Masterminds

What is it?

Participants can either pay a one-time fee to attend a single session, or a recurring membership to attend multiple events throughout the year.

These sessions are a great way to monetize through network effects. By leveraging the expertise of your subscribers to solve each other's problems, you're able to provide targeted guidance without actually doing it yourself 1-to-1

Despite the fact that it's not you doing much of the teaching, you can still charge for facilitating the opportunity to learn together.
