Have you considered building a membership community for your business? A membership site can provide you with stable recurring revenue so you can avoid the peaks and valleys that come with being self-employed.

It can also help you to establish yourself as an expert in your subject area. And a membership is a great way to cultivate community. But how big of an audience do you need before you can build a membership? And how do you go about creating a successful membership site that serves that audience well?

Join us for this panel discussion with 3 veteran membership site owners in the craft industry.  You’ll learn:

  • How to ensure you have an engaged community and how to prevent churn.
  • The best software solutions for creating a membership site
  • How to market your membership before launch and after
  • The different types of content you should create for your members, and how much content you need

And so much more! Don’t miss this opportunity to ask your questions live.
