I've been developing a lot of homebrew content for various RPG systems (adventures, magic items, monsters, setting guides, etc.) and I'm interested in exploring ways to monetize it. What are the most effective online platforms for indie RPG creators to sell their digital content (e.g., DriveThruRPG, Itch.io, Patreon, personal website)? What are some successful strategies for pricing, marketing, and building an audience for homebrew materials? Are there specific types of content that tend to sell better, or common pitfalls to avoid for new creators trying to make a living from their RPG designs?
