Sound familiar?

You've built something people love. It just doesn't pay you yet.

01

Events barely break even

You spend hours organising, and after the venue and supplies there's nothing left for you.

02

It can't pay you full-time

You'd love this to be your job, but it pays like a hobby. So it gets squeezed around the day job, and never gets your best.

03

Brands feel out of reach

You know sponsors pay communities, but not who to ask, what to charge or what to send.

The method

Five revenue levers. Pull one at a time.

How to make money from a community: most rely on ticket sales alone. The ones earning $10k a month use three or more of these revenue streams.

Lever 1

Paid events

Price for profit, tier your tickets, end no-shows.

Lever 2

Memberships

Recurring revenue that grows every month.

Lever 3

Sponsorships

A deck, a rate card and brands that say yes.

Lever 4

Venue deals

Get paid to fill their quiet nights.

Lever 5

Premium

Workshops, trips, retreats and merch.

Charlie Baron, founder of Community Leaders Club and co-founder of Tribe Charlie Baron speaking on stage at a Tribe community event
Your coach

Hi, I'm Charlie. I've built communities, and the business behind them.

I built Portugal's largest community, then co-founded Tribe, the operating system community leaders use to launch, grow and monetise across cities. I've seen the numbers behind hundreds of communities, and I know exactly which moves make them pay.

My story

How one community became Tribe.

It started a year after Covid, with a feeling of big-city loneliness. I moved to Lisbon, built my own community, and it grew into Portugal's largest. That led to Tribe: everything a community leader needs, from ticketing to memberships, in one platform. Here's the story in 90 seconds.

FAQs

What's the difference between the three plans?

Community Only ($49/month) gets you the members' WhatsApp community, the full training library and templates, Q&A with Charlie and first access to brand partnerships. Group Coaching ($129/month) adds your category's WhatsApp group and a monthly group coaching call with leaders who run what you run. 1:1 Mentorship ($199/month) adds a direct WhatsApp line to Charlie and a monthly 1:1 call on your numbers. It's limited to 50 members.

Can I talk to someone before I join?

Yes. Book a free 15-minute call with Charlie. Tell him about your community and he'll help you work out which plan fits, or whether the Club is right for you at all.

What does first access to brand partnerships mean?

Brands come to us wanting to reach real people at in-person communities. When a campaign fits your community's audience and city, members hear about it first, before it goes anywhere else. It's on every plan.

How much time does it take?

About 2–3 hours a month: short lessons you can watch anytime, plus a monthly group call on Group Coaching, and a monthly call with Charlie on 1:1 Mentorship.

I'm starting from zero revenue. Is this for me?

Yes, if you already run regular events with people who come back. Module 1 gets your first paid events live.

How big does my community need to be?

There's no minimum. What matters is that people keep coming back: a 30-person run club full of regulars can earn more than a 3,000-person group chat that never meets.

Do you take a cut of my revenue?

No. You pay a flat membership and keep everything your community earns. If you choose to use Tribe, its 5% platform fee applies, and Group Coaching and 1:1 Mentorship include monthly credits against it.

How do I make money from my community?

There are five main revenue levers: paid events, memberships, brand sponsorships, venue and partner deals, and premium experiences such as workshops, trips and merch. Most communities rely on tickets alone; the ones earning $10k a month use three or more.

How much should I charge for community events?

Add up every cost, including your own time, set a profit target, then divide by the number of tickets you realistically expect to sell. Add an early-bird price and a premium tier, and use paid tickets to cut no-shows.

How do I get sponsors for my run club or community?

Build a short sponsor deck that leads with your audience, create a rate card with three packages, and message the marketing lead at brands your members already use. Follow up at least three times, then send a recap after each event and pitch a renewal.

How do I start a paid membership for my community?

Pick one headline benefit, add a few perks that cost you little, price it at roughly two events a month, and open a 7-day founding window. Message your 20 most engaged members personally before announcing it publicly.

What happens after I join?

You'll land on a welcome page with your next steps: join your WhatsApp groups, open the training platform and start Module 0. On 1:1 Mentorship you'll also book your kickoff call with Charlie. Everything arrives by email too.

Do I have to use Tribe?

No. The playbook works on any platform. Tribe access and credits are included if you want them.

Which cities and communities?

Any city. On Group Coaching and 1:1 Mentorship, group calls and WhatsApp groups are split into 10 categories: run clubs, dinner and supper clubs, business and entrepreneurship, sports and fitness, outdoor and adventure, wellness, social, arts and creative, book clubs and learning, and other communities.

How does the 90-day promise work?

Complete the first four modules. If you haven't added at least $1,000 a month to your community's revenue within 90 days, your next three months are on us. Just send us your numbers.

Can I switch plans or pay annually?

Yes. You can upgrade, downgrade or switch to annual billing (two months free) anytime from your billing page. Founding 1:1 Mentorship members keep their $149 price only while they stay on it.

Can I cancel?

Anytime, in one click. Founding members keep their price only while they stay subscribed.

Your community deserves to pay you back.

Founding 1:1 Mentorship is limited to 25 places at $149/month, locked for life. Apply today and start with your first 1:1 this month.
