Applying for Raptive Community starts with one simple step: sharing a link to where your fans already connect with you. From there, the application helps turn what you’ve already built into a starting vision for your Raptive Community.
1. Show Us Where Your Fans Find You
You’ll start the application process by sharing a link to the website or social media account where your audience is most active. Your social media link could be Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X/Twitter, or Substack.
2. Create Your Raptive Community Creator Profile
Next, create a Raptive Community profile or log in to an existing one. You can sign in with Gmail or use a different email address.
If you already have a profile, select Log in at the bottom of the page to connect it to your application. If you’re a Raptive creator, be sure to use the email address associated with your Raptive dashboard.
To create a profile, you’ll need:
- Email address
- Preferred username
- Display name
- Password
After you select Join Now, we’ll send an activation code to your email. Once your account is verified, you’ll return to the application to continue.
3. Confirm your audience
Once your account is verified, review the social channels connected to your application. Make sure everything looks accurate, and add or update any accounts you’d like us to consider.
When you’re ready, select Looks Good to continue.
4. Choose the experience you want to create for your community
Every Raptive Community offers something a little different. In this step, you’ll choose the value statements that best reflect the kind of experience you want to create for your members.
We’ll preselect a few options based on your brand and audience, but you can update them to match your vision. Options may include:
- Exclusive Access: Early access, behind-the-scenes content, exclusive resources, or a voice in what you create next.
- Shared Action: Challenges, accountability, or shared progress.
- Inner Circle: Live moments, feedback, member recognition, or Q&As.
- Member Belonging: A place for fans to connect around shared interests, experiences, or identity.
- Community Wisdom: Tips, trusted recommendations, advice, and lessons from the group.
Select at least one option to continue.
5. Preview of Your Raptive Community
Using your linked accounts and selected value statements, we’ll create a preview of your Raptive Community. At this step, you’ll be able to review and refine:
- Your Community name
- A description of your community
- Your branded logos
- A community accent color
Most of these details can be updated after you apply, but your Community name cannot be changed once you submit your application. Choose your name carefully. You can refine your branding and other details later through Creator Tools.
6. Verify and Submit Your Application
The last step before submitting your application is to verify your identity.
After verifying your identity, review and accept Raptive’s Creator Agreement to submit your application. Congratulations, you're now one step closer to a deeper relationship with your audience.
