If the last time one of your big clients said “ta-ra!”, you panicked about the lost income and went into a spiral – today’s episode was created with you in mind. Memberships are one of the greatest ways you can add an additional revenue stream into your business, which not only provides you with some backup income just in case clients leave, but also gives your day-to-day some variety and makes your business more fun to run!

It’s pretty common to be stumped for ideas about what your membership should be about, though, and to also be worried about there already being too many memberships in the world. We’re here to debunk some of these myths and misconceptions you might have about running your own membership, and also to convince you not to format your membership like ours, The Inner Hub – we explain why in the episode!

So, if you’d love a membership but don’t know where to start, or don’t think you’re ready to run one just yet, we’re sharing all our thoughts about memberships in today’s episode. You’ll be sure to have tonnes of ideas afterwards!

In this episode, we’re chatting about:

  • Why a membership could be a really valuable addition to your business
  • Misconceptions you might have about starting a membership 
  • Ideas for memberships that social media managers could run that you might not have thought of
  • Why you probably shouldn’t try to run your membership in the same way as ours!
