How Creators Can Make Money with Communities

There are dozens of ways for creators to grow their earnings with communities, from mentorships, to exclusive events, and more.

Every creator is different, so the best way to implement profitable communities for your following will depend on the size of your audience, niche, fan interests and more.

It also depends on personal preference: what are you passionate about? You want a monetization model that is sustainable for you so you don't burn out.

Here are some example monetization models for communities:

• Tiered community memberships for fans
• Exclusive paid events and meetups
• Access to exclusive 1:1 sessions, coaching or group sessions
• Sponsorships, community deals and other 3rd party perks
• Matchmaking with community members
• And dozens of other opportunities

When starting out you might focus on just one monetization model, but as your community grows, you can layer on others to earn more. Not only does this keep things interesting to reduce burnout, but it also diversifies your revenue streams.
