Lauren Bateman advises creators to use live sessions and behind-the-scenes exclusive content to make community members feel like VIPs. She recommends offering this content through a community with an upsell—such as a Patreon—to monetize and give supporters extra value.
In terms of community, people really want to feel like they're getting something that no one else is getting. So I pop in live a lot with my community. I actually went live last night to give them some updates on the website so they feeling that they're the vip, that they're getting a piece of you that not everyone else is getting. You do behind the scenes stuff. I recommend doing it with a community. It has some sort of upsell. If you're looking to monetize, you could start a Patreon page where you do this type of content to give people who are supporting your channel a little extra bonus and boost and make them feel special.
