Earn from the community you built. Not from the reach they'll sell you back.
You did the work. You built the audience. Then the platform decided what they saw, throttled the signal, and handed you a bill to fix it. SocialPoints lets you charge your members directly — and keeps the algorithm out of it entirely.
Invite-only. No spam. Leave anytime.
Sound familiar?
Your revenue depends on an algorithm you don't control. One update, one policy change, one bad week in the A/B test and your reach collapses. You can't build a business on a number that resets whenever someone in a meeting decides it should.
You've been trained to perform, not to create. Thumbnails optimised for anxiety. Titles engineered for outrage. Posting schedules designed around the algorithm's appetite, not yours. You know it. You hate it. You keep doing it because stopping means disappearing.
The platforms that "support creators" take 30–50%. Patreon takes a cut. Substack takes a cut. Then Stripe takes a cut on top. You spend half your time on admin, and the rest optimising for a discovery algorithm you have no influence over.
Your community has no continuity. You built something real — a group of people who trust you, who show up. If you leave, get sick, burn out, or just want to step back — it all collapses. There is no structure to hand it to someone else.
SocialPoints builds the revenue model around the community, not the algorithm. Members pay you directly. The platform takes a modest, declining fee. No sponsored content. No performance anxiety. No reach throttling. The only variable is whether your community finds it worth paying for — and that one you actually control.
Imagine earning from a community that shows up because they chose to.
Not because the algorithm surfaced you this week. Not because you posted at the right time with the right thumbnail. Because you built something worth paying for — and your revenue reflects that, not a metric you don't control.
So we redesigned what a creator platform actually is.
Every decision starts from one question: does this put money in the creator's pocket because the community is good — or because the algorithm rewarded a performance?
Your members pay you directly
Recurring monthly or annual subscriptions, collected by Stripe, routed to your bank account automatically. No sponsorship negotiations. No brand deal approval chains. No algorithm.
↳ Stripe Connect — direct creator payouts
The fee is fair and it gets fairer as you grow
15% on your first £500/month. As your group grows past £500, £2,000, and £5,000, the rate steps down to 12%, 10%, and 8%. Payment processing is included.
↳ Declining platform fee
No algorithmic promotion — and no algorithmic suppression
Your paid group is not in search results. It doesn't get recommended. It doesn't get promoted. And it doesn't get throttled. You grow it the honest way: by building a free group worth converting to paid.
↳ Structurally isolated from discovery
Your community survives you
You designate a co-steward. If you get sick, burn out, or want to step back, there's a handover process built into the platform — a member vote, a 30-day transition, an elected successor. Your community doesn't collapse because you did.
↳ Stewardship succession protocol
Members who pay because it's worth it
No free-tier friction, no paywall dark patterns, no manufactured scarcity. Members join your paid group because it's worth the money. Members who believe that are the ones who stay — and who tell other people.
↳ Voluntary, transparent subscriptions
Quality in the free group converts to revenue in the paid one
The typical path: build a free group. High-quality discussions attract engaged members. Some want more. You launch the paid tier. The better your free group, the more naturally members convert. The platform's incentives push you toward quality — because quality converts.
↳ Free-to-paid group pairing
Accountability runs both ways
You can recall a bad steward. Members can propose changes through a formal vote. The governance structure that protects members is the same one that protects you — transparent, auditable, and not subject to platform whims.
↳ Member governance
Your content history stays with the community — not the person
Posts made under a creator role account are attributed at the time of posting. If ownership or stewardship changes, the content history stays with the community. No more "all our best posts disappeared when the founder left."
↳ Community content continuity

Platform fee on group revenue
Applied per group, per month. Payment processing included. Steps down as your group grows.
| Monthly group revenue | Platform fee |
|---|---|
| First £500 | 15% |
| £500 – £2,000 | 12% |
| £2,000 – £5,000 | 10% |
| Above £5,000 | 8% |
Your fee rate is locked in. Permanently.
The fee you see today is the most you will ever pay — for the lifetime of your group.
Every other creator platform has raised its take rate after lock-in. Patreon did it. Etsy did it. YouTube quietly does it through threshold changes. The pattern is consistent enough that rational creators treat any launch pricing as provisional — a number that will get worse once you're dependent on it.
We're making a different kind of commitment. The fee schedule active on the day you activate your paid group is permanently locked as your rate — for a minimum of five years, unconditionally.
fee = min(
your_locked_rate.apply(monthly_revenue),
current_rate.apply(monthly_revenue)
)
The lower of the two always wins — automatically, on every billing cycle, for as long as your group runs.
What happens if you need to step back.
The community doesn't collapse because you did.
Every paid group requires a co-steward — someone who takes over operational control if you can't continue. If you step down, get ill, or let your subscription lapse, a structured 30-day transition begins. Your members vote on the group's future. Revenue is held in escrow. No one loses their subscription without a refund.
If you're removed for a conduct violation, the same process applies — except escrowed revenue is forfeited to the platform rather than released to you. The community still continues. Members are still protected. Your history of posts remains attributed to the role, not deleted.
What early creators in the beta are saying.
Unedited. From people who've run paid communities in the closed beta.
“I've stopped checking my follower count. I check my member count instead. They're not the same metric.”

“My free group converts at about 12%. That's 12% of people who'd been getting it for free deciding it was worth paying for. I'll take that.”
