What This Revenue Model Is
A consultant whose clients routinely say 'I wish I could stay connected to you and to the other people you work with' has never once considered that what those clients are describing is a paid community they would happily join today. The demand is already expressed. The room just has not been built yet.
A high-touch room, priced for access.
$50-100+
per month, scaled
$5K-30K
high-end annual
facilitation
drives cost
People pay to be in the room with you and with each other. The community is the product, but facilitating it well is real ongoing work, which is why it scores as a Lucrative Job rather than a passive Asset.
Larger communities price at $50 to $100+ a month, while exclusive ones run $5,000 to $30,000 a year, with the higher end reflecting curation and access.
Benchmarked to 2025-2026 community and mastermind pricing (Heights Platform, Business Builder Camp).
Evidence tier: Modeled. Figures are modeled estimates, not observed results. Ranges are illustrations of how the model prices, not predictions of your results.
