Top 10 Fan Commerce Trends in India 2025 – How Creators Are Earning from Fans
Share
The creator economy in India is entering a new era. Fans are no longer passive viewers — they’re active supporters, buyers, and community builders. This wave, called Fan Commerce, is transforming how creators earn directly from their biggest supporters.
At Clikker, we see these shifts every day across thousands of fan interactions. Below are the Top 10 Fan Commerce Trends shaping India in 2025 and practical ideas to make them work for your audience.
Trend 1: Attention Drops
Creators are turning fan actions like likes, comments, shares, and follows into direct value. Attention itself has become a currency, packaged as exclusive “Attention Drops.” Fans complete simple actions to unlock perks like wallpapers, shoutouts, early access, or discount codes.
What it looks like
- “Like + Comment” to unlock a limited e-poster
- “Share to Story” for early access to a new drop
- “Follow + Save” for a creator’s private note
How to launch on Clikker
- Create an Attention Drop with clear actions + reward
- Use countdowns to drive urgency
- Feature your top fans on a weekly wall of fame
Pro tip: Pair Attention Drops with a small paid add-on (₹89–₹199) to convert attention into revenue.
Trend 2: FeelBooks – Emotional eBooks
FeelBooks are short, aesthetic, emotion-led eBooks by creators. Fans love saving, gifting, and collecting them — it feels like owning a heartfelt piece of their favorite creator.
Ideas
- “Letters I Never Sent” – a 12-page mini FeelBook
- “30 Days of Gratitude” prompts with creator notes
- “Break-Up Survival” pocket guide with affirmations
Bundle 3 FeelBooks at a special price to lift AOV.
Trend 3: MindNotes – Guided Journaling & Wellness
MindNotes help fans reflect, grow, and heal through guided prompts and rituals. Wellness-oriented creators use them to build daily engagement and a positive impact narrative.
Starter pack
- Morning clarity prompts (7-day set)
- Sleep wind-down reflections
- Forgiveness letter framework
Add an optional voice-note companion as a premium add-on.
Trend 4: 1-to-1 Fan Calls & Shoutouts
Personal connection is gold. From private video calls to personal shoutouts, fans gladly pay for authentic creator time and recognition.
Best practices

- Collect context via a short form before the call
- Offer a recording (if both parties consent)
Pricing ideas

- Monthly live room + AMA
- Members-only Attention Drops
- Exclusive discounts on FeelBooks/MindNotes
Keep it lightweight: 2–3 must-deliver benefits per month beat an overloaded list.

Beyond content, creators sell guides, templates, presets, mini-courses and cheat-sheets. These high-margin digital goods scale without extra time per buyer.

Trend 9: AI-Powered Personalized Drops
Creators use AI tools to deliver custom poems, voice notes, letters, artworks at scale — still personal, now more affordable.
Offer 2 tiers: auto-generated (₹199) and hand-polished (₹499+).
Trend 10: Rise of Regional Creators
Regional and vernacular creators convert stronger community trust into sustainable fan commerce. Local language + local culture = higher engagement and conversion.
