How Do I Grow My Discord Server Using Gated Content?
Design a value exchange that fans actually want (early builds, VIP channels, role-locked giveaways). Launch with the Promote Discord Server Reward so the offer, steps, and delivery are consistent and auditable.
Make email the first gate with Subscribe to secure owned reach, then reveal the Discord invite via the reward instructions so only qualified users proceed.
Deliver the actual unlock after an in-server check using Secret Code. Post the code in a visible channel; entrants submit it to confirm they joined before you grant the download link, role, or channel directions.
Segment members for long-term engagement with Question. Ask what they want from the server (support, announcements, events) and assign roles or instructions based on their answers to keep channels relevant.
Widen the top of funnel by encouraging fans to spread the word with Viral Share. Use conservative caps to protect quality and combine this with a simple Visit step that routes newcomers to your “Start Here” hub.
