: group chats you own, membership tiers with linked private communities, and stream moderators you appoint while live.
The pieces of community management
- The Community screen: your people at a glance, supporters, members, and how the community is developing.
- Top supporters (in Earnings): the shortlist of who backs you hardest. A thank-you goes further than you think.
- Group chats: create groups for your community from Messages. Public groups grow by invite link, private ones by admin approval.
- Membership communities: when you set up membership tiers, you can link a private VERGR group to a tier, and paying members are added automatically.
- Stream moderators: while live, appoint trusted viewers as chat moderators so your chat stays healthy when it gets busy.
A workflow that scales
- Start with one public group as your hangout, linked from your profile.
- As it grows, appoint a couple of moderators you trust, in the group and in your stream chat.
- When you launch memberships, link a private members-only group to a paid tier: it becomes the inner circle, and it fills itself.
- Check the Community screen weekly like you check the dashboard: retention of the people you have beats chasing strangers.
