Important
20% recurring is solid for creator economy category. Lifetime commission creates strong long-term revenue potential. Growing creator audience. However, audience limited to people interested in community building—not mass market appeal.
Creator economy audience limits TAM. Minimum payout threshold not published. Payout frequency/method details sparse. Attribution window not explicitly stated.
What you would be selling
A direct 20% lifetime recurring commission on a creator-community platform — solid ongoing rate, narrowed to people specifically building paid communities.
Skool is one brand with 4 products, bought by different people. What one converted customer is worth cannot be worked out for any of them: that needs a rate, a plan price and a commission window, and this program does not publish all three.
