Two articles talking about monetizing audiences through (i) subscriptions to email lists and chat groups (ii) online events via zoom calls or webinars

Article 1: paid subscriptions/memberships to email lists and telegram chat groups

* Paid members, even with small fee, increase safety of group by cutting out spammers and bots. Quality of conversation increases.


* Telegram chat app offers a better platform for paid groups because phone numbers are not visible to participants, group size is not limited to 256 participants like Whatsapp, Telegram infrastructure allows service providers to manage paid memberships automatically
* InviteOnly offers automated management of members, free or paid memberships, recurring or one-off membership payments, groups with limited numbers of members for more exclusive access or different membership tiers
