In 2025, one of the most underrated ways to make money online is something you might already have.
Your community.
If you are running a WhatsApp group, a Discord server, a Facebook group, an email list, a Telegram channel, or a Nas.io community, you are already sitting on a potential six figure business. Most people just treat it like a place to hang out. The smart ones treat it like an asset that can be monetized in a structured way.
You do not need a huge audience, a fancy funnel, or a massive team. You need a clear system to turn people’s problems into paid solutions, and then stack those solutions into multiple revenue streams.
This guide will walk you through exactly how to turn your existing or future community into multiple six figure revenue streams using a simple three phase framework.
Why Communities Are the New Online Goldmine
For years, “make money online” meant things like:
- Running ads to cold traffic
- Posting content every day and hoping it goes viral
- Building complicated funnels before you ever spoke to a real customer
Communities flip that script.
Inside a community, you already have:
- People who share a common interest or problem
- Direct access to their questions, frustrations, and goals
- Built in trust, because you show up consistently
That is everything you need to make money online.
Here is why community monetization works so well:
- You sell solutions, not guesses. You see what people ask every day, so you do not have to guess what to build.
- You can test small and fast. You can drop a message like “Who would pay 50 dollars for a 2 hour workshop on this?” and validate an idea in a few minutes.
- You can stack revenue streams over time. Start with one offer, then add a membership, a challenge, a toolkit, or a mastermind. This is how six figure revenue happens.
Tools like Nas.io make this even easier because you can host your community, sell memberships, run paid programs, send emails, and track revenue from one place. No messy tech stack and no hopping between ten different tools.

The PAID Framework: Find Problems People Pay For
Before you can make money from your community, you need to know which problems are actually expensive enough for people to pay for.
That is where the PAID framework comes in.
PAID stands for:
P — Pressure
There is urgency. If they do not fix this soon, something gets worse. A deadline, a launch date, a life situation.
A — All the time
It is not a one time issue. It keeps coming back. Every week, every month, every season.
I — Insolvable alone
They cannot easily fix it with a quick Google search or a YouTube tutorial. They need guidance, systems, or accountability.
D — Drives them crazy
It is emotionally painful. It makes them stressed, embarrassed, frustrated, or stuck.
The more a problem scores across PAID, the more people will pay to solve it.
Examples:
- “I keep launching offers and no one buys.”
- “My life feels meaningless. I am always lost with my purpose.”
- “I get leads but I cannot turn them into paying clients.”
- “I am burning out trying to grow my audience and business at the same time.”
These are the kinds of problems you can turn into high ticket offers, paid programs, and premium memberships.
The 3 Phase Community to Business Framework
Now let us break down how to turn those PAID problems into multiple six figure revenue streams using a simple three phase framework.
Phase 1: Discovery — Find the Money Inside Your Community
This is where you figure out what your community will actually pay for.
Step 1: Ask AI to act as a strategist
Open your favorite AI tool and “hire” it as a colleague.
Prompt example:
“Act as a world class business and community strategist. I run a community of [who your people are] who struggle with [main theme, for example: growing their business, finding purpose, learning AI]. Help me identify the 3 biggest recurring problems they face that they cannot solve alone. For each, explain why it is high value and recurring.”
This gives you a first draft of problems.

Step 2: Layer in PAID
Now bring your own insight:
- Scroll through your chat history, Q&A, comments, DMs
- Copy paste real phrases your community uses
- Feed them into AI and say:
“Score each of these using the PAID framework. Tell me which single problem is the most profitable to solve first and why.”
You will end up with a “top problem” like:
- “My life is meaningless. I am lost.”
- “I keep creating content but I am not making money.”
- “I cannot turn my skills into a structured online offer.”
That is your starting point.
Phase 2: Validation — Match the Problem to a Business Model
Now that you know the top problem, you need to decide how to solve it in a way that makes you money online.
Common community business models:
- Service or consulting
High touch, personalized coaching, audits, strategy calls. - Digital products
Templates, toolkits, mini-courses, playbooks. - Paid access
Memberships, group coaching, challenges, masterminds.
Ask AI to help you choose:
“Based on this problem: [paste PAID problem], compare three models: one on one coaching, weekly group calls, and a 7 day challenge. Create a table and score them 1 to 5 for startup time, ease of validation, profit potential, and scalability. Add a short explanation for each score.”
You will see which offer is the best minimum viable business for you right now.
Sometimes that is:
- Weekly group calls
- A 7-day challenge
- A one-on-one intensive
Pick one. That is your first monetized offer.
Phase 3: Scaling — Turn One Offer Into Many
This is where you start to build multiple six figure revenue streams from the same community.
The trick is simple:
If Offer 1 solves Problem 1, what is the next logical problem they will face after they get that result?
You can ask AI directly:
“Assume my weekly group calls help my members go from ‘lost and stuck’ to ‘clear on their direction and first steps.’ What is the most logical next problem they will face? Suggest two higher tier offers I can create as the next step, and explain why they are a natural progression.”
You might get suggestions like:
- A toolkit or resource library
- A 3-month mastermind
- A premium one-on-one coaching package
Now your revenue ladder looks like this:
- Entry offer — low to mid ticket
- Core offer — higher ticket
- Premium offer — highest level, elite access
This is how a simple community can suddenly have:
- 997 dollar group programs
- 49 dollar per month memberships
- 3,000–10,000 dollar premium packages
All built around the same audience, same problems, same brand.
Real Examples of Monetizable Community Offers
Here are a few examples to spark ideas for your niche.
If you run a community for freelancers:
- “Booked Out in 90 Days” group program
- Template library
- High-ticket mastermind
If you run a community for aspiring creators:
- 14-day “Launch Your First Offer” challenge
- Monthly membership
- Done-with-you brand strategy
If your community is about mindset or purpose:
- Weekly clarity calls
- Digital workbook with guided audio
- One-on-one transformation coaching
Every one of these can be sold directly to your own members using:
- Simple posts
- Email blasts
- Personal DMs
And they can all be set up on Nas.io as:
- Paid memberships
- Digital products
- Cohort programs
- Bundles
This is exactly how a small but engaged community becomes a six-figure business.

A Simple 7 Day Action Plan to Start Monetizing
Day 1 — Define your people and their big problem
Who they are, what they want, what blocks them. Add this context into your AI tool.
Day 2 — Collect real pain statements
Find at least 10 quotes from members. Score them with PAID.
Day 3 — Pick your first offer type
Ask AI to compare models and choose the simplest one.
Day 4 — Outline your offer
Define outcome, format, pricing, bonuses.
Day 5 — Validate inside your community
Ask who would join and at what price.
Day 6 — Set it up on Nas.io
Build the product, write a simple sales page, turn on email notifications.
Day 7 — Launch
Community announcement, broadcast email, DMs to warm leads.
Even 3–5 buyers is success. Now you refine and scale.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Building a course before validating
- Serving everyone instead of the ideal segment
- Undercharging
- Using too many tools instead of one
- Never making the offer clear

If you approach it with a clear framework, you can:
- Identify profitable problems
- Validate offers fast

You do not need perfection. You need intention and consistency.
