2022 was huge for the #FourthwallFam – we welcomed thousands of new creators to our platform, cheered them on as they found record success building thriving creative businesses, and launched new tools for them to engage their communities.

In 2023, we’re committed to making it easier than ever for creators to control their own destiny. That means ensuring Fourthwall is a creator’s best friend for building passive income, delighting supporters, and building the brand of their dreams. We have lots to do to make good on that promise, but here's where we’ll be most focused this year:

Flexibility

• More settings, more options, more integrations…more possibilities for you to create magic on your terms. From new Twitch Gifting features that let you decide how shipping is covered and redo unredeemed giveaways, to improved HTML and CSS customization, to more ways to connect to your favorite platforms, we’re expanding creator controls on Fourthwall.
• Earn passive income and reward your most loyal community members by adding a “members club” to your shop with Fourthwall Memberships. Members unlock exclusive perks, discounts, and access, and you unlock extra community love without the extra work.
• Want to take your membership offering to the next level? Your custom-branded members hub connects seamlessly to your shop and homepage, lets you set custom tiers and perks, and includes all the tools you need to create and share exclusive content so you can build and grow your community your way.

Delight

• Gifting has generated some of our favorite community moments ever – creators and supporters alike have used this feature to spread love, drive sales, and increase connection and belonging. We want to build on this by giving creators and supporters even more ways to drive hype, engagement, and happiness.
• There’s nothing quite like the feeling of dreaming up an idea and being able to see it brought to life before your eyes. We’re big believers in instant gratification, so we’ll be working to add even more instantly customizable options to our product catalog that you can see rendered in beautiful, high-quality photos. We’ll start with the most popular requests from our community, so it’ll be faster and easier to create and sell the products you love.
• Lots of hard work goes into building a great brand, but it’s our job to make the hard parts as painless as possible so you can focus on the fun stuff. That means providing more support on common blockers like designs, marketing, and product creation. Our goal: more creators saying “Wow, that was easy” more often.

Partnership

Creators are the beating heart of Fourthwall and the guiding purpose behind everything we do. That means that we’ll continue finding ways to work more closely with creators to grow, improve, and co-create the future of Fourthwall.

• Continuing to expand and refine our Partner & Affiliate programs
• Product feedback (feedback forum, beta groups, user research)
• Perks and benefits from trusted brands
• Keeping you in the loop and building community (Creator Hub, Discord, weekly Office Hours on twitch.tv/fourthwallhq, events, social media, challenges like #NewYearNewMerch, monthly newsletters)

We couldn't be more excited for the journey ahead, and for the opportunity to do it together with our creators. As always, we'll be rooting for your success and there to support at every step of the way.
