How You Earn

Five ways to make money
on Zova

Stack multiple income streams from a single platform — without running a single ad.

🏘️

Paid Communities

Create a private community and charge members a monthly or yearly subscription. You set the price. Zova takes 10% — you keep the rest. Your most dedicated fans pay to be in your inner circle.

Example
200 members × $15/mo = $3,000/mo
Zova fee (10%) = $300
You earn: $2,700/month
💸

Tips & Donations

Any follower can tip you on any post — a photo, an essay, a video, a recipe. Think of it as a tip jar built into every piece of content you share. Zova takes just 5%.

Example
A viral post gets 120 tips at $5 avg = $600
Zova fee (5%) = $30
You earn: $570 from one post
🔐

Exclusive Content

Lock individual posts, tutorials, essays, or photo sets behind a one-time paywall. Readers pay once to unlock — no subscription needed. Great for writers, educators, and photographers.

Example
500 readers unlock a tutorial at $4 each
Zova fee (10%) = $200
You earn: $1,800 from one piece
📨

Creator Newsletter

Send paid newsletters directly to your Zova followers — no separate Mailchimp account needed. Charge for premium issues, weekly roundups, or deep-dive research. Your list, your revenue.

Example
800 paid newsletter subscribers at $6/mo
Zova fee (10%) = $480
You earn: $4,320/month
🔗

External Links & Shop

Feature your Etsy shop, course platform, booking page, or affiliate links directly on your Zova profile. We don't take a cut of external sales — that goodwill is intentional. Your Zova profile becomes your internet hub.
