CooklyBookly is a platform dedicated to empowering chefs and culinary influencers. We offer four monetisation options: Subscriptions, Merch, Brand Partnerships and Pro Ads.
We put you firmly in control of all aspects of monetisation. You control prices and you control which monetisation options you choose.
CooklyBookly manages all of the eCommerce aspects for you. We collect payments on your behalf and we pay you twice a month.
A subscription is a fee that you charge on a recurring basis. You can choose any combination of monthly, quarterly and annual memberships. You have the ability to create multiple subscriptions and set the price for each one.
To support subscriptions, CooklyBookly has in-built live streaming, private chat and chat group capabilities.
Here are some example subscriptions that you might create.
Membership | Monthly | Quarterly | Annual |
Exclusive recipe content | £3 | £10 | £40 |
Exclusive recipe content and weekly cookalongs | £5 | £15 | £50 |
Exclusive recipe content and masterclass access | £7 | £20 | £70 |

There are strategies you can employ to maximise your revenues. Achieving this means employing the best balance of all four monetisation streams. You will have your own goals and priorities but there are different aspects to consider.
A key consideration is what content you choose to make available for free and what content you put into a paid membership.
If you put all of your content into a paid plan, your followers will always be confronted with your paywall whenever they access your content. While this may be what you want, the consequence can be that over time, many of your followers may stop clicking on your CooklyBookly links, knowing that they will not be able to see content without paying.
With this strategy you offer your most recent post for free to everyone. However, after a period of time that you can choose, the content is automatically moved into a paid membership. This is in addition to any additional free content you might like to share with your followers.
There are several advantages to this.
An alternative approach is to offer a combination of free and paid content.
