If you’re wondering how to make money off worldbuilding, you’re in the right place! World Anvil lets you monetize your content your way, and with any platform - from Patreon to your own store front. Whether you’re creating RPG supplements and DnD adventures, serial fiction, novels, comics or just writing a fascinating setting, making money off worldbuilding is easy with World Anvil!
World Anvil is beautifully designed for easy digital content monetization. You can monetize content that stands alone, like RPG supplements and DnD adventures, short stories and novels, and even sell original characters! Or you can look at content monetization for supplementary material, like additional novel chapters, deleted scenes, or extended lore from your books, podcasts or streams!
World Anvil integrates with ANY monetization platform or storefront, but our Patreon support allows you to link your Patreon directly to your author page, your world and your published books and novels. Easily keep Patrons Only content private, whilst releasing small tidbits to the public, and use custom access denied pages to get more patrons, and show people how they can support you!
With our book writing software and digital publishing platform, you can not only release articles, maps and timelines to your fans and customers, but long form fiction and campaign books! This is a great way to give controlled early access to Patreons or beta readers (no leaked PDFs!). When you’re ready to release, you can make chapters, and additional imagery and audio files, only accessessible to your customers, patrons or superfans! Learn more about our publishing features!
World Anvil is a magnificent multitool, so make sure you check out our other features! It’s the ultimate place to keep your whole world safe, secure and organized, and to market your world to your fans and potential customers through interactive maps, family trees and wiki-style articles!
