Discord, a communication tool, allows users who have been invited to set up a 'server' to have text chats and make phone calls. As a way to monetize this server, Discord is testing a new feature called Premium Membership.
It seems that members of the premium membership will be able to view the original content posted by the creator and communicate with the members participating in the server. Premium membership is test-provided for about 10 creators at the time of article creation, and the actual screen is as follows. You can see that premium membership allows you to get different rewards for different price ranges set by the creator.
'We expect Discord to become the home of more creators and communities through features such as premium membership,' said Sume et Vaidya, Discord's engineering director. 'A tool that allows community creators to make money.' By providing, more creators will be able to run a community with healthy engagement over time, 'said Discord's premium membership to help run a creator-led community.
Discord already offers a service that offers benefits and privileges to subscribers on other platforms such as Patreon, YouTube and Twitch, but premium membership is entirely Discord's original monetization feature. Discord has a 1 to 9 revenue distribution with creators, so creators can get 90% of their sales.
Vaidya said, 'We want creators to make as much money as possible, and at the same time, if creators succeed, Discord also wants to make some money and we want to succeed together. I think it's the best number we can think of to ensure long-term success for both parties. '
However, it's not clear what the revenue distribution will be if users are using Discord's premium membership via the mobile app. At the time of writing the article, Discord has enabled premium membership only on the desktop version and browser version.
In addition, the benefits obtained by joining Discord's premium membership are completely entrusted to the creator who operates the server, and the content in the server that the subscriber can access can be freely set by the creator. 'Premium membership is one of the most requested features of creators. (Premium membership) is something that many creators already do through third-party services, but now they can do it natively on Discord. This is the first time for me to become. '
