Sending a Mass Message
Mass messages send the same DM (with optional PPV attachment) to all your subscribers — or to a custom list — in one shot. Used well, they're the highest-revenue tool you have. Used badly, they tank your retention.
How to send
- Inbox → Mass Message (or Compose → Mass Message).
- Choose the recipients:
- All active subscribers.
- All subscribers + free trial active.
- All cancelled/expired subscribers (re-engagement).
- A custom list (see Using Lists).
- Compose the message.
- Optionally attach a PPV unlock with a price.
- Optionally attach vault content (free attachment).
- Tap Send to N fans.
The message goes out to every recipient as a personal DM. Each fan sees only the message in their own inbox — they don't see who else got it.
Quotas
There are no quotas on mass messaging. You can send as many as you want. But:
- Use sparingly. Daily mass messages train fans to ignore you.
- One per week is a healthy maximum for most creators.
- One every 2 weeks with a PPV attachment is the sweet spot for revenue without churn.
What converts
- PPV mass messages with a clear hook in the first 1–2 lines.
- Limited-time pricing. "First 24 hours: 300 FB. After that: 600 FB."
- Voice notes instead of text for personal messages.
- Personalized openers. Use the
[name]placeholder so each message starts with the fan's display name.
What doesn't
- Long walls of text. Fans skim DMs. 2–4 lines max.
- Generic "hey love" openers that feel automated.
- Sending the same content to fans who already bought it. Use list filters to exclude repeat buyers.
- Sending too soon after a previous mass message. Wait at least 4–7 days between mass messages of the same type.
Personalization tokens
Use these in your message body to personalize:
[name]— fan's display name.[username]— fan's @username.[sub_length]— how long they've been subscribed (e.g., "3 months").[lifetime_spend]— their total spend with you (use sparingly).
The tokens are replaced when each message sends.
Excluding fans
Before sending, you can exclude:
- Fans who already bought a specific PPV (avoid duplicate offers).
- Fans you've DM'd in the last 24 hours (prevent inbox fatigue).
- Fans on a specific list you don't want included.
Tracking results
After a mass message sends, view the results in Inbox → Mass Messages → [the message]:
- How many were delivered.
- How many were read.
- How many unlocked the PPV.
- Total FanBucks earned.
Use this to learn what actually converts for your audience.
Mistakes to avoid
- Mass messaging non-subscribers. Don't message fans who aren't subscribed and never engaged. It feels spammy and triggers reports.
- Mass messaging cancelled subs too soon. Wait at least 7 days after their period ends before re-engagement.
- High PPV prices in mass messages. Mass message PPV converts better at 30–50% off your standard PPV pricing.
