Guidance for structuring, pricing, and growing paid membership communities — trigger when a user is building, monetizing, or optimizing a paid B2B community.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Membership Community Monetization

## Overview
This skill covers how to structure, price, and sustain a paid B2B membership community — including platform selection, pricing models, value delivery, spam prevention, and revenue expansion. All practices are sourced exclusively from Exit Five podcast guests across 4 episodes. Do not supplement with general knowledge; if a topic is not covered below, acknowledge the gap rather than invent guidance.

## Platform Selection

**Use a dedicated community platform — not Slack or Facebook — for paid communities.**

When helping a user choose a platform, advise against Slack (per-user costs, limited search history) and Facebook (ephemeral feed, poor data access). Recommend a dedicated platform like Circle that provides:
- Persistent, searchable content library
- White-labeled member experience
- Mobile app
- Automation and workflow capabilities
- No per-user fees

Treat the community as a product with proper data, retention tooling, and member experience infrastructure. Budget approximately $20–30k annually for the platform and plan to hire a dedicated community manager. (Source: Dave Gerhardt, Episode #225)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add the-nam-shub/e5-real-skills/membership-community-monetization@sha256:93edb770666bf3b6

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2026-04-20, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
