Academics
🎓 For Academics Who Want Their Work to Matter and Pay Off
You’ve dedicated your life to deep research, teaching, and contributing to your field.
Your work shapes conversations, shifts thinking, and sometimes even changes the world.
But let’s be honest: that doesn’t always show up in your bank account.
Traditional academic publishing? Minimal royalties, limited distribution, and publishers who profit more from your work than you do.
At Frontspace, we specialize in helping academics like you take control of your intellectual property and transform it into digital assets that generate both income and long-term influence without selling out or dumbing it down.
Here's How We Help:
- Paid Courses: Whether you’re teaching students, professionals, or the public, we help you turn your existing lectures, research, or frameworks into well-structured, engaging online courses. You’ll walk away with something that can be sold repeatedly, whether on your own site or a platform we help set up.
- Membership Communities: If you already have a body of work, articles, case studies, or insights that people would benefit from, we’ll help you package that into a subscription-based model that builds community while creating recurring revenue.
- Self-Publishing Strategy: Academic publishing might earn you citations, but it rarely earns you cash. We guide you through the process of publishing your own books (print, digital, or audio), with full creative control and the ability to market directly to your readers.
- Platform + Audience Growth: We help you identify and attract the right audiences - students, professionals, policy makers, or the general public - using ethical, effective marketing that respects your credibility.
How We Work Together:
We’re not a done-for-you “templated” shop that slaps your name on generic content. Instead, we collaborate with you to ensure your personality, rigor, and values come through, while we handle the heavy lifting:
You stay in your zone of genius — we make it scalable.
Why Frontspace?
Most agencies focus on influencers or e-commerce.
We’re one of the few digital teams that actively specialize in helping academics build income-producing knowledge businesses, and we know how to walk the line between scholarly excellence and commercial viability.
We’re so confident in our approach that for the strategy portion of our work, we’re often willing to get paid based on performance once your offers are live and generating revenue. (You just cover the implementation team.)
This is about creating your legacy and finally getting paid for the value you already bring to the world.
