🎬 Content CreationA focused community: Content Creation for people who want results, not another feed
With 17,000 monthly searches in the US for "content creation," there is significant interest in this topic, which has seen a year-on-year increase of 12.4%. However, the content creation community landscape is primarily clustered at the low end, with 9 of the 12 priced communities charging under $25 a month, and only one community priced between $50 and $100. This indicates an opportunity for a course-led community that can cater to the under-served price band. Your existing audience can provide a solid foundation for initial members, while you can manage the community with under 5 hours per week.
