Welcome! It's me again, Start.
Congratulations! Reading the previous article, you created your own independent app in I am Start. You have a ready, personal communication channel that beats traditional methods hands down. But what next? How to make your fans find out about this new, unique place?
It's simpler than you think! Remember how you invited people to your social media? Now you will invite them to your own club. I'll show you a few proven strategies that will help you quickly build a community in your club.
Link in Bio: The Most Important Place to Start
This is the absolute foundation. Move your fans from "rented land" to your home.
Change the link in your bio: Regardless of the platform (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Facebook, LinkedIn), immediately change the link in your bio to your app's address, e.g., kate.iamstart.com. This is your main funnel.
Talk about it: Changing the link isn't enough. Post a post, create a story, record a short video where you get excited about your new app and show fans how to add it to their phone's home screen.
Encouraging in Published Content
Every post is an opportunity to invite.
Video/Post Endings: Always add a clear CTA (Call To Action), e.g., "Remember to join my exclusive club and never miss a signal! Link in bio and description!"
Highlight Benefits: Remind why it's worth it: "No ads", "No algorithms", "Notifications only from me", "Welcome gift", "Privacy".
Banners and Overlays
Use your spaces.
End Screen/Overlay: Add a permanent banner or overlay with your app address on YouTube. During a Twitch stream, ask a mod to pin the link.
Mentions During: Remind about the app naturally while creating content.
Email (Yes, It Still Works!)
Use your existing list.
Notify Your List: If you already have a newsletter, send a message informing about your new app. Highlight benefits (privacy, no spam, instant notifications, gift). This will be the ultimate test of your old newsletter's value—how many fans will want to move to your private club?
Encourage Installation: Explain step by step how to add the icon to the home screen.
Leverage Uniqueness - Show Off!
You are a pioneer!
Exclusivity: Emphasize that this is your own private channel, something more than another social media profile. This testifies to your professionalism.
Show the Process: Record a short tutorial on how easy it is to add the icon to the home screen. People love learning new things from their favorite creators.
Thank for Joining: When people join, thank them publicly (if possible and appropriate). Build a sense of community this way.
Your Success Is Their Choice
Remember that fans join because they see value. Show it to them. Emphasize that this is a place where they will receive the most important information from you, without noise, without algorithms, with respect for their privacy. The more fans in your club, the stronger your independence becomes. Start inviting today!
