Monetisation & Revenue
Membership Tier
Also called: membership level, tiers
Channels running memberships can offer several price points, and each level carries its own badge, emoji, perks and members-only content. Memberships unlock at the entry tier of the Partner Programme, alongside the other fan funding features, so a channel does not need ad monetisation to run them.
Price is a weak difference on its own. Stack three levels that vary only in cost and the expensive ones read as a tip jar with a badge, so each one needs a reason somebody would move up to it. Every perk is also work you owe every month. A tier you cannot service reliably does more damage than a tier you never launched.
