Monetization
Definition
The process of turning an audience, skill, or platform into a revenue stream, through products, services, sponsorships, courses, memberships, or affiliate income.
Why it matters
Creators with large audiences often struggle to monetise them. Having a clear monetisation strategy ensures that audience-building efforts compound into real income.
Example
A creator with 50,000 followers has multiple monetisation paths: brand deals (£500-£2,000 per post), digital products (passive), coaching (premium), affiliate links (passive).
