Private Chats

Private Chats are a tool for paid communication with your audience inside Tribute. This feature allows creators to have one-on-one conversations with users and use them as a separate monetization format.

A chat with a creator can be used for:

• personal feedback or reviews

• answering audience questions

• a premium subscription tier where users can ask the creator a set number of questions

• private consultations

Chat Scenarios

1. Paid message for everyone Any user can message the creator via a link, but they must pay before sending the message.

2. Free message → paid reply A user can send a message for free, and the creator can reply with a paid message.

The reply can include additional materials, such as:
