a record $1 BILLION in course creator earnings (here's 2021 projections...)

Hey {NAME}, DID YOU SEE IT?! The big news from MemberPress ... They passed the $1 billion dollar milestone in creator earnings 🤩 MemberPress is a WordPress membership plugin that helps website owners create and sell online courses, memberships, and premium content. Remember, last year when COVID lockdowns started ... I shared with you that online course creation was a fast RISING TREND! Well, that digital acceleration is still going strong. MemberPress team is projecting that 2021 content creator revenue will likely exceed $600 million. And this trend applies to other course platforms as well. Thinkific is projecting their creators will earn $550 million in 2021. Teachable creators earned $456 million in 2020. I wrote about the trend and [my thoughts on the creator economy](. The creator economy has been on the rise ever since I started WPBeginner in 2009, but it’s never been stronger than right now. If you have the knowledge and passion for teaching others, then you can start a very successful online business today. You can follow my tutorial here on [how to create a membership site]( or [how to create & sell online courses](. Here are some other things you can do with MemberPress: - [Automatically add Drip content in WordPress]( - [Sell group membership account for corporate teams]( - [Sell eBooks or premium file downloads]( - [Create a paywall for premium content with preview options (similar to NY Times)]( Basically if you want to restrict access to any type of premium content in WordPress, then you should [use MemberPress](. As a content creator myself, it’s extremely rewarding for me to see others succeed in their online journey. This is why I invested in MemberPress in 2018 as part of WPBeginner Growth Fund. It’s been an exciting journey to mentor and work alongside them. The impact our users (website creators) are making through their online courses and membership sites is truly humbling to watch. Excited to see how this trend will continue in 2021 and beyond :) Cheers, Syed Balkhi Founder of WPBeginner P.S. Want to work with me? [We're hiring](. All positions are full-time & 100% remote work.
