# Content, Emotes, & Badges
How do I upload content for my subscribers?
You can add media to your library through three primary methods to ensure your content is always accessible:
* Directly to the Vault: Bulk-upload or prepare assets by navigating to Vault and selecting Add Media.
* Via New Posts: Upload new files from your device while drafting content for your feed by clicking the Add Media icon.
* Via Direct Messages (Chat): Share media privately in a chat by clicking the plus (+) icon and choosing files from your device.

How do I post content and send out mass messages?
To share content or reach your audience directly, use the New Post button located in the bottom-left corner of your screen. Depending on your goals, you can choose between creating a public feed post or sending a private mass message:
* To Create a Feed Post: Stay on the Post tab to share content to your profile feed. You can select your audience (Everyone, Followers, or VIPs), add text and media, and set access permissions such as Free, Pay to Unlock, or Subscribe to Unlock.
* To Send a Mass Message: Switch to the Message tab to reach specific groups directly in their inboxes. Select a target segment—such as Subscribers, Top Tippers, or VIPs—and compose your message with the same media and pricing options available for posts.

How do I create and manage custom emotes?
To create and manage custom emotes, navigate to the Creator Dashboard > Settings > Custom Emotes. Click Upload Emote, enter a short name, and upload a file between 32x32 and 500x500 pixels (max 512 KB). Once saved, you can set a Cover Emote to act as the primary icon for your emote pack in the subscriber tray.
Key Requirements:
* Limit: Maximum of 60 custom emotes.
* Formats: Supports .png, .jpg, .jpeg, or .gif.

How do subscriber badges work and how they evolve over time?
Subscriber badges are icons that appear next to a fan’s name to show how long they’ve been subscribed to you. They start with a **base** badge for new subscribers and then upgrade automatically at each time milestone you’ve configured (like 2 months, 6 months, 1 year, up to 10 years), so long‑term supporters display progressively more “advanced” badges that you upload for each tier.
For step‑by‑step instructions, see the full guide: [\[Subscribers Badge\]](https://clubcreators-inc.gitbook.io/clubcreator/~/revisions/LWsOtb1J14ghp73mb7P8/creator-hub/creator-tools/subscribers-badge).
How do I decide what content is free, subscriber-only or Locked?
Think of it as a simple ladder:
* **Free:** Content that introduces you and helps fans discover you (teasers, highlights, announcements) should usually stay free so new people can find and sample your work.
* **Subscriber‑only:** Put your core value here—consistent, ongoing content and access that rewards people who support you every month (full drops, behind‑the‑scenes, regular series, community access). This is what makes a subscription feel worth it.
* **Locked:** Reserve Locked content for high‑value, special, or very exclusive pieces (one‑off events, custom or highly produced sets, limited drops) that go above what subscribers normally get and can justify an extra charge.
A good rule: if it’s essential to the ongoing membership experience, make it subscriber‑only; if it’s a “big moment” or unusually premium, consider locked content; everything meant to attract new fans or show your style can be free.
Is there a limit on how much I can post?
No, there is no strict limit on how much you can post, and you won’t be penalized just for sharing content. However, we recommend focusing on quality over quantity. Posting a large number of videos at once can make it harder for each one to reach and engage the right audience. Spacing out your posts and sharing your best content tends to lead to a better experience for both you and your audience.
