1. Community model

Access communities curated and managed by creators. While many communities are built around authority figures or teachers, you don't have to be a subject matter expert to start building a community. The main value of a community is access to a group of people who are interested in and/or learning about the same topic as you.

2. Education model

Business models created around education and teaching. Training, tutorials, online courses and other ongoing educational content fall under the education business model. Maybe you offer basic art classes for free, then charge for “advanced” classes—deep dives into more advanced concepts.

3. Payment model

Patrons have access to premium course content. Typically, there are three types of gated content: content library, bonus content, and premium content.

Your fan base grows long enough and there will be people in your audience who think you're awesome. With a little extra incentive, they'll happily spend a few bucks a month to be a bigger part of your motivation. This business model includes three main types of rewards: recognition, behind-the-scenes, and increased access to creators.
