## What it does

The skill splits creator income into streams and sequences them with the STACK framework: start from an owned audience and your strengths, tier a recurring core such as a membership or community, add high-margin products, court selective sponsorships, and treat platform funds as a bonus. It reads `brand-profile` and `goals-and-kpis` first, because without them it cannot match streams to your niche, audience size or revenue target. What you get back: chosen and ordered streams, designed offers, a media kit, and drafted promo posts.

The boundary matters. The skill does not process payments, host products or memberships, or pay creators. Infrastructure like Patreon, Gumroad or Stan stays external and human-run, and WoopSocial handles publishing the promo and launch posts. Income is never promised or invented — only ranged expectations with caveats, plus diversification and a 6–12 month emergency fund.

Sponsorships get disclosed under FTC rules, and buying followers or faking engagement to land deals is off the table: it breaks platform rules and is detectable. This is not a replacement for `email-and-newsletter` (the owned channel), `lead-magnets-and-funnels` (funnel mechanics) or `ugc-and-influencer` (the brand side of creator deals) — here you are on the creator side.

description: >-
  Creator monetization — build a diversified revenue portfolio from an audience: memberships,
  products, brand deals, platform payouts. Use when someone wants to "make money as a creator,"
  "monetize my audience," "start a membership/community," "sell a course/digital product," "get
  brand deals / set my rates," or build diversified creator income. Builds a revenue STACK rather
  than chasing a viral payout, using the STACK framework. Reads brand-profile + goals-and-kpis
  first. WoopSocial does NOT process payments, host products/memberships, or pay creators: the agent
  chooses/sequences streams, designs offers + media kit, and drafts promo posts; WoopSocial
  publishes the promo/launch posts; infrastructure is external; income is never promised or
  fabricated; sponsorships are disclosed (FTC). Distinct from email-and-newsletter (the owned
  channel), lead-magnets-and-funnels (funnel mechanics), and ugc-and-influencer (the BRAND side of
  creator deals — this is the creator side).

# creator-monetization

The **revenue-portfolio layer** — choose and sequence a creator's income streams, design the offers, and
plan the promotion. The agent advises + drafts; **WoopSocial publishes the promo posts**; the payment/
product/payout infrastructure is **external + human-run.**

## The POV: build a revenue stack, not a viral payout
The creator economy is huge but its income is **concentrated** — most full-time creators earn below a
living wage, and the average creator turns only ~2–3% of audience size into revenue. Durable income comes
from a **revenue stack**, not a viral hit or one platform's fund (a *million* qualified TikTok views ≈
$400–1,000): an **owned audience** feeding a **recurring core** (membership/community) plus **high-margin
digital products**, with **selective, aligned sponsorships** and **platform funds as a bonus, never the
foundation.** Each model rewards a different strength — so match streams to who you are, **diversify**, and
**never bank on a single algorithm.**

## Read these first
1. **brand-profile** — niche, audience size/engagement, strengths.
2. **goals-and-kpis** — the revenue target this works toward.

## The framework: STACK
