Common questions

How do I charge people a monthly subscription for my videos?

You need a paywall built into your video platform, so fans can subscribe without leaving your channel. On Pludor, open Monetize (pludor.com/me/monetize), set a monthly price for your channel, and mark clips as subscriber-only when uploading in Flika Studio. Non-subscribers see a blurred teaser and can subscribe in-app.

How much does it cost to set up subscriptions for my content?

On Pludor, Creator Subscriptions are free to set up - you just need a store, which is also free to create. Subscription and content sales carry the creator platform fee, and you keep the rest. There's no card required to start.

What's the best way to monetize a short-video channel besides ads?

Subscriptions are the most direct option: fans pay monthly for premium content instead of you relying on ad payouts. You can combine that with shoppable videos, affiliate links and digital products. Pludor's Creator Hub (pludor.com/me/monetize) lets you run subscriptions, affiliate campaigns and product sales from one dashboard.

How do I make some videos free and others paid on the same channel?

Keep your regular clips public and mark only your premium ones as subscriber-only. In Flika Studio, you choose per clip whether it's subscriber-only when you upload. Free viewers then see a blurred teaser of the locked clips, which markets the subscription for you.

Do I need a separate paywall platform to sell premium content?

No, if your platform includes subscriptions natively. Many creators end up juggling a separate paywall tool because their video host doesn't charge for content. Pludor bundles subscriptions into its Flika video feed, so you set a price in Monetize and lock clips in the same place you upload them.

How do I know if my subscription content is actually earning money?

Track subscribers and payouts from your monetization dashboard rather than guessing. On Pludor, open Monetize (pludor.com/me/monetize) to see subscriber counts and payouts. Flika Studio also shows views, taps and attributed sales for your videos.

Is it safe to sell subscriptions as a small creator?

Yes - subscription revenue is recurring, so even a small base of real subscribers is more stable than one-off sales. The main risk is expecting earnings before you have an audience; earnings depend on real subscribers. Start free, share your channel link widely, and let blurred teasers convert viewers.

Subscriptions vs one-time sales - which should I use for my content?

Subscriptions suit content you produce regularly, like weekly videos or tutorials, because fans pay monthly for ongoing access. One-time sales work better for a single course or download. Pludor lets you run both from the same Monetize dashboard, so you can test which your audience prefers.

How do I get subscribers to find my paid channel?

Share your channel link everywhere your fans already are - your bio, social profiles and posts. Your Pludor channel lives at pludor.com/flika/{your-name}, and you can pin it on your storefront and Flika profile. A free link-in-bio page at pludor.com/your-name gives fans one place to find everything and subscribe.

What kind of creators do paid video subscriptions work for?

They work best when you make content people want repeatedly - video creators, educators and niche entertainers are the natural fit. The key is a clear gap between your free content and what subscribers get. Post free teasers publicly and lock the deeper or exclusive material behind the subscription.
