- Keep your email toolSend your newsletter the way you do today; we send the member emails. Export your paying members by plan as a CSV whenever you need the list.
How I plan a month of videos in one afternoon
Every month starts the same way: one list, one afternoon, and no camera. Here is the exact order I work in.
Moving paying members over
From Patreon, Substack, Circle or Skool, members subscribe again on your site. This order keeps it simple, and the founder helps you plan the timing.
- Set up firstYour plans, premium posts and groups are ready before anyone arrives.
- Invite by emailPaste their addresses into Studio, with a note from you.
- Cover what they paid forGive access in Studio until their old period ends, so nobody loses a day.
- Stop the old billingStop subscriptions on the old platform when you switch, so nobody pays twice.
From WordPress or BuddyBoss, our importer moves your members, and paying members keep the access they paid for until it ends. How that works →

Paid memberships, answered
How do I bring in a large list of free readers?
Put your community link in your newsletter or your videos, and readers join free themselves. You can also invite people by email from Studio, with a short note from you.
How do members cancel?
Any time, from their billing page. Their access runs to the end of the period they paid for, with a reminder the day before it ends.
What does it cost, and what do you take from my sales?
0% of your sales; Stripe's normal fees apply. Plans from $49/mo, billed annually, after a 14-day free trial with no card. Ask within 30 days of your first payment and we refund it in full. After that, cancel anytime. See pricing.
