Steady is a platform where people support independent publications — magazines, podcasts, newsletters, blogs and video — through a paid membership.
A membership is a simple way for readers, listeners and viewers to fund the media makers they value directly. In return, media makers earn reliable income and stay independent of advertising.
How Steady works depends on whether you support a publication or run one yourself:
If you’re a member
You’re supporting a publication you value with a regular membership. Your membership supports the media maker behind it, helping them keep doing their work independently.
Depending on the publication, your membership can also unlock benefits such as exclusive content or behind-the-scenes insights.
If you’re a media maker
Steady gives you everything you need to earn money directly from your audience through memberships:
Membership plans: set up and manage plans with benefits you choose for your supporters.
Flexible setup: add Steady to your own website or run it as a standalone page.
Analytics: track your growth and get to know your audience with built-in insights.
Secure payments: Steady handles payment processing, so transactions stay secure and hassle-free.
The result is a reliable income stream that doesn’t depend on traditional advertisers — while you stay connected with the people who support your work.
