Podbean introduces brand new feature, Fan Club, for Podbean Live!

Fan Club is a group of your loyal fans in Podbean Live. You can earn more revenue with your Fan Club and boost engagement with them. You can earn money when listeners pay to join the fan club and they enjoy being part of the special group that supports you and the work you’re doing. Fan Club members can also gain various privileges, such as priority on the call-in list, a unique member label, special emojis, and a cool entry visual effect.
