Creator Dashboard – How-To Guide #12

Free content is a powerful tool—when used right. It can help you grow your following, tease your premium posts, and build curiosity. Here's how to use free posts to get more paying subscribers on Bigmen Fans.

Free Posts Strategy Guide

1. Tease Without Giving It All Away

  • Use cropped shots, partial reveals, or back views.
  • Suggest more:
  • "This is just a taste—full set for subscribers."

2. Write Captions That Tempt

  • Don't just post an image—add story, attitude, or mystery.
  • "Guess what I'm taking off next…"
  • Include a clear call to action:
  • "Subscribe for the full post."

3. Post Free Content Regularly

  • Stay on fans' feeds—even if they haven't subscribed yet.
  • Posting 2–3 times a week keeps you visible and relevant.

4. Use Free Posts to Introduce Series

  • Launch a new theme or series with a free preview.
  • Let the teaser create momentum and push fans to subscribe for the rest.

5. Engage, Even on Free Posts

  • Like comments, reply when possible, and be present.
  • Casual fans become paying fans when they feel seen.

✅ Bonus Tip

Think of free content as the cover—subscribers pay for the story.
