4 criteria to go from membership idea to membership success

So how do you come up with a membership idea that is almost guaranteed to work this is what we're going to cover in this video so there are really four things that a membership idea needs to answer in order to be considered a great

membership idea that will work ready? number one it needs to be something that actually people really really want and by that I mean not that you think people want or that you think you are your people and that you know what they want that you actually ask them, that that's what they want right

number two it needs to be something that they are willing to pay for and those are two very different things right especially when you're talking about a hobby and not something that is not about making money right so how big is the

pain right or how much are they willing to invest to actually learn that thing okay so that's number two number three it needs to be something that they are going to need ongoing support or ongoing learning material or accountability and that is to cover the recurring part

right you want to make sure that they're not gonna come stay two months and then leave okay so it needs to be something that's sustainable right where you feel you can continue to help them they will want to stay right and then finally

number four let's not forget about you it needs to fit with your business but also with what you want to do what you're passionate about and what you're an expert at now you don't need to be an expert to run a successful membership

but it does help right there are ways where you can actually become the curator but that will be just subject for another video okay so back to our four things how do you come up with an idea that matches these four things well

I guess you you figure that out right you actually need to talk to people so you have two choices here number one you already have an audience so you already have clients maybe you have one-on-one coaching or group coaching or you have

an online course and you have a client base and an audience that you can survey you can talk to to figure out how you can continue to support them next okay so those membership tend to work really really well because you've already

established a relationship people have already spent money with you so that is that know you love you trust you factor that usually is already there all right so this is one great way to come up with a membership idea and then validate it

by talking to them the second option is if you don't have an audience yet so you could have an established business and an audience but you might want to build a membership on a totally different topic right maybe something you're

passionate about and that you really want to start building a business around it maybe building a movement or community right and have a bigger impact sharing what you know about that topic well if that's the case you're gonna

have to do what you did for the other business you're gonna have to start by building an audience right because this is really the best way to get the people build an audience list build a waiting list build an interest list so that

people will tell you if they are interested and willing to pay for it and if it's an idea that you can sustain and that you actually enjoy talking about all day long right so all these two options basically come down to one thing

build an audience build an interest list because if you're not able to build that interest list I can tell you you're not going to be able to sell them the membership for sure alright so I hope you find this helpful if you're not subscribed to the
