Takeaways
- Lisa talks about how a membership suite can help you scale! It’s a great way for people to keep that tether to you after coaching. It allows you to share more knowledge, and offers people a way to learn and grow from you.
- The openness about memberships is what makes them such a good idea for you. It doesn’t have to be low cost, it can have time periods set, and go into it with the idea that you can make it very specific to your business!
- A membership site is the next best thing if you want to grow, and you have a niche that you want to serve in a more inclusive way.
- Lisa says that when starting a membership, it’s all about the culture and inclusivity. Even if you only have a small email list, there is reason to wait! Set the culture and get started even if it’s small scale. You can help 10 people or 10,000 people.
- When it comes to price, Lisa says she doesn’t think you should undercharge. Memberships are just another way of offering service to people. It depends on what you’re offering, but she says her sweet spot is $250 a month.
- Lisa talks about how you have to commit to your membership–sell it like you would a course. Work out the purpose and the transformation that your members can reach and you will see it become a success. If you go lighter on the amount of content, and higher on the coaching and transformation, people will be happy to show up.
- Mistakes Lisa sees people making when making a membership:
- Pricing their membership too low
- Not putting together a plan of action
- Not creating the transformation for their members
