How to Make Money in Science

Four ways to get paid for your science expertise on MemberPad.

  • Deep-Dive Content

    Publish in-depth articles, research breakdowns, and explainers on cutting-edge scientific topics for paying subscribers.

  • Science Courses

    Create structured courses on specific scientific disciplines, from intro-level to advanced topics.

  • Journal Club

    Run a premium journal club where members discuss and dissect the latest research papers together.

  • Expert AMAs

    Host Ask Me Anything sessions, invite guest researchers, and organize virtual science symposiums.

Go live

Talk to them. Talk with them. Let them talk.

Your Science community comes with three ways to go live: a broadcast for everyone, a stage members can come up on, and a voice lounge they open without you.

Live Broadcasts

Go on air with your camera, your screen, or both at once. Chat runs beside the stream, and every broadcast keeps a replay for the members who missed it.

  • Camera, screen, or both
  • Live chat and a viewer count
  • A replay of every broadcast
  • Or stream in from OBS
Who gets in
Members on your paid plans. Add one paid plan to your community and all three are ready to use.
How much you can host
Your live minutes grow with your paid membership, and audio rooms sit outside that allowance.
When it ends
Every broadcast keeps a replay. Record a room and it joins your replays too.
