This weekend's build: more ways to earn and a hub to help you grow (Oct 3–4)

It was a big weekend. Here's what's new on ByUs. More ways to earn. Members can now message you, and you can offer paid messages or 1:1 video calls. For both, the fan's card is only held, and it's charged only if you reply or show up for the call. You can also sell a single members-only post, or a bundle of posts, to people who aren't members yet. Fans can gift a membership or buy one for a group. And podcasters can upload episodes as audio posts that members hear in their own podcast app. Tools for your community. Comments on posts, scheduled posts, limited spots on a tier, and a "Taking a break" mode that skips monthly renewals while you're away. Members-only photos and videos now carry a faint watermark with the viewer's name. Help to grow. The new creator hub at byusapp.com/creator-hub has a 12-step growth path, a pricing calculator that shows what you'd take home at any price, and a toolkit of gear and apps I recommend. Your dashboard now looks at your page and suggests your next three steps. And every Help Center page has a chat for your questions. Also new: show your ByUs page at your own web address, send new members and posts to Zapier, Make or Discord, and fans can ask for a refund right from their dashboard. ByUs reviews every request. The terms got a rewrite too. Every section now starts with a plain-English summary, and one promise is written in: a tier's price never goes up after you join. Everything new is listed at byusapp.com/whats-new. Questions or ideas? Email support@byusapp.com.
