Message fans as soon as they're online

With Nudge, you can set up an always-on automated message that messages fans as soon as they come online.

Updated over a month ago

Fan's spend only about 5 minutes on OF (source), so it's critical to catch their attention straight away and start chatting.

1. Segment your audience

  1. Select which list you want to send the message to or use the smart filtering rules

  2. Add exclusion rules to avoid jeopardizing your active chats with misplaced or poorly timed automated messages:

Fans who have been sent any message

Exclude fans who have received a message from you within the last set days or hours.

For example: avoid sending a PPV campaign to a fan you’re chatting 1-on-1 with.

Fans who have already viewed the same material

Extend the shelf life of your PPV, while ensuring fans aren’t receiving the same material twice

Unread fans

Exclude fans who have responded to you, but you haven’t gotten to yet

Creator

Exclude other Creators.

Lists

Exclude members of specific OF lists

2. Set the rules

Chose to send the nudge immediately when they the fan comes online or after a delay. The delays are set at random intervals to humanize the automation.

3. Choose the frequency & scheduling

Decide whether to only send the Nudge once or every time the fan matches the trigger.

We recommend setting it to every time so the Nudge is sent every time a fan comes online.

In this case, add up-to 10 Collections to the message so the fan isn't receiving the same message over and over again. See below.

4. Build the message or sequence

  1. Add your message text. Use the {name} tag to personalize the message

  2. Include emojis or import a Script

  3. Add media from Vault Pro & set a PPV price

You can stop here or your can add up-to 5 more messages to the sequence.

For example, you can create a drip campaign by sending a teaser preview as the first message and if the fan doesn’t respond after 3 hours, send a second preview that’s a bit more revealing and so on.

Or, simply add pauses between messages to humanize the automation.

Collections

Think of a collection as different version of the message. The purpose is to make sure the fan isn't receiving the same message over and over again.

You can add up-to 10 collections to 1 Nudge.

When a message is triggered, 1 of the 10 will be picked and sent at random.

For example, you create the following 2 collections:

Collection

Message 1

Message 2

1

Welcome back, {name}!

I've missed you!

2

Hello {name}!

So glad to see you online! How are you sweetie?

Each time a fan comes online, they'll receive 1 of the 2 at random. So;

  • Monday: Welcome back, {name}! I've missed you!

  • Tuesday: Hello {name}! So glad to see you online! How are you sweetie?

Nudge is your most powerful asset in grabbing attention. We recommend setting up as many as possible.

Remember: Each collection is one nudge so focus on setting up as many collections as possible.

Auto-unsend settings

Unsend messages

Automatically withdraw free or locked messages within hours &/or minutes of the fan receiving it to avoid looking spammy. This will remove all messages in the sequence.

Stop message sequence

Once a fan responds, the sequence is broken and a chatter can step in (on by default).
