💬 Offering Free Direct Messaging to a Specific Community

Want your biggest fans, your inner circle, or one special group to be able to DM you directly, for free?! 🙌 You don't need a paid membership tier for that at all! With WithMe, you can unlock free DMs for just the community you choose, using a free custom product. Let's get you set up! 🚀

🤔 Why Would I Do This?

Maybe you've got a super engaged community that deserves a direct line to you, but you don't want to gate it behind a paid tier. Maybe you just want to reward a specific group with easy access. Either way, this trick makes it happen without a complicated setup, just a genuinely free way to open your DMs to the right people! 🎉

🛠️ How to Set It Up

  1. Create a brand new custom product from your creator dashboard.

  2. Set the product to free. Totally free. 💸➡️0️⃣

  3. Turn ON the direct message feature for this product. This is the magic switch that lets people DM you once they've claimed it!

  4. Restrict the product so it's only available within the specific community you want to reward, this keeps it exclusive to the right people.

And that's it, seriously! ✨ Once it's live, members of that community can claim the product and DM you for free, without needing a paid membership tier at all.

✅ Why This Works So Well

This is a fantastic way to give a specific, targeted group direct access to you without forcing them into a paid membership. It keeps things simple for you and feels like a genuine perk for them! Whether it's your top supporters, a private community, or just a group you want to build closer relationships with, this setup lets you open the door, on your terms. 🔑

❓ Quick FAQ
