How do Share Stats work?

What are Share Stats?



Share Stats help creators track and monitor community and revenue growth from posts shared on other platforms. Share Stats work with the Share feature available on all posts and tracks the views, member sign-ups and supporters that result when an external user clicks on a shared post. Visitor data and actions are stored in the Share Stats in the Creator Admin Panel under Share -> Stats

What do people see when they click on a shared post?



When a user clicks on your shared post on another platform, they are brought to an external Share Page of Locals. On this page they can see free videos and posts related your community without having to login to Locals.

Because users can see additional content on the Share Page, subscriber only posts work well to share too!




How can visitors become members of my community?



On the Share Page, visitors can click "Learn More" to log-in, sign-up, or give support to your community.


How is the Share Page related to the Share Stats?



When a visitor views your Share Page from clicking on a post shared on another platform, that visit is collected in the Share Stats. If they become a new member or give support to your community within 7 days of viewing your post, that sign-up, support and / or revenue generated is collected in the Share Stats page.


Are members' shares tracked in the Share Stats, or just those made by the Creator and Team?



Share Stats track all shares made by any paid supporter in your community and are easily segmented between "Creator and Team" and "Supporters." You can separately see the Share Stats for posts done by supporters of the community and those done by you and your team.

Share Stats are a great way to track who is sharing your content and what content is most successful in brining in new members and supporters into your community.

What data is available on the Share Stats page exactly?
