There are several ways you can monetize your online community and raise capital for your organization. Here are some great ways to create a revenue stream from your community! **Charge for memberships**               One of the easiest ways to monetize your online community is to present membership fees. Many are successful doing this because it allows members to have access to an exclusive community where they receive valuable information and opportunities. Although this may mean less members, you will now have the money to invest back into the community to provide better [content](https://blog.breezio.com/3-ways-to-create-content-that-keeps-your-members-interested) and opportunities.  **Sell [eBooks](https://info.breezio.com/association-guide-to-creating-an-active-online-community)**               Write an [eBook](https://info.breezio.com/association-guide-to-creating-an-active-online-community) that attracts members of your online community.

Take advantage of advertisement opportunities to raise funds!  **Affiliate Products/Brands**                Another way community leaders are making money in their online community is by using affiliate links. You can promote products and services that might [interest your community](https://blog.breezio.com/how-to-differentiate-your-association-define-your-strong-core-values) and receive a portion of the profits if members buy them.
