How to Make a Fanvue Free Trial Link (Step by Step)

To make a free trial link on Fanvue, open Creator Tools, go to Tracking Links and select "Create new free trial link". You choose how many times the link can be used, when it expires and how long the trial lasts. Then you share it. Below are the steps, a related setting worth knowing about, and how to decide whether a trial is the right offer for you.

A quick heads-up. As of September 2026, Fanvue's help centre shows older paths for making these links, so follow the app. The steps here match the current Fanvue app, checked in September 2026.

💜01. What a free trial link does

A free trial link gives people limited-time access to your subscriber content, free for the length of the trial. Fanvue's help centre says you can set the number of uses and the length of the trial, and that the links are useful for promotions and campaigns.

Each link is unique. Fanvue describes them as a way to support specific promotions, campaigns or funnels, and to target different audiences and measure how a campaign does. So think one link per idea, not one link for everything.

A trial is not the same as Follow for Free. Following lets fans follow you without subscribing, and Fanvue's help centre says followers can't see content that's only for subscribers. A trial gives a fan a real taste of the subscription itself.

💜02. How to create a free trial link, step by step

Step 1: In Fanvue, open Creator Tools and go to Tracking Links.

Step 2: Select "Create new free trial link".

Step 3: Choose how many times the link can be used, when it will expire and how long the trial lasts.

Step 4: Select "Create free trial link" when you're happy with your choices, then copy the link. Fanvue's help centre says the link is live as soon as it's made, ready to share.

Keep a simple note of where each link goes, like the platform or campaign it's for. Fanvue describes Tracking Links, the section these links live in, as a way to see which of your promotional efforts, from social posts to email campaigns, bring traffic and conversions to your page. Later, you'll want to know which link brought in which fans.

One related setting sits under Subscription Settings: Free Trials Without a Payment Method. Fanvue's help centre describes it as the option that lets fans redeem a free trial to your page.

The help centre also notes that this toggle is different from the Follow for Free button on your profile. It doesn't say more than that, so look at the toggle in your own app and decide whether you want it on.

💜03. When a free trial is the right offer

Free trials are good at one job: getting people through the door. Fanvue's promotions guide says free trials and free trial links bring in traffic rather than keep fans. It says about 1 in 4 of those fans stick around past 90 days, and that they typically spend around 5x less over their lifetime than paying subscribers.

So use a trial when your goal is reach, and give each link a clear job. The same guide says to expect only a minority of trial fans to stay long-term, and to plan for that from the start. The use limit and the expiry date on each link help you keep it aimed at one campaign.

A trial link isn't the only kind of offer: Fanvue also lets you run promotional offers from your profile, like a free trial or a cheaper first month for all fans or a narrower group, plus discounted bundles for longer subscriptions. Its promotions guide suggests announcing a new offer with a mass message.

💜04. Turn trial fans into subscribers

Fanvue sorts trial fans into a list of their own, Free Trial Subscribers, and its messaging guide suggests messaging that list before their trials end.

Be clear about what happens next. Fanvue's help centre tells fans that a trial they don't cancel becomes a paid subscription at the creator's standard price, billed on the day the trial runs out, and that the pop-up shows the renewal amount when they subscribe. From then on it's billed in 30-day cycles and renews automatically until the fan cancels. Make your page worth that renewal.

The same article tells fans to cancel before their trial end date if they don't want to be charged, and points them to Settings → Payments & Subscriptions → Manage My Subscriptions to find that date.

Say hi to new trial fans, too. Fanvue's first-week guide keeps selling for later and suggests a friendly first message that finishes with a question.

💜05. Get listed free on FreeVues

One more link worth making: while you set up a FreeVues listing, you can add your own Fanvue tracking link named "FreeVues". Clicks and subscribers that come from FreeVues then show up on your Fanvue dashboard, and your FreeVues dashboard keeps a click count of its own.

Listing yourself is free. One tap connects your Fanvue account, and within a minute your card is ready, drawn from your public Fanvue profile. FreeVues runs independently, with no affiliation to Fanvue.

A trial link only works if people see it. Fanvue's own link-in-bio guide says fans need to actually find you before promotions matter, and a directory listing is one more place they can.

💜06. One honest tip

A free trial link is a door, not a plan. Make one for each campaign, give it an end date, and have your welcome message and your next few posts ready before you share it. The trial gets people in. What they find inside decides whether they stay.
