You can license this content to brands. - **UGC (User-Generated Content)**: Brands may pay you to create content that they can use on their own social media channels. ## 6. Offering Paid Subscriptions - **Exclusive Content**: Offer exclusive content, behind-the-scenes footage, or special perks to followers who subscribe to a paid tier. ## 7.
