Emilia believes this happens for a few reasons.<\/p><p>In Lit-RPGs case, fans typically have already gathered themselves in communities on Discord. Romance is the best-selling genre by far, so therefore it will be overrepresented. That being said, romance writing tends to lead to strong communities anyways (Think Twilight or 50 Shades of Gray).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-77651c3 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"77651c3\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-aa58dca\" data-id=\"aa58dca\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-14df01d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"14df01d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How do you Build and Sell a Subscription?\n<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2036a63 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2036a63\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-28c5a83\" data-id=\"28c5a83\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ec03c2b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ec03c2b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Next, we\u2019re going to cover how to build out a subscription of your own.<\/p><p>Let\u2019s start off with the pricing and tiers.<\/p><p>Emilia recommends no more than three tiers at first. Start simple, and expand as time goes on.<\/p><p>First identify what you want to give your audience, what you have the time to give to your audience, and then what your audience actually wants. Once you understand this, you can better set up the different tiers.<\/p><p>When it comes to setting your subscription price, Emilia recommends making the lowest tier at $5.<\/p><p>Considering all these options charge 10%~ + .$30 per transaction, a small subscription tier price causes a huge chunk of change to go straight to the payment processor and not the authors themself.<\/p><p>Starting a subscription at $5\/month allows for the author to take home a significant portion of their earnings (up to 90%)!<\/p><p>Always underpromise, and overdeliver. Don\u2019t tell them that you\u2019ll release 20 chapters this month and then not come through with it.<\/p><p>If you promise something that you cannot deliver, then your readers will lose trust in you and unsubscribe.<\/p><p>If you promise a smaller number of chapters, bonus scenes, or merch and then give them more than what you promised, then your readers are going to feel special and want to continue to support you!<\/p><p>Emilia has more experience doing the early access model. The way she did it was to start writing a book live and provide free chapters on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wattpad.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wattpad<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.inkitt.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Inkitt<\/a>, teasing readers. In order for them to get more chapters sooner, they have to join your paid community.<\/p><p>But for bonus content, some of her network has a lot of success in romance posting artwork that\u2019s safe for work on <a href=\"https:\/\/booklinker.com\/blog\/social-media-for-authors\/\">social media<\/a> and placing the not-safe-for-work content behind a paywall.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-bf69bbc elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"bf69bbc\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6b56c87\" data-id=\"6b56c87\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fdac480 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fdac480\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Best Subscription Services for Authors\n<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6339f0a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6339f0a\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3d8649d\" data-id=\"3d8649d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cef8a92 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"cef8a92\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Patreon<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a030195 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a030195\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-bafc250\" data-id=\"bafc250\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c557ce1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c557ce1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*!
