Fanvue automatically groups your fans into Lists, and lets you message an entire list at once (a broadcast) or automatically when a fan takes a specific action.
But the strongest driver of message revenue is always the connection between you and a fan. Lists and automation only amplify a relationship that already exists, they don't replace one.
Messaging fans you haven't actually connected with tends to hurt retention even if it nudges sales up short-term (see the Your First Week With a New Fan guide)
The Lists you already have
Fanvue pre-populates these lists automatically:
Subscribers
Followers
Non-Renewing Fans
Auto-Renewing Fans
Expired Subscribers
Free Trial Subscribers
Spent more than $50
Sending a mass message
Go to the messages section
Select "new message" (the + icon)
Choose individual accounts, or select a whole list/group from the top
Match the message to the list
The point of segmenting is that each list gets a message suited to where that fan actually is with you:
Subscribers: point them at a new PPV drop or a themed Collection. See the PPV Media guide for what makes a PPV item convert.
Followers: these fans haven't paid yet! Use this list to nudge them toward subscribing. Tease them with a partial picture or a snippet of content, a "look what you're missing" angle, rather than a plain ask (see picture below).
Free Trial Subscribers: remind them what they'd lose access to before the trial ends, and consider reminding them of a promotional offer (like a discounted first month) to give them a reason to convert before it expires.
Expired Subscribers / Non-Renewing Fans: you can send a win-back message, since this is a place creators commonly underperform.
Spent more than $50: your highest-intent spenders. These sell best 1:1, not as a broadcast. $50 is a fairly low bar, so consider a custom higher-spend list and exclude this group from your mass messages.
Automated messages: set it once, it runs itself
Automated messages fire on a trigger (a fan follows, subscribes, replies, etc.) instead of you sending manually every time. You can write your own or generate a starting draft with AI, and attach images, files, or voice notes.
New Subscriber welcome messages are the most-used and among the highest-earning automated type, set this one up first if you haven't already.
New Follower welcome messages are sent even more often but earn much less per message, since followers haven't paid yet. Use it to build the relationship and promote subscribing, not to hard-sell PPV.
Subscription Renewed: Thank your most loyal subscribers for being there another month (see example below).
Subscriber Canceled win-back messages are sent often but earn very little on average. A cute or slightly suggestive image showing what they're missing out on can add an extra pull toward resubscribing.
Find and send your saved messages faster
Template Messages now live in a searchable panel beside the chat: find the message you want, drop it in, and keep the conversation moving. Pin your best performers to the top.
High-volume creators can save a full script and have themselves or their team run through it in sequence, tweaking as needed.
Cadence for new creators: how much is too much?
There's no official limit. If you're just starting out, broadcast only when you have something genuinely worth saying (a drop, an offer, a milestone), not on a fixed schedule.
Messaging too often risks mutes or unsubscribes (see Managing your chats and messages for what that looks like from the fan's side). Increase frequency once you've learned how your own audience responds.
Pairing broadcasts with PPV and tips
Use a broadcast to point Subscribers at a new PPV post or message the moment it's live, rather than hoping they scroll past it. See the PPV Media guide for what makes the content itself convert.
A broadcast is also a natural way to surface a tip prompt or campaign.
Keep in mind! The biggest source of message-driven revenue on the platform is ordinary 1:1 conversation, not broadcasts. The connection between you and a fan is what actually drives earnings ❤️
