  • FanCentro Feed.[15] The Feed is an active newsfeed where influencers can post text, audio, photo, or video content. Feed content may be public (SFW) or locked. Users must subscribe for full Feed access. Feed posts scheduling allows preset content to post at a later date.
  • Tips. Users may tip influencers in one of two ways: via the influencer’s personal tip link or through the DM feature.
  • Clips.[16] Clips allows influencers to sell video clips directly on their FanCentro page. A paid subscription is not required for users to purchase a clip.
