Buddy
Buddy for creators

You posted the launch three times. Your fans still missed it.

Posts reach whoever the algorithm picks and emails sit in promotions. On WhatsApp, launches and new episodes reach the fans who asked, get read in minutes, and the replies come to you.

For YouTubers, podcasters, writers, course creators and coaches

Launches: seats gone before the feed catches up

The fans who asked to hear first get the early seats on WhatsApp, and they reply "booked" instead of scrolling past.

New episodes
Read within the hour

New episodes: heard the morning they drop

Your every-episode listeners get the link the morning it goes live, read it before their commute ends, and tell you what landed while it is still fresh.

Community: every reply, one inbox, no DM hunt

Questions, yeses and broken links arrive sorted by what fans mean, and you answer in the same thread. No more digging through DMs on three apps after a launch.

Your fans don't ignore you. The algorithm hides you.

A post reaches whoever the algorithm picks that day. An email lands in a promotions tab nobody checks. The same fan opens WhatsApp dozens of times a day and replies in seconds.

You made the thing, and an algorithm decides who sees it.
Buyers, superfans and lurkers all get the same email, and most never open it.
Replies scattered across DMs on three apps, your inbox and your personal phone.
With Buddy, fans join from your bio or a QR, each message goes to the fans it's for, and every reply lands in one inbox.

From your bio to your fans' WhatsApp in three steps.

Add one link to your bio. Buddy does the rest while you make the next thing.

Fans join from your bio

A fan taps your link, picks what they want to hear about, and they're in. At a live show, the QR does the same job.

Sort fans by what they love

Tags turn into audiences: the workshop list, course buyers, every-episode listeners, fans gone quiet.

Plays you set once and leave running.

A launch that sells out from one list.

The fans who asked hear first, a reminder goes to anyone who hasn't replied, and the flow stops the moment they book.

Fans opt in from your bio and leave with one word. Buddy keeps both on record.

"Is there a replay?"Question

Every reply, sorted by what fans mean.

Interested, question, follow up, not now. Answer in the thread between takes.

Your list stays yours, whatever the platforms change next.

Every opt-in is recorded with where and when it happened: your bio link, a QR at a show, your website. One word from a fan stops every message, and that is recorded too.

Ask a question
Will fans find WhatsApp messages pushy?

Only fans who asked hear from you. They join from your link or QR, pick what they want to hear about, and leave with one word. A few messages they chose beat a dozen posts they never see.

Who owns the list?

You do. Every fan who joins is your subscriber, with their consent, source and tags recorded in Buddy, whatever any platform changes next.

How do fans join?

From your opt-in page, linked in your bio or anywhere you post; a QR code at live shows; a widget on your website; or an import of people who already said yes.

Can buyers and free followers get different messages?

Yes. Tag fans by what they joined for or bought, and send each WhatsApp message to the audience it's for. Course buyers get the next module; the workshop list gets the early seats.

What happens when a fan replies?

The reply lands in one inbox, sorted by what it means: interested, question, purchased, follow up, not now. You answer in the thread, or invite an editor or manager with their own role.

What does WhatsApp charge for these messages?

Meta charges for business messages by type and by the fan's country. Your Buddy plan is separate from that.

Your next launch, read by the fans who asked.

Join the waitlist and tell us what you make. We'll send back the plays that fit your work.
