There are so many positives about starting and growing a membership site. Some of the benefits I have realized are the recurring revenue, the impact you can make and the freedom to go to the park with my daughter in the middle of the afternoon. But, it doesn’t happen overnight and there are some potential downsides of having a membership site too. I would know because I had to shut down my first membership site in 2014 because it didn’t really work! So before you hit go and create a membership site, let’s talk about whether it is the right move for you: You’ve analyzed your interests, strengths, and passions. You are consistent. You are a little tech savvy and can figure stuff out. You are willing to work for a long time until you hit your member goals and never give up. You want more freedom and stability. You like solving problems. You are willing to learn from someone who is the expert at building membership sites.
