Just wrapped up a PeerTube co-op proposal at #FediCollective in Vancouver.
It went well—but the a big question was: “How will creatives make money?”
My instinct was to think, we’re not even there yet. My priority right now is the co-op’s sustainability and survivability, which is achievable through membership buy-in and a tiered subscription model.
But then a Nigerian man raised a crucial point: Fediverse adoption in Africa is stalling because instance owners aren’t addressing this exact need.
And it’s not a small need. Monetization can be life-changing for African creatives.
So yes—this is something I’m going to have to tackle head-on. -

@atomicpoet That sounds like a great idea, I'd be particularly interested in how things like payments are handled

@pojntfx So I’ll be real. My focus was on building a sustainable financial model.
I settled upon one-time buy-in for membership, followed by tiered monthly subscription. That can work—we’d be in the black with five members.
Monetization, payment processing, by-laws—I’ll need additional founders to help with that. -

@reiver No, we didn’t have enough time. But we connected on LinkedIn.
