YouTube’s Fan Funding features are a fantastic way to fuel the growth of your channel.  With these features, you can forge deeper connections with your audience while earning a little extra cash. Here’s how you can use fan funding features to your advantage: 

  • CHANNEL MEMBERSHIPS

Channel memberships work this way- your devoted fans show their support by joining your members-only paid community, and in return, you provide them with some really juicy content, igniting their excitement and satisfaction.

Channel memberships can help you build a thriving community with your most loyal fans. You can get them to hit the join button by promising and delivering some really good exclusive content

These include special tips, personal coaching, personalized community posts, merch discounts, polls for video ideas, members-only chats, loyalty badges, and more.

  • SUPERTHANKS

SuperThanks lets your viewers send you a small token of thanks for your content. It’s an awesome way for viewers to show their appreciation and support your channel. Viewers can use SuperThanks to buy a one-time animation for your videos as well as send you a special, colourful comment. 

To receive your viewers’ thanks, go to YouTube Studios, then click on “Earn”. If you’re eligible, you’ll be able to see the Supers tab where you can turn on SuperThanks. Once turned on, you’ll be able to see a “Thanks” option under all your previous and future videos.

Get the most out of SuperThanks on YouTube with these fun best practices: 

  • Give enthusiastic replies to your generous viewers
  • Pin those special SuperThanks comments that make you smile and encourage other viewers to donate
  • Surprise your community with in-video shoutouts. 
  • Build a dazzling wall of fame to honor your top supporters 
  • Create SuperThanks videos, revealing where and how their contributions help fund your content dreams!

  • SUPERCHAT AND SUPERSTICKERS

The SuperChat and SuperStricker are fun features that appear on your audience’s chat during live streams and Premieres. These liven up viewers’ Chat messages as they can contribute by adding colorful and animated stickers to their messages. These wonderful features help you interact and entertain your audience. The stickers grab attention and, depending on the purchase amount, remain at the top for a longer length of time.

Just like SuperThanks, to access SuperChat and SuperStickers, you have to be eligible in the available countries. To start earning your fans’ support, go to YouTube Studios and click on “Earn”. Under the Supers tab, turn on SuperChat and SuperStickers to enjoy their benefits! 

Here are some creative ways you can use to Make More Money with SuperChat

Fan Funding features work differently for different creators. To earn your viewers’ support you need to put out some excellent content that they enjoy. Ask yourself which creators would you like to pay for and why? 

Create an exciting video to inform your viewers about these awesome features. Be open and transparent right from the start, sharing why their support is crucial and how you plan to utilize their contributions. Whether it’s for enhancing your content or upgrading equipment, let your viewers in on the fun! Experiment with these features, paying close attention to how your audience responds, and if you enjoy the experience, feel free to continue using them!
