How do I offer exclusive stories?

Exclusive Stories are available to Vocal+ members with Stripe connected. Enable them in Settings and publish from the editor.

Written by Vocal Team

Exclusive Stories let Vocal+ creators earn from paid subscriptions to premium content on their author page.

Requirements

  • Active Vocal+ membership

  • Stripe connected in your Wallet

Get set up

  1. Confirm Vocal+ is active on your account

  2. Connect Stripe if you haven't already

  3. Open Settings - Exclusive Stories are on by default. Turn them off here if you don't want to offer paid subscriptions

Publish exclusive content

  1. Write your story in the editor

  2. At publish time, select Exclusive Story (not a community submission)

  3. Your story goes live instantly on your author page for paid subscribers

Subscription earnings accumulate in your Wallet. Track subscribers in your Stats.

If you turn off exclusive stories

If you disable Exclusive Stories or cancel Vocal+, your paid subscribers lose access to your exclusive content and you stop earning from those subscriptions.

See What are exclusive stories? for the full overview, or Vocal's product announcement for details.
