Athlete Monetization Blueprint: 5 Easy Things Your Fans Would Love to Pay For (If You’d Know Where to Sell Them)
From locker room updates to VIP access—here’s how athletes are monetizing fans directly via Fanblast with WhatsApp, iMessage & real intimacy.
The Problem Isn’t Lack of Fans—It’s Lack of a Funnel
You already have what most people want: fans. People watching your games, sharing your clips, following your journey, DMing you after every match or performance. Whether you’re a pro athlete, up-and-comer, or ex-player building a presence online—the opportunity is right in front of you.
But here’s the real issue:
Most athletes don’t know where or how to monetize that fan love in a direct, sustainable way.
Instagram is great for building hype. TikTok gives reach. But when it comes to making real, recurring income? These platforms are designed to keep the fans—not give them to you. The algorithm owns the access. You don’t.
That’s where Fanblast changes the game.
Fanblast gives athletes a real phone number (not your personal one) to message fans directly on WhatsApp, iMessage, and SMS—the same channels fans use to text their friends. That’s where trust lives. That’s where attention lives. And that’s where money lives.
Here’s what to actually send.

1. Weekly Meal Plan & Supplement Stack
Fans don’t just want your body—they want to know how you built it.
What to sell:
💸 Why it works from our experience:
This is aspirational intimacy. Fans admire you, and now they can copy you. It’s high perceived value, low effort, and you can resell it weekly.
What to sell:
- Your daily meals, calorie splits, supplements
- Grocery lists, “what I eat in a day” guides
- Sunday night meal prep messages or voice notes

2. Behind-the-Scenes Locker Room Updates
This is the stuff they’ll never see on ESPN or your main feed.
What to sell:
💸 Why it works from our experience:
Psychologists call it the “backstage pass effect”—people pay a premium to feel like they’re seeing something no one else does.
What to sell:
- Short videos from the tunnel, locker room, or team bus
- Pre-game rituals, pump-up playlists, or live Q&As
- Post-match thoughts or unfiltered voice notes

3. VIP Fan Broadcast List
A private, inner-circle list where fans get your realest updates.
What to sell:
💸 Why it works from our experience:
This taps into the “proximity principle.” When fans feel close to you, they spend more—and message-based intimacy outperforms every other channel in terms of open and conversion rates.
What to sell:
- Daily motivation, check-ins, or mini-rants
- Personal life moments (without posting to the world)
- Polls: Let fans vote on your gear, recovery snacks, or training playlist

4. Weekly Q&A Drops
Low lift. High connection. Scalable. Every week.
What to sell:
💸 Why it works from our experience:
This creates dialogue, not broadcast. It turns passive followers into engaged, paying supporters.
What to sell:
- Ask fans to submit questions (training, life, recovery, etc.)
- Reply to 5–10 each week in a voice memo or private text
- Offer paid 1-on-1 answers for deeper convos

This creates dialogue, not broadcast. It turns passive followers into engaged, paying supporters.
5. Personal Motivational Messages or Shoutouts
This is where real money lives—in the 1:1 experience.
What to sell:
💸 Why it works from our experience:
These are custom, connection-rich assets. And they can go for premium prices. Some athletes on Fanblast are charging $50–$150 for one personalized message—and fans gladly pay.
What to sell:
- Personalized pep talks for aspiring athletes
- Birthday shoutouts or game-day messages
- “Custom coaching” voice drops or warmups
