How do you get more paying subscribers AUTOMATICALLY?

The passive income beach dream is long debunked but occasionally you strike gold and this little automation is a GOLDMINE (*slimy salesman voice intended*).

I started using Buy Me a Coffee last year for my membership.

I noticed they had an option to automate a tweet anytime anyone pays me so I turned it on.

It looks like this:

Tweet showing the new member

Shout out Maliha for being a Legend!

Now, you might think this is annoying or too salesy or not humble enough or [insert excuse to avoid making money] but I’m here to let you know: IT. WORKS.

It has worked so well I set up a few more of these automations and they run on my Bluesky and X accounts.

How does it work? Anytime I get a new subscriber, Zapier sends it over to Bluesky and X as a new post. It’s surprisingly often someone will like the tweet and then make a contribution or become a subscriber. It’s a gift that keeps on giving. A little word of mouth multiplier.

This is a great automation to turn on during big promo or sale periods too. Really generate a sense of interest and activity around what you’re doing and make more fans aware that they CAN PAY YOU!

Want to try it? Read on for the recipe for this quick automation!
