ONLINE COMMUNITY · MONETIZATION · 4 articles
Monetize without breaking your community.
Paid memberships, premium groups, sponsorship, services, and product sales for online communities, with patterns to avoid the trust collapse.
What you'll find here
- Membership tiers: free, paid, founding member, lifetime
- Premium groups and exclusive content
- Sponsorship: when it works, when it kills trust
- Adjacent products and services for community audiences
Our take
Most community monetization guides treat the community as the product. The work here treats the community as the audience for adjacent products and services, which compounds longer.
