The thought of this functionality has stricken FB thanks to the group admins who have requested for the same. For making original, intriguing content expenses are involved and to meet that an income is needed which will be provided by this new feature. Facebook Product Manager Alex Dave said that the funds coming out of the activity would help them create higher quality content.
Talking about how this feature will work, the group members will first be a part of a bigger free group. The admin can later send invitations to each group member for joining the subscription group in order to have access to the exclusive content. This invitation will contain information about the type of content as well as how much will the members be charged for each content. The charges for the first month will be deducted right at the time of accepting the invitation.
Sarah Mueller is already part of the initiative by Facebook and she plans to start video tutorials about cleaning and finishing houses on her subscription group Organise My Home. As of now, the Facebook is not charging the admins but in future, they may demand a share from the revenue.
