Creators typically save the exclusive, more informative content within in-depth courses, and specialized training for paying members.
Creators will open access to a wide range of resources including downloadable materials, advanced tutorials, and expert-led sessions.
Engagement Evolved
When spending money, people build a stronger emotional attachment to that object, service, or community. When opting in to paid-communities, members are incentivized to perform at a higher level of quality based on the information they're given.
With other like-minded members, they will have a standard to follow based on the existing community's interactions amongst each other. Other than free communities, there may be more rules to follow to ensure the quality of discussion is not tarnished by low-quality conversations.
Example: A professional coaching group or an exclusive mastermind group where members pay for access to expert advice, exclusive content, and valuable networking opportunities.
