Definition
A business model in which customers pay a recurring fee (monthly or annually) for ongoing access to content, products, or services. In the creator economy, subscription services include channel memberships, Patreon tiers, paid newsletters, and SaaS tools. Subscription revenue provides creators with predictable, recurring income that is less volatile than ad revenue or one-time product sales.
