Membership sites are more popular than ever, and why not? They offer recurring, predictable income, give you loads of content you can repurpose in a variety of ways, and work well as a part of an overall funnel that leads to higher ticket coaching or group programs.
So if you’ve considered starting a membership site of your own, I would not be surprised.
I would also not be shocked if you had questions, because let’s face it, membership sites have a lot of moving parts, and they’re a big commitment. That’s why in this episode, I’m addressing all your most common questions.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
Why I almost gave up on my membership site after a year of work, and what I did to turn it around.
Whether or not there’s room on the internet for membership sites that aren’t about business.
Why passive income and easy money are the myth, but membership sites are still worth starting.
How much content you need before you can begin.
What it’s really like to run a membership site from day t0 day.

I am so thankful that you shared this part of your business journey. I actually took the leap earlier this year and started a membership. But I have to admit, although I was excited about it at the time, I don’t think I fully understood the commitment involved. This episode gave me a new perspective on the power of the membership model and reinvigorated my interest in continuing to build my membership. My plan is to take a new look at how I can improve my membership engagement and provide value to my members. Thank you Cindy! You hit it out of the park again!
