How it works

Three steps from “thing you know” to “thing you sell”.

No studio required, no editing software to learn, no upfront cost.

1

Pick something you love teaching

The simplest rule: teach the thing people have always asked you to show them. One specific outcome, "how I cure salmon", "my botanical line-work".

2

Record it on your phone

Real workspace, natural light, one take. We provide a one-page filming guide and our concierge onboarding helps early Hosts personally. No editing suite required.

3

Set a price. Hit publish. Get paid.

Upload to MingleIn Studio, set your price (typically $20–$80), and your Workshop goes live. Buyers find it, watch it, and share Boasts of what they made.

The maths, plainly

What a Workshop earns. What Watch Parties multiply.

Two scenarios at the same $40 price point. The left is your Workshop selling normally. The right is what happens when one buyer throws a Watch Party.

Standard sale

A buyer finds your Workshop, watches the preview, buys it, and watches at their own pace.

One buyer hosts a Watch Party

That buyer invites 10 friends. Each friend buys their own seat at full price. Same Workshop. Same price. One evening.

Common questions

Becoming a Host, plainly answered.

Do I need professional video equipment?
No. Your phone is enough. Most of our best-performing Workshops are recorded in the creator's real workspace with natural light.
How much can I realistically earn?
It depends on your subject, your audience, and how often Watch Parties happen for your Workshop. A Workshop keeps selling indefinitely once published, and a full Watch Party turns one sale into 11. We are not publishing typical-earnings figures before launch, because we do not have them yet.
What if nobody buys my Workshop?
Your first buyers will almost always come from your existing audience, people who follow your work and have been waiting for exactly this.
Do I have to keep making Workshops?
No. You record one Workshop and that's it, it earns indefinitely. If you enjoy it and want to make a second one later, great.
Can I list on MingleIn while I'm still selling on Etsy / Instagram / YouTube?
Absolutely. MingleIn requires no exclusivity. Your existing channels stay yours. MingleIn is an additional revenue stream, not a replacement.
What's a Watch Party, and what does it mean for me?
A Watch Party is when one of your buyers invites up to 10 friends to watch your Workshop together at a set time. Each friend buys their own seat at full price, so one evening can turn a single sale into 11.
Are there any upfront costs or monthly fees?
None. Listing on MingleIn is free. We only earn when you earn — our 50% share covers hosting, payment processing and customer support.
Can I cancel and take my Workshop elsewhere?
Yes. You own your Workshop. You can unpublish it at any time, and the original recording is always yours to use however you like.
Is AI-generated content really banned?
Yes. Every Workshop on MingleIn is taught by a real human with real expertise — that's a hard platform rule, not a marketing line.
What do I actually get paid, and when?
You keep 50% of every sale — a share of the price, not a royalty on watch minutes, so it does not move with how long anyone watches. It accrues to your Stored Value balance as sales land, and you withdraw when you choose.

Your craft is already worth teaching.

It costs nothing to publish a Workshop on MingleIn. The first few hours of recording become an income stream that earns indefinitely.
