“Subscriptions are great for software companies, but I do not think they are optimal for creators.”
“As a solo creator with a paid subscription offering, whether that’s a newsletter, podcast, or community, you have to personally keep showing up otherwise your audience will churn.
The ultimate monetization is tokenization – replacing credit card-based subscriptions in Stripe with NFTs and social tokens.
These tokens transform collectives into communities and communities into economies.
There is way more value you can unlock by starting or contributing to existing communities and DAOs that are leveraging their own token.”
Big Idea: It’s difficult to earn money from subscriptions. Collaborative platforms that reward creators and the audience for participating with tokens might be a good way to shift the power from platforms to people. There are some big opportunities in this space.
