![Whiteboard-style illustration showing subscription cycle and prompt marketplace revenue streams](https://aivoyagerimages.blob.core.windows.net/blog-images/promptbase-select-subscription-illustration.png) On February 25th, PromptBase introduces a subscription model designed to help creators earn from prompts that get views but rarely convert to sales.[1] PromptBase Select is an optional revenue stream that sits alongside the existing marketplace. Individual sales, pricing, and fees remain unchanged. Creators choose which prompts are included, and buyers pay a monthly subscription for downloads instead of purchasing prompts one at a time. This post explains how Select works, what changes (and what does not), and how to configure your settings before launch. ## What Is PromptBase Select PromptBase Select is a subscription service where buyers pay $14/month (annual) or $19/month (monthly) for 10 downloads per month. Creators earn $1.00 each time a subscriber downloads one of their Select-eligible prompts.[1] Key facts: - Buyers subscribe once and download up to 10 Select prompts per month - Creators earn $1.00 per Select download - Prompts included in Select display a Select infinity icon badge on their thumbnail - Select prompts can still be purchased individually at full price - Creators control which prompts are included through global rules or individual overrides - Select launches to buyers on February 25th ### Source PromptBase Blog: Introducing PromptBase Select [1] ## How It Works for Creators You choose which prompts are part of Select. Prompts included in Select display a Select infinity icon on their marketplace thumbnail, letting buyers know they can download it with their subscription.[1] When a buyer downloads one of your prompts via their Select subscription, you earn $1.00. This appears as a sale in your Sales dashboard, marked with a purple Select chip so you can easily identify it.[1] ### Managing Select Eligibility There are two ways to control which prompts are included:[1] **Global rules** — In your account settings, set a rule that automatically includes prompts based on age, price, and last sale date. For example, include all prompts older than 90 days priced under $3.99 with no sales in the past 180 days. You can also opt out entirely. **Individual overrides** — On each prompt, override the global rule. If your global rule includes all prompts older than 60 days, but you want to exclude a specific prompt, you can. And vice versa: include a specific prompt even if your global rule would otherwise exclude it. ### Default Setting To make it easy to get started, the default setting for all sellers includes prompts older than 60 days, priced $6.99 or less, with no sales in the past 60 days. You have until February 25th to change this to whatever works best for you before Select goes live.[1] ## What Does Not Change Your existing marketplace operations remain unchanged:[1] - Individual prompt sales continue at your own prices - Marketplace fees for individual sales stay exactly the same - Payouts continue on your usual cycle - You choose which prompts are part of Select and can opt out at any time - Select prompts can always be purchased individually at full price Select is an additional revenue channel, not a replacement for individual sales.[1] ## Why Select Matters for Creators Most creators have prompts that get views but do not convert into individual sales as often. Select turns those prompts into new revenue that did not exist before.[1] For example, if you have 30 prompts in Select and each gets just a handful of downloads per month, that could be an extra $30 to $50 per month in revenue from prompts that were otherwise sitting idle.[1] A big point of friction for buyers on PromptBase is having to do individual purchases for each prompt they want to use. Select gives them a way to easily subscribe once, download more of your prompts, and transfer more value to you as a creator.[1] ## Who Benefits Most from Select Select is designed to attract agencies, heavy users, and power buyers who need dozens of prompts per month. These buyers are currently browsing PromptBase but not purchasing individually. Select gives them a way to buy, and that revenue goes to you.[1] Your individual sales continue as normal alongside Select. Buyers who want a specific prompt can still purchase it at full price at any time.[1] ## Timeline and Configuration **Today** — Your Select settings are live. You can head to your account settings right now to configure which prompts are included, adjust your global rules, or opt out entirely. No Select downloads will happen yet.[1] **February 25th** — Select launches to buyers. This is when subscribers can start downloading Select-eligible prompts and you will begin earning from Select.[1] You have two weeks from the announcement (February 12th) to change your default settings before Select goes live.[1] ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Do Select downloads count towards my sale stats? Yes. Select downloads appear as sales in your dashboard and count towards your overall sales statistics.[1] ### Can I move prompts in and out of Select? Yes. You can change your global rules or use individual overrides at any time. There is no lock-in. You can include or exclude any prompt whenever you like.[1] ### Can a Select prompt still be purchased individually at full price? Yes. Select prompts can always still be purchased individually at full price as normal.[1] ### Do I have to do anything to get started? Not if you are happy with the default. The starting setting includes prompts older than 60 days, priced $6.99 or less, with no sales in the past 60 days. If that works for you, you are all set. If you would like to adjust which prompts are included, or opt out, head to your account settings. You can change your preferences at any time.[1] ### Can I opt out completely? Yes. You can opt out of Select entirely from your account settings. No prompts of yours will be included.[1] ### What happens if I remove a prompt from Select? It is immediately removed, no lock-in, no penalties. Existing buyers who already downloaded it keep their copy, but no new Select downloads will occur for that prompt.[1] ### Does Select change my prompt pricing or fees? No. Your prompt prices and marketplace fees for individual sales are completely unchanged.[1] ## Getting Started You are in control. Head to your account settings to review and configure which prompts are part of Select. If you are happy with the default (prompts older than 60 days with no sales, priced $6.99 or less, in the past 60 days), you do not need to do anything. It will be active when Select launches to buyers on February 25th.[1] If you have questions or feedback about PromptBase Select, reach out via the email on the PromptBase contact page, or send a message to Ben.[1] ## Key Takeaways - PromptBase Select launches February 25th as an optional subscription model - Creators earn $1.00 per download from subscribers - Individual sales, pricing, and fees remain completely unchanged - Default setting includes prompts older than 60 days, priced $6.99 or less, with no sales in the past 60 days - You control which prompts are included through global rules or individual overrides - Select monetizes prompts that sit idle without replacing individual sales - You can opt out entirely or adjust settings at any time - Select downloads appear as sales in your dashboard with a purple Select chip ## References [1] PromptBase.
