Imagine this. You continue to share your work with your community of followers. But there are followers and f o l l o w e r s, right? You’ve known some of them for years. They’ve been with you through several seasons/rebrands/iterations of your blog (and your ~self~). Hell, they even know your real name!

Well, we’re excited to tell you that if you’re in the US, you can now offer those fans a little more. Diehard fans and new audiences across the globe can support your supreme creations for as little as $1.99—right from the comfort of their dash. This means more jokes, more marine biology memes, more sporadic sticker stock updates. Mash up all the media in one place with flexible and easy-to-use tools—image, music, text? Our editor has ‘em all. And there’s no minimum follower count or posting quotas to meet—if you make stuff people like, you’re in. TL;DR: We’re opening up Post+ beta to blog owners in the US today (and to the rest of the planet soon. Promise!).

Now, your unique GIF-illustration-poem-shitposts are earning you actual $$$. You start working that coffee shop job a little less. You design more bonsai tree stickers. Your fans love it. You love it. Imagine it.

For fans: Wherever you are in the world, support your favorite US creators on Tumblr from the comfort of, well, Tumblr. That’s right, get your favorite content first. Or more of it. Or simply a little somethin’ more deeply tailored to your tastes.

For improvements: Post+ is still in beta, which means it’s still evolving to suit your needs. Some improvements we’ve made based on your feedback:

• Additional price points —> 1.99, 3.99, 5.99, 9.99 USD
• Content from your archives can become +posts.
• Easier blocking without contacting support.
• No more Post+ avatar badges.

We love hearing from you, and the best way for us to know what you want is for you to tell us about it, so please keep telling us ^-^ Over on WIP. Or via a support ticket. And come check out these FAQs, or find out How to Get Started.

It’s all yours, always. Take it away, Tumblr.

Post+ has gone international! Starting today, Post+ is expanding open beta to include international creators in select territories, bringing fans closer to their favorite content, starting at as little as $1.99 a month.

For creators: You can now share bonus content—your newest sewing patterns, daily witchy intuitions, favorite headcanons, all things frog-centric—with supporters from anywhere in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Spain, and the UK! Giving your fans what they want directly on their dash is what Post+ is all about.

For supporters: Excited to see what all your favorite international creators have in store for you? Post+ is still in open beta, so price points are in USD for now, and some charges may apply.

And, for those of you on mobile: You can now sign up to Post+ on the go with our new mobile onboarding.

Questions? We’ve got you: Check out our general FAQs, our guides for creators and supporters, or hit us up directly on WIP.

Get started here—we can’t wait to see what you make of it!

So you heard that we’ve opened up Post+ beta to US blog owners and creators (with the rest of the planet to follow soon), and maybe you’re wondering what that might look like for you. Here are 5 easy steps you can take to get from your current state of Post+lessness to your best Post+ self. It’s basically the same as our “Get Started” page, but here, now, in post-form, before your very eyes:

1. On desktop, navigate to the account menu by clicking the snowman in the top right and selecting “Post+” from the drop-down menu.
2. Set up your Post+ creator profile in minutes: Write a short introduction to your blog, set your +post prices and perks, and add your payment details.
3. Click “Activate Post+,” and you’re all set!
4. Now, you can turn any post you create into a +post: Draft a teaser that is viewable to everyone and tuck away any bonus content for your supporters below the fold. You can also transform old posts from your archives into +posts by clicking edit and toggling from “Anyone” to “Supporters Only,” just as you would on a new post, before filling in the teaser.
5. Your post will always be public on the Tumblr dashboard, but only your supporters will be able to access what’s below the fold.

That’s all for now. If you have questions or feedback for us, you have a couple of options. Either head over to our FAQ, with its quick and easy support button for sharing feedback and asking questions. Or come talk to us via our Ask box over on @wip (open weekly on Mondays, 9 a.m. to 6 a.m. Eastern).
