In 2022 I launched my Patreon membership for content creators and am choosing to end it after only a few years. Today I'm talking about how a membership worked and didn't work for me as an income stream in my creator business as well as some of the things you should consider if you're thinking about creating paywall content as an influencer.

What are your thoughts on having a paid membership model as an influencer? Let me know in the comments!
Such a great discussion! I started a YT member group in January. My top tier is $20 and I am looking at it as an “incubator” for content I want to put together in a course/book. YT takes a huge cut, but there’s no learning curve for me. I look it as they are paying me to produce content I can repurpose. And I have no hesitation with charging because I know I am expediting their results and saving them much more than the cost in supplies they don’t need.
Hi Shannon, thank you so much for sharing your membership experience! It's awesome to hear you found a member model that works for you. Also, omg you're getting so close to 100k! What an exciting milestone and so well deserved 💕
I was a member of your patreon and enjoyed the content. I totally understand your point. I will have to look into your course
thank you so much for being a patron! It truly means so much to me that you joined. And I'll definitely continue to share other resources including the course 🥰 You can find more info and join the waitlist here: austentosone.com/enroll
Hey Austen, thank you for your feedback on the subject. I never started memberships because I always thought if I create more content for a membership, it might as well be content for my channel - in the end it doesnt necessarily bring more money but it's double the work
Thank you for watching Audrey! I totally agree that that content could potentially do more $$ at scale with ad revenue vs getting people to actually sign up and hand over their own money each month.
Loved it!
thank you for watching!
Another fantastic video Austen. Thanks 👍 for giving us your views on the advantages and disadvantages of having a channel membership and why it's not for you after 2 years. Love 🥰 the video and love ❤ Austen.
thanks so much for watching! 💕
