Publishing Posts

Posts modulePublish text, image, video, audio, or poll posts — public, members-only, or locked to a specific tier.

A predictable cadence beats sporadic bursts. Keep some posts public so visitors get a taste before they commit.

Use Posts in the Manage Portal to publish content for your community. Posts can be public, members-only, or locked to a specific tier.

Before You Start​

Posts must be enabled for your community.

  1. Open Settings > Modules.
  2. Turn on Posts.
  3. Save.

Post Types​

TypeUse it for
TextLong-form updates, announcements, deep-dives. Markdown supported.
ImageSingle-image or multi-image posts (uploaded images are auto-optimised to WebP).
VideoNative-hosted video using PayBru's content library.
AudioPodcast episodes, voice notes, or audio drops.
PollMultiple-choice questions for members.

You can also feature posts on the Home tab and add them to Playlists for grouping.

Set the Title and Preview​

  • Title — clear, concrete, and specific to what's inside.
  • Preview text — a short hook that shows on the home tab and on the post card.

Add the Content​

  • The rich text editor includes a Markdown toolbar for headings, lists, links, and inline formatting.
  • Drop in images, videos, or audio inline.
  • For a tier-locked post, members on lower tiers see a teaser with a lock icon prompting them to upgrade.

Set Access​

Choose who can see the post:

AccessWho sees it
PublicAnyone, even people who aren't logged in. Good for announcements, previews, and SEO.
Members-onlyAny member of your community, free or paid.
Tier-specificOnly members on the tier you choose (or higher tiers, if your wizard supports it).

Publish or Save​

  • Save as draft if you want to come back to it.
  • Publish now to push it live.
  • Schedule for later if your wizard supports it.

Keep the Feed Organised​

  • Filter the post list by format or publishing state to find drafts vs published.
  • Use playlists to group related posts (a video series, a course, a topic).
  • Mark a post as Featured to pin it on the home tab — but use this sparingly so it stays noticed.

Tips​

  • Lead with the most valuable thing — the first 1-2 sentences decide whether members keep reading.
  • Cadence beats perfection — a steady weekly post is worth more than three perfect posts a year.
  • Use polls to learn what members actually want.
  • Re-share to socials — public posts can pull new sign-ups.
