It's not uncommon for influencers and creators operating in the social media space to go about charging their followers for access to special and premium content that's not made widely available to the masses, but the fact of the matter is there exists no streamlined platform within which influencers and their fans can carry out these particular transactions, which is precisely the problem that the new 'Roll' influencer monetization app is looking to solve.
The 'Roll' app, which is available for iOS and Android, makes it possible for creators to make money while connecting with their fans in a more streamlined manner. Specifically, the app allows influencers to set up a camera roll so that followers can access more authentic images than those that are carefully curated on Instagram and other platforms.
With creators able to charge monthly subscriptions between $5 and $50 whilst being able to keep 80 percent of all earnings, this influencer monetization app aims to help creators get more out of their content.
