How do you make money?

Fresh Starts is free for anyone navigating divorce — we will never charge people to access support, resources, or our network of vetted professionals. Instead, our revenue comes from a few different streams that allow us to keep the platform sustainable:

• Expert Guide memberships — Experts pay a membership fee not just to be listed and referred, but also to access benefits like business coaching, PR opportunities, networking, workshops, and ongoing community support.

• Workshops + coaching — We occasionally host professional-focused workshops, public-facing virtual retreats, and small group masterminds on topics like podcasting and self-publishing books. We also offer hourly business consulting and podcast coaching for professionals who want personalized support.

• Affiliate income — When registries are created through Amazon, we receive about 1% affiliate commission on purchased items. This never changes the cost for buyers.

• Merch + books — We sell Fresh Starts merchandise (like T-shirts, tote bags, and mugs, all designed by Jenny) as well as print copies of our books.

All of this together allows us to keep the platform 100% free for individuals navigating divorce, while offering high-value opportunities for professionals and the broader Fresh Starts community.
