There are many different ways to promote your Tribe for growth on MyMiniFactory
Your Tribes Page
When trying to grow your Tribe, it is best to start with the Basics. Ensuring your Tribes page is well populated and high quality.
Answer these simple questions
- Is your currently monthly release shown clearly on the page?
- How many miniatures or STLs are included?
- Is any additional content like PDFs clearly displayed?
- Do you have high quality renders or, even better, printed and painted images of the models shown on the page?
- Is your current release themed/ named?
The name, Hunters of Shadowvale, will have more impact than February release 2023
- are you making full use of the Tribes posting tool, to regularly communicate with your Tribers?
These are just a few questions, but having them addressed on your Tribes Page will go a long way to improving your conversion.
Earlybird Tiers
If you have just started your Tribe, offering exclusive discounts for your first Tribers can be a real hook. New Creators will often create Earlybirds for their first 50 - 200 Tribers.
To learn how to set up your Earlybird Tier, read Setting up your Tribe - Tiers. >
TOP TIP: Earlybird Tiers should be around 20% of your subscriber goal for your first few months. If you set the seat limit too high, you will lose the fear of missing out!
Tribes Free Trials 
Tribes Trials are a brilliant marketing tool that allows you to distribute free access to your Tribe for one month. This allows MyMiniFactory users to try out your Tribe and encourages them to become full Tribers after the Trial period expires.

Encourage your Patreon supporters to join your Tribe
If you already have a Patreon set up, an effective strategy can be to reach out to your Patreon subscribers to transfer their subscription to your Tribe. This can be a quick way to get a big boost, get your Tribe off the ground and create a snowball effect bringing in more Tribers.
Offer Miniatures on The Adventure
