Paid Collections

Monetize your expertise by charging for access to premium curated lists and exclusive recommendations.

What Are Paid Collections?

Paid collections require a one-time payment to unlock. Perfect for:

  • Highly curated product lists with detailed insights
  • Exclusive recommendations not available elsewhere
  • Time-saving buying guides for specific needs
  • Premium resources with significant value

Creating a Paid Collection

  1. Set up Stripe first

    Required to accept payments. See Stripe Setup guide.

  2. Create a new collection

    Dashboard → Collections → Create Collection

  3. Enable monetization

    Toggle "Make this a paid collection"

  4. Set your price

    Choose between $5-$500+ based on value provided

  5. Add valuable content

    Include detailed product recommendations and insights

Pricing Guidelines

  • $5-$15: Simple curated lists (10-20 items)
  • $15-$50: Comprehensive guides with detailed insights
  • $50-$150: Expert recommendations with exclusive info
  • $150+: Premium, highly specialized content

Pricing Tip

Price based on the value and time saved for buyers, not the time you spent creating it. A well-researched list that saves someone 10 hours is worth more than $10.

What Buyers Get

  • Lifetime access to the collection
  • All future updates to the collection
  • Clickable product links and recommendations
  • Access from any device

Payment & Payouts

Payments are processed through Stripe. You receive:

  • Purchase amount minus Stripe processing fees (2.9% + $0.30)

Best Practices

  • • Start with free collections to build trust
  • • Clearly communicate what buyers get
  • • Offer an all-access pass for multiple paid collections
  • • Update paid collections regularly to maintain value
  • • Respond to buyer questions promptly
