The ability to offer valuable experiences and make money really is unlimited.

Your Spaces are a way to group people together and deliver your premium experiences.

  • You can create free spaces for your community to share and connect (Orange box👇)
  • Or create premium, more valuable spaces for members to access greater support that they pay for (Pink box👇)

Here are a range of different ideas and executions you can use to turn your followers into members to make an income 🌱

Membership Ideas

  • Exclusive videos and posts on a weekly basis about key topics on climate change
  • Behind the scenes discussion on how you’re growing your business
  • Book clubs to bring 5 or 8 people together to debate. Here are 3 ideas:

—Deconstruct research or documents published from reputable institutions to help others understand

—Review Netflix documentary: Set an evening to watch a Netflix doc together and then come together to share ideas

— Ted Talks and podcasts: Debates and ideas that are shared. Set everyone an task to watch the talk and then get together to share

  • Community pot for events. Build up a bit of cash to host an awesome event for all your members to gain access to influential industry leaders
  • Access to an exclusive WONDR space and Group chat
  • A 30-min zoom chat to review someone’s dissertation or agency proposal
  • Input ideas on a design for your sustainable fashion brand

Subscription Ideas

  • Create virtual products such as PDF guides, worksheets and E-books
  • Allow companies to sponsor the creation of your comic book or Indie game that helps people learn. Place their logo on your creation as a nod to those who helped make it happen
  • Give people voting rights on future content — what will you create next? Let the community decide
  • Allow subscribers early access to your vlogs, blogs, research and podcasts

Examples of WONDR Creator, One for Environment and A Call to Conserve, subscription offering:

Micro-Learning (Weekly, Bi-Weekly or Monthly) Ideas

  • Set up networking events, speed networking and industry connections
  • Use a networking platform like Gather (25 spaces free) and then charge for additional seats. Scarcity also creates a desire to get involved
  • Workshops for upskilling in a particular ability such as project management, marketing, copywriting. Or this could be something more practical like a sewing bee to learn how to upcycle clothes.
  • Check-ins for Q&As on work projects and professional challenges
  • Essay reviews and advice on students Master’s thesis/majors
  • Create courses for in-depth understanding. See how to create a course on WONDR here
  • Publish bitesize content for micro-learning. Lessons on key topics that your members care about. Publish videos and offer frameworks and worksheets to test your students
  • Upsell into exclusive groups so that students can continue learning informally with their peers in your community

Ongoing Ideas

  • Recognition of the creativity and effort you go to, to support your community
  • Buy me a coffee — the one-offs for supporting the work you do
