Well, to put it simply, it&#8217;s a chat where you can add an entrance fee or subscription fee. This will help you monetize your social chat.<\/p>\n<p>We offer two option for paid access. It&#8217;s either you put a time limit&nbsp;on your chat duration (a user can access for&nbsp;X minutes) or you may create a <a href=\"https:\/\/rumbletalk.com\/members-chat\/\">membership chat<\/a> (paid monthly or yearly to gain access to your chat). The latest one is the one that we will be elaborating.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What is a membership chat?<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20190125065754\/pay.gif\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5143 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20190125065754\/pay.gif\" alt=\"paid access\" width=\"539\" height=\"457\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/mpe\/2013\/231826\/\">study<\/a> in 2013 by Zhang et al, &#8220;<em>the online group chat is a small-scale multiuser social networking platform, in which users participate in the discussions and send and receive information<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Why don&#8217;t you use that to your advantage? Learning from the above study, a group chat is a must for any website.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Today, we&#8217;re tackling membership chat so let&#8217;s focus on that. You can do it in two ways:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Monthly subscription<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Annually subscription&nbsp;<\/strong>&#8211; Set a discounted price for the annual membership. You can hook in a lot of customers with this tactic. Another plus is that you can have more members in no time.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This means you can charge your users for a recurring fee for a month or a yearly fee. Usually, you can persuade users on using a membership chat by lowering the fees for the annual membership. They will see this as a discount and a saving.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Still, you will be earning your share! If you want to know how to do it, I&#8217;ll show you in the next section.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>How do you activate membership chat?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<p>For starters, we have different types of chats. These are the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Group chat&nbsp;<\/strong>&#8211; with free access and great for communities;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Paid group chat&nbsp;<\/strong>&#8211; with an entrance fee, great for membership chat (which we are discussing);<\/li>\n<li><strong>Expert&#8217;s chat&nbsp;<\/strong>&#8211; focused on professionals to have a platform to share their abilities;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Paid expert&#8217;s chat&nbsp;<\/strong>&#8211; for one-on-one paid interactions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The difference between group chat and expert&#8217;s chat is group chat is great for groups (of course), whereas expert&#8217;s chat is great for one-on-one interactions, just like private messaging.<\/p>\n<p>The ones with the &#8220;paid&#8221; ones are what we call membership chat. These are the ones with paid access. Let me show you.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>First, choose from paid group chat or paid expert&#8217;s chat.<a href=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20190612030614\/paidexpertschat1.gif\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6934 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20190612030614\/paidexpertschat1.gif\" alt=\"online tutoring\" width=\"488\" height=\"364\"><\/a><\/li>\n<li>This activates the paywall option, which means your chat now has paid access.<a href=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20190211033240\/monetize_settings-2.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5237 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20190211033240\/monetize_settings-2.png\" alt=\"monetize settings\" width=\"682\" height=\"539\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20190211033240\/monetize_settings-2.png 682w, https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20190211033240\/monetize_settings-2-300x237.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>For your chat to become a membership chat, decide on a fee for your chat. Then, choose whether users pay monthly or annually.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20190124093159\/subscription.gif\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5107 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20190124093159\/subscription.gif\" alt=\"membership chat\" width=\"515\" height=\"488\"><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>It&#8217;s as simple as that!
