| $500 – $2,500 MRR | ~27% | Product-market fit forming |
| $2,500 – $10,000 MRR | ~22% | Established, sustainable creator income |

What moves creators up the curve
- Pricing. A single raise from $29 to $79 changes the math more than any acquisition tactic.
- Retention. Churn compounds. Communities under 5%/mo churn scale; those above 10% leak faster than they can fill.
- A second product. High-ticket coaching or a done-with-you tier adds a step function on top of MRR.
