Cultivators…
You’ve been showing up.
Posting.
Creating.
Sharing your story.
Answering DMs.
Giving away real gems—for free.
At some point, you start to wonder:
How do I actually make money from all of this?
You already know you cannot pay rent, your mortgage or buy groceries with likes.
Welcome to today’s Siembra lesson.
We’re digging into the what, why, when, and how of monetizing yourself and your platform.
What Does It Mean to Monetize Yourself and Your Platform?
Monetizing isn’t just about going viral or landing brand deals.
It’s about getting paid for what you’re already giving to your community.
Here are a few ways creators and thought leaders like you monetize:
Your expertise → Coaching, consulting, workshops, speaking
Your content → Ebooks, templates, online courses, exclusive videos
Your audience → Brand partnerships, affiliate links, newsletters
Your platform → Ad revenue, digital products, community memberships
If people are coming to you for knowledge, vibes, or inspiration…
You’re already valuable.
Monetization just puts structure around it.
Why You Should Start Monetizing
You’ve built trust. People listen when you speak.
Your time is valuable. Even your free content costs you something.
Your audience wants to support you—make it easy for them.
Monetizing allows you to create more value, not less.
Let’s be real:
You don’t have to chase clout.
You can build a real income from a real community.
When Is the Right Time to Start?
There’s no perfect time—but here’s when the right time usually shows up:
You’ve been consistently posting or creating
You’re already answering the same questions over and over
People say “you should charge for this”
You’re ready to create a clear offer and stop guessing
Don’t wait until you have 10,000 followers.
Start when you have clarity.
Let’s Build Your Monetization Roadmap
This is where we stop the guessing and start planting seeds.
In a special live session, we’ll work together to:
Audit what you’re already doing (so we don’t start from scratch)
Align your gifts with 2-3 monetization paths that fit your energy
Amplify your first offer with a rollout plan that makes sense
Whether you’re offering coaching, launching a product, or pitching yourself to brands—you’ll walk away with a clear, simple path forward.
