Hi! Creator of fantyde here. We're launching a platform to enable influencers to monetize their following beyond strategies like sponsored posts.<p>Influencers are an inventive crowd that work hard interacting with their fans and creating content. However, their monetization options are limited. The most common approach to monetizing a following after spending months/years working to build it is through pursuing brand partnerships. Advertisers will generally pay 4 figures for posts made by people with 500K to 1M followers.<p>We think that strategies beyond sponsored posts could present a huge opportunity for influencers to profit and for their followers to connect more meaningfully with them.<p>fantyde will allow influencers to offer a paid feed that their followers can subscribe to on a monthly basis to access exclusive content. fantyde acts as an extension of an influencer's Instagram/Twitter/etc. where their most dedicated followers can come to access more content.<p>Influencers set their own monthly subscription prices, and can interpret the opportunity however they want to (barring a few content restrictions). A few examples of premium content could be: exclusive recipes, daily video advice from an expert (e.g. a stock trader), a heartthrob offering access to more selfies, a digital nomad offering city guide videos, etc. Beyond the paid feed, we also want to build in complimentary capabilities like paid private messages and even 1:1 video chat priced by the minute.<p>We want to provide a medium for influencers to build revenue streams that compliment their core competency of creating original content and provide a solution to capitalize on the fact that their most dedicated fans want more of it.
