Why a fan club
Fans want a closer circle, not just more content
A fan club works when membership itself is the value: a private space where fans talk directly with you and each other, get updates first, and feel part of something exclusive. Telegram is the natural home because your fans already use it — no new app to install, no new profile to set up.
Exclusive access sells itself
The private group is the reward. Members join through a paid link and stay because the community is real.
Direct creator connection
DMs, Q&As, and member-only posts keep the relationship personal without you answering the same question in public threads.
Recurring support
Subscriptions turn one-time supporters into an audience that funds your work month after month.
Setup
From audience to paid fan club in minutes
Open the Groupy bot, connect your Telegram group, set your plans, and publish one paid link. There is no code, no custom bot to maintain, and no payment gateway account to apply for. The link explains the offer, takes payment, and moves members into your private group automatically.
One link for the whole flow
Share it on X, Instagram, YouTube, your site, or in DMs. The link handles payment and access from one place.
Private group stays private
Members enter through controlled invites, not a forwardable public link.
Works worldwide
Crypto payments reach fans in any country without banking approvals or currency friction.
Membership models
Choose the fan club model that fits your audience
Different creators monetize fan clubs differently. Pick the model that matches how you create and how often your audience expects updates, and change plans later if needed.
Monthly subscription
Recurring access for creators who post regularly — signals, updates, behind-the-scenes, or community discussion.
Lifetime membership
One payment for permanent access — good for archives, courses, or a founding-member tier.
Trial first, then convert
Let fans try the club for a short period so they feel the value before committing.

Telegram fan club FAQ
Do I need my own bot to run a fan club?
No. Groupy is the official bot — you configure plans and share a link. No BotFather setup, no server, no code.
How do members pay?
Members pay in USDC/USDT (US$), JPYC (JP¥), or EURC (€). Coinbase Onramp lets fans without a wallet pay by card or bank transfer.
Can fans cancel their subscription?
Yes. When a subscription ends and is not renewed, Groupy automatically removes the member from the group — no manual cleanup.
Is the group private?
Yes. The paid access group stays private and members join through controlled invite links issued after payment.
Can I mix free and paid members?
Your public channel stays free for marketing; the paid fan club group is where paying members get access.
What if fans can't pay with crypto?
Coinbase Onramp lets members pay with a debit card or bank transfer and converts it to the required stablecoin automatically.
Which platforms work with Groupy?
Groupy runs inside Telegram, so fans can join from any device where Telegram is installed — no separate app required.
