Other fans see it's there but can't read it. ## Turn on subscriber-only mode The diamond icon in the compose bar is the toggle. Tap it (it's just to the right of the **+** button). The icon lights up and the compose bar gets a blue-teal outline. The mode stays on until you turn it off, so if you post three subscriber-only messages in a row, you only tap once. Subscriber-only mode turned on ## Send the message Send like any other Direct Line message. Text, photos, video, voice. All of it works. The post only reaches fans with an active subscription. ## What fans see Fans who haven't subscribed see the post is there, but it's blurred with a lock icon. They can tap it to see the option to subscribe. Locked subscriber-only post as a non-subscriber sees it Subscribers see every post unlocked. The blur and the lock are gone, and they read the post like any other. Direct Line as a subscriber, with everything unlocked ## Turn it back off Tap the diamond icon again. The outline disappears. Your next message goes to every member. ## When to use it * Early demos, unreleased snippets, work in progress. * Personal thank-yous or shout-outs to subscribers. * Anything that's too loose for everyone but too good to keep off Kollekt. ## Related * [Send a Direct Line message](/for-artists/your-space/sending-messages) * [How subscriptions and earnings work](/for-artists/earn/how-subscriptions-and-earnings-work)
