What is a gated community in marketing?
A gated community is an audience that lives behind a join barrier: a private Facebook Group, a Discord server, a WhatsApp group. Members opt in, trust is high, and standard advertising can't reach inside. Brands reach these audiences through the admin, with a sponsored post the admin approves and publishes.
How much does it cost to sponsor a community post?
Rates are set by each community's admin, shown as "from $X" on listings, and negotiated in the Deal Room. As a worked example of the fee math: on an agreed $700 deal the brand pays $735 total, the creator receives $630, and Harbor keeps $105, 15% overall.
How do I know a community is real?
Harbor checks. Ownership Verified means the person genuinely controls the community. Audience Verified means a Harbor review confirmed the audience. Member counts are always labeled verified or self-reported, and a badge renders only when its underlying check is true. Unclaimed listings say so plainly.
