On many of the major platforms, you will have come across accounts labeled as "official." But have you ever wondered who exactly is behind those accounts, creating content and making announcements? More often than not, these "official" channels are managed by community managers or marketers representing the star or brand. But fans seeking genuine and direct connection with their favorite stars will prefer to engage with their personal social media accounts.
What if stars were able to post directly on their official channels, with fans reassured that the content came from them and no one else? Here's the solution—giving stars permissions to post directly from their official accounts.
Using the Star Story feature on b.stage, stars can share real-time updates on their official platform. Whether it's in the form of text, image, or videos, Star Stories offer a more concise and compact format compared to traditional content uploads. This makes them perfect for swift communication and letting fans know the latest updates quickly.
From official posts to personal posts from stars, just one b.stage is enough for everything you need for your fandom business.
Why b.stage Star Story?
The beauty of using b.stage to build your own platform is that you have all the features you need for your fandom business—membership, content, community, eCommerce, and more—all in one place. In other words, the managers, stars, or brand personas responsible for each crucial aspect of your fandom business can come together seamlessly on b.stage.
Each b.stage user account has its own unique set of uploading permissions. Star Stories may only be uploaded by accounts with the "Star" permission levels, and not by admins—so that fans can always know who is on the other side of the screen.
With b.stage's Star Stories, you can also segment your audience and choose whether to show your Star Story exclusively to your membership fans or to the wider public. By running a membership on b.stage, you can create a more intimate connection with your most loyal fans.
Ultimately, you can use the Star Story feature efficiently by segmenting the moderators who can publish content and the fans who engage with it.
Introducing b.stage Star Story
■ The benefits of b.stage Star Story for owners
01 You have the freedom to edit content
You can upload and edit posts, images, and videos from any PC or mobile device. For images, you can mix and match portrait and landscape, post them in no particular order, and reorder them after they have already been uploaded. You can also retouch images with the image editor.
* Text posts are restricted to 2,000 characters. You can upload up to 20 images, and MP4 and MOV videos up to 20MB.
02 You can upload without any pressure
b.stage provides you with an easy way to upload content, allowing you to increase your content volume with lightweight material. You can use Star Stories to connect with your fans, share exciting news from the field, or post spontaneous "in the moment" updates, all without the pressure of extensive content planning.
03 You can upload separate posts for member/character
Does your brand have multiple members or characters? If so, you can give each member/character a star account so they can have their own voice. That means your members can communicate with fans both alone—and jointly—on your all-in-one, official platform.
04 You can include Star Story as part of your membership benefits
If you add Star Story to your membership benefits, you can tell a more personal and unique story to your membership fans—who are bound to be more generous with you than the general public.
05 You can use it like a blog to document your daily life and share your process
Every step you take as a brand is a process of growth. By documenting your daily life and sharing it with your fans, you can have a narrative of photos to look back on later that tell your story. With Star Story, you can fill in the gaps between your official content—and never stop documenting.
■ The benefits of b.stage Star Story for fans
01 Fans can communicate directly with the stars
While the official account is controlled by the firm or agency, a b.stage lets fans engage directly with their favorite stars. It's a star-centric space where fans can access everything from official information from the company to updates from the star themselves, all in one place.
02 Fans can be kept in the loop with notifications
Fans can be notified by email or app push notifications whenever new content is posted to a Star Story, making sure they never miss a beat.
03 Fans can watch stories from their favorite stars only
When a brand or a group has multiple members, it can also have more than one star. When fans click on the profile of your favorite "star" in a feed of stories, fans can choose to view only that star's stories.
So, how can you use the Star Story feature in b.stage?

Case 2. Sharing daily stories with fans.
“I always post a Star Story after I finish my work because I'm curious about my fans' lives. I believe people are interested in my day as well, so I set aside 10 minutes to upload stories just as if I were reaching out to a friend. We'll chat about stuff like, 'Hey, who wants to play a comment game, who wants to talk, what did you eat today?' I even have notifications for comments. I believe it helps them feel closer to me.”
