The Crew · creator memberships

Turn superfans into recurring income.

The Crew is your membership on Helm, the interest media platform where you actually own your audience. Fans join your Crew, unlock the work you make just for them, and the subscription revenue goes to you. Not to an ad network, not to a middleman. You.

Why start a Crew

Fans become members.

⚓

Recurring revenue you own

Your Crew subscribes to you, and the subscription revenue goes to the creator. Not a brand deal that ends, not reach you rent back, income from people who chose you.

🔒

A members-only home

Reward your Crew with posts, Stash, and Live streams made just for them. The inside version of your work lives behind one door only your members can open.

◎

Badges fans wear proudly

Every Crew member gets a member badge and a profile ring, so your closest supporters are recognized everywhere they show up, in chat, in comments, on their profile.

Members-only posts & Stash

Made just for them.

Give your Crew the version of you nobody else gets. Mark any post or Stash entry members-only, quotes, takeaways, mini-essays, behind the scenes, and it goes straight to the people who back you.

  • Members-only posts your Crew sees first and only
  • Members-only Stash: quotes, takeaways, and mini-essays
  • One toggle at post time, no separate app to manage

Crew questions

Good to know.

What is The Crew on Helm?
The Crew is Helm's creator membership program. Fans join a creator's Crew and get a member badge, a profile ring, and access to members-only posts, Stash, and Live streams, and the subscription revenue goes to the creator.
What do Crew members get?
Crew members get members-only posts and Stash, members-only Live streams, a member badge next to their name, and a profile ring that marks them as a member across Helm.
How do creators get paid from The Crew?
Crew subscription revenue goes to the creator. It pairs with virtual gifts on Live, and everything cashes out through Stripe Connect with automatic weekly payouts, so membership income arrives on a schedule without invoices.
What is interest media?
Interest media is social media you actually own. On Helm you pick your interests, the feed follows what you love, and creators reach people who chose their topic. You own your audience, you control your feed, and there are no ads and no data sales, which is why memberships like The Crew belong to the creator, not the platform.
