Automated Welcome Messages for New Subscribers

The single highest-ROI message you'll ever send is the welcome message that goes out the moment a fan subscribes. Set this up correctly and it adds 10–20% to PPV revenue with zero ongoing effort.

What an auto-welcome is

An automatic DM that sends to every new subscriber the moment they subscribe. You write it once, attach optional content, and Fansit handles the rest.

How to set up

1. Settings → Auto Messages.
2. Tap + New auto message.
3. Choose trigger: New subscriber (or Free trial started, Sub renewed, etc.).
4. Compose the message.
5. Optional: attach vault content (free) or a PPV unlock.
6. Save.

The auto-message is live immediately. Every new subscriber going forward gets it.

What to put in your welcome

The strongest welcomes have three parts:

1. Genuine welcome. "Thanks for subscribing — this account is built for fans like you. Hope you enjoy."
2. Set expectations. "I post 3–5x/week, usually evenings PT. DMs always open, I usually reply within a day."
3. The hook. A free preview, a discounted PPV, or a tip-menu reference.

Example:

Hey [name] — welcome aboard. Posting 3–5x/week, daily Q&A in DMs, and once a month I drop a longer premium video.

To kick things off: here's a free preview from yesterday's shoot. The full uncut version is here at 50% off for the next 24 hours.

Look forward to chatting.

The PPV attached at "50% off for the next 24 hours" is what drives the revenue lift.

Welcome PPV pricing

The "welcome PPV" is usually best priced 30–50% lower than your standard PPV — fans are warm but haven't committed to spending yet, so a discount converts hard.

A common setup:

• Standard PPV price: 1,000 FB.
• Welcome PPV price: 400 FB (50% off "intro").

The welcome PPV converts at 25–45% for most creators. That means if you get 100 new subs in a month, the welcome PPV alone earns 10,000–18,000 FB.

Stacking auto-messages

You can set up multiple auto-messages with different triggers:

• Day 0 — New subscriber: the welcome.
• Day 3 — Subscriber day 3: check-in, second PPV offer.
• Day 7 — Subscriber week 1: ask for feedback or a custom request.
• Day 25 — Renewal approaching: thank-you note + PPV at standard price.
• Day 31 — Just renewed: longer-term subscriber bonus.

Be careful not to over-message. 2–3 auto-messages in the first 30 days is the sweet spot.

Personalization

Use the same tokens as mass messaging:

• [name]
• [username]
• [sub_length]
• [lifetime_spend]

Avoid over-personalizing — fans pattern-match instantly when something feels templated.

A/B testing your welcome

Most creators rewrite their welcome every 2–3 months and compare conversion:

• Week 1–4: welcome version A.
• Week 5–8: welcome version B.
• Compare PPV unlock rate and total revenue.
• Keep the winner.

It's the highest-value marginal improvement you can make as a creator.

Common mistakes

• Generic "thanks for subbing" with no hook. Just leaves money on the table.
• Demand language. "Tip me 1,000 FB so I keep posting." Fans hate this.
• Over-discounted welcome PPV. A 90% off welcome can feel like the standard PPV is overpriced. Stay in the 30–50% range.
• No PPV at all. Just a text welcome converts at much lower rates than welcome + offer.
