Monetisation & Revenue
Paid Community
Also called: membership community, paid Discord, community subscription
The product here is the room. A paid community sells access to a space where members talk to the creator and to each other, usually run on Discord, Circle, Skool or a membership tier with a private area attached. It behaves differently from selling content. A finished course sits there and keeps being worth the money, while a quiet community is worth nothing at all, so somebody has to turn up daily and keep it warm. That somebody is normally the creator, and the hours are real.
