Why hello.fan + store.fan is our pick

- Keep up to 70% on hello.fan when your page links to a store.fan shop on a paid plan.
- store.fan pays to your own Stripe; hello.fan pays out to your bank through Stripe from $100.

What's the best way to turn followers into income?
Followers give you attention, and attention turns into income when you offer something worth paying for. The two most direct offers are your time and your work.
- Your time: a 1:1 video call, voice call or chat on hello.fan, priced per minute.
- Your work: downloads, courses, coaching calls, webinars, memberships, paid communities or physical items on store.fan.
Offering both lets each follower pay in the way that suits them: a quick call, a single download or an ongoing membership. Someone who isn't ready to call might still buy a guide, and someone who bought a guide might want to talk it through.
We make both platforms, so this recommendation comes from us, not an outside reviewer. Our overviews of hello.fan and store.fan go deeper on each one.
How do hello.fan and store.fan work together?
They're made by the same company and built to link. Your store.fan page at store.fan/yourname can list your hello.fan page among its unlimited links, so one link in your bio leads to both your shop and your calls.
The link also pays. A creator whose store.fan shop is on a paid plan and links to their hello.fan page keeps 70% of what fans pay on hello.fan instead of 60%. Starter costs $24 a month at the launch price (regular $29) and also takes the store.fan platform fee to 0%.
- Fans who find you through a product can call you.
- Fans who call you can buy the product you mentioned.
- One link to share, one audience to grow.
