Thinking about adding a membership to your already growing business?

Already have a membership?

An online course?

Have you considered that one might not be the best idea for your business?

Well, on today’s episode, I’m diving into answering whether an online course or a membership is right for your business.

You see, I built my business with online courses, but I’ve also had memberships too.

And I like both for different reasons.

I’ve covered a lot about online courses here on the show, but not a ton about memberships.

Memberships can be a high leverage, simple yet effective business model, and they’re also a great opportunity to differentiate yourself from others in your space in the way that you deliver your membership.

This is why I’m kicking off a “Membership Series” here on the podcast where we’ll be deep diving into all aspects of memberships starting with today’s topic — is an online course or membership right for your business — all the way through to retention strategies and beyond.

This series is going to be for those of you with an existing membership or if you’re considering adding one to your business.

Hope you enjoy today’s episode…
