Everything you need to know about subscriptions
With Instagram subscriptions, subscribers pay a monthly fee to see exclusive content highlighted with a unique purple ring. They also get a subscriber badge next to their name so they can stand out in the comments and DMs. All at a price point that you set within the same platform where you interact with them already.

SUBSCRIPTIONS TIPS
Sharpen your Subscriptions game
Work out what makes you unique
Your fans love you for a reason, so focus on ideas that are uniquely you and can't easily be found elsewhere.
Recognise your subscribers
Show your subscribers some love! Reply to your subscriber comments when you see them, shout out new subscribers or do a weekly welcome for new subscribers in your lives.
Consistency is key
Make sure that you're offering a regularly scheduled cadence of exclusive content on a predictable schedule so subscribers know when to join and can plan ahead and don't miss out.
Be transparent
Explain up front what sort of things you plan to work on and how often they can be expected. Be clear about what you are creating, and make sure that you over communicate with your subscribers if you decide to change things around.
Build together
Talk about your creative process, show your subscribers work-in-progress ideas, ask for their feedback on projects and offer them the chance to feel closer to you as you're making content.
Do something special
Surprise your subscribers with a guest in your exclusive live or invite your most loyal subscribers to join you in a live room. Making your subscribers feel valued will encourage them to stick around.

Questions?
How will I get paid for my subscriptions?
Creators should expect to see their payouts for subscriptions on the 21st of the following month. This will align subscription payouts with all other User Pay product payouts.
For example, payouts for earnings in the month of March will be paid out on 21 April.
Is this product the same as Facebook Subscriptions?
While the Instagram and Facebook products currently offer some similar features (for example, subscriber lives), each platform separately offers unique features.
Can I change the price of my subscriptions after I’ve set it up?
You can change the price of your subscription and more within the subscriptions settings menu.
