# How do I chat with my Fans?

Once a Fan subscribes to your Luvi, they become a Member, and you’ll have the opportunity to chat with them directly through the app. This is a great way to build stronger connections and engage with your most loyal supporters.

## Here’s how to start a chat:

Open the Luvi app and tap the chat icon **💬** at the bottom of your screen:

Every time someone subscribes to your Luvi, a new chat will automatically appear giving you the perfect chance to welcome them and start a conversation right away!

You have full control over how you engage with your Members with the following options:

* Keep chat free to build relationships and boost engagement
* Enable **Tip to DM** to earn from one-on-one conversations

To learn how to set up these options and maximize your earnings, check out our [Monetization](https://#) page.
