Many clients come to me and say, Amber, I’d like to start a membership site. How soon can you make this happen – by the end of next week…?
My first response is usually to laugh (with all due respect of course!)
Here’s the thing. Yes, a Membership Site can “technically” be set up in a week. And by technically, I am referring to the “nuts and bolts”. BUT, what I have learned is that it takes MORE than just these nuts and bolts and some old audios and previously written articles to make a membership LAST.
What I have seen happen over the last few years is that everyone is in a rush to create a membership because someone told them it was an easy way to make money online – with little or no effort. This is a lie folks. Sure, you can – but here is what will most likely happen. Your clients will come in, download what they need, and cancel. Simple as that.
A truly successfully membership site does more than provide “content”. I provides a community…somewhere for your clients to not only learn the valuable information you were born to share – but to also find a place of belonging. And guess what? YOU need to play an active role – not just upload it and let it run itself.
I recently had the opportunity to do some coaching and brain storming with the 1Shoppingcart.com creator and Guru himself, George Tran, around Membership Sites and around his methodology. For someone who has been providing membership site support for years to my clients – I learned an incredible amount from George on the mindset that MUST happen first before you even begin to setup a membership site – if you are looking to create something that will last.
Stay tuned as George and I roll out a new wave of training on this and his new program with Practice Pay Solutions called Ecommunity. I know this will blow your mind as it did mine! My clients are already seeing the benefits of my new way of thinking and managing their membership sites!
To Your Membership Site Success!
Amber
