For the last decade, creators have been told to hustle for brand deals, crank out YouTube videos for ad revenue, or launch merch to pay the bills. But there’s a shift happening, one that puts creators back in control. Memberships are becoming the most stable, authentic way to earn an income online.
Unlike ads or sponsorships, memberships aren't based on clicks, reach, or fleeting trends. They’re based on connection. A small group of committed supporters can fund your work every month, allowing you to focus on what you do best.
Merch is great, but it takes upfront investment and ongoing logistics. Ads pay pennies unless you’re going viral. Sponsors can disappear overnight. Memberships, on the other hand, build recurring income around you.
Membership benefits for your supporters:
- Networking: Supporters connect with like-minded individuals and build valuable relationships.
- Resources: Access to exclusive content, community support, and actual real life adventures
- Discounts: Enjoy special offers on products, merch and events
- Influence: Contribute to the direction and growth of the community.
- Learning: Enhance skills and knowledge through the video content, eBooks and travel adventures offered by the content creator
