Agree. Would be nice to get some more information about the people working on the projects on here.
I LIKE THINGS AS THEY ARE
I would say it's the other way around. For all my products I first started building a brand (albeit passively by just posting blogs and on social media) and only after noticing interest/visitors/following/requests/emails/dm's I started thinking about making products (mostly books, but I also offered services in the past) I could sell to this audience and other interested people.
I would find it really hard to first build and then later working on the branding.
Not really sure if this answers your question.
It sure does does help getting a feeling of what others think of it. And it totally makes sense in the starting phase of a product.
Having been an influencer myself in the somewhat early days of Instagram (2014-2018) I would prefer option 1. I'm also curious why you would think the commission is too high.
Marc: please no feature requests
Me: ok
Sounds cool and very logical. Maybe users can be able to change project into product once it's (an instance, item or membership) sold?

I know this might be too simple, but I prefer to do the bare minimum of legal texts and just offer service like a real human because I absolutely hate to call / email services and jump through hoops and talk to robots to get stuff done.
I just wrote simple text on a Google Doc for people who use my site www.yelmair.com as well as people who buy my books (e-books and physical products):

Returns
If you have bought something that did not meet your expectations, you can return it within a reasonable period (let's agree on a month) to:
[address]
stating your name and order number.
If you also email me at [email address] stating that you have returned, you will get your money back.
Digital goods
E-books cannot be returned and neither can memberships, but you can always email to [email address] and you will usually get your money back if you have a good reason.

I like this idea.
Me too!
