The Asian Startup Factory, which started more than 2 years ago, provided a new idea to develop. It was to create a web application for subscribing to unique content. The main goal of the project was to allow influencers and celebrities to share their art with their fans and let them become active contributors to their beloved work by offering them a monthly membership. It was necessary to develop the platform in a limited number of iterations, so we started with MVP.

The main concept of this project is to provide a monthly subscription that gives access to exclusive content made by creators who usually don’t share it with the public and don’t post it anywhere. In addition to exclusive content, subscriptions offer extra benefits, such as community membership and access to behind-the-scenes creativity.

Furthermore, content creators can use the platform to sell a variety of material, such as monthly blogs, comics, illustrations, etc., as well as organize online meetings to pre-sell tickets. It’s also possible to communicate directly with creators through chat features and private messages.

There are many benefits to the product, but it is important to consider challenges which occurred during the development of the platform. Managing different subscription levels, ensuring the ability to upload exclusive content, and maintaining secure payment systems are significant challenges that needed for successful product development. However, with the proper planning and implementation of the product by the Corpsoft team, these challenges were overcome.

There are a number of key features and solutions that have made this product such a success:

This product offers a number of subscription levels so that users can select and follow for exclusive content from their favorite creators. Users can easily manage it by switching between different types of subscriptions and creators or canceling them completely, which increases user engagement and loyalty through personalized content consumption. 

Creators can upload different types of content, such as videos, photos, text, audio and links to resources. Material viewing can be regulated depending on subscription level, allowing only certain content available to specific followers. This feature improves the user experience and gives creators a highly targeted audience. There is also a live chat feature that allows creators to communicate with their audience, strengthening the relationship between creator and follower.

There is a flexible payment system that can be customized according to individual settings. Creators can receive automatic monthly payments from their balance via direct deposit, or customize payment options that fit their preferences. This flexibility and convenience level is beneficial for creators and improves the user experience.

However, the main feature of the project is the fast development circle from research and discussion to delivering completed product in time.

Generally, the development of this product allowed creators to share unique and exclusive content privately, while monetizing their creativity. The platform also offers users a personalized content consumption and increases user involvement and commitment. In addition, the live chat feature improves the relationship between creator and user. The flexible payment system benefits creators, as they can get paid in a convenient way.
