It’s A TRIBE Thing — Behind The Scenes of Successful Membership Sites

It’s A TRIBE Thing — Behind The Scenes of Successful Membership Sites

Stu McLaren

There is a BIG trend brewing that’s revolutionizing the way business is being done. Big companies like Netflix, Amazon, Apple and traditional companies like Walmart are jumping on this too. But so are thousands of others - and they’re doing it by shifting to a recurring revenue model. Meaning, more entrepreneurs than ever before have found a way to incorporate a membership or monthly subscription into their business model - and it’s transforming the way they operate forever. No longer do they feel the pressure and stress of having to find new customers every single month. Instead, they just take care of the people who already bought from them and the monthly, recurring revenue keeps building month after month. So how are they doing it? How are they marketing their membership sites? How are they keeping their members happy and paying month after month? And how have they built an incredibly tight bond with their tribe and online community? That's what our show host Shelli Varela explores in this podcast. You'll hear from people building low-stress membership business in just about every niche market you can think of. From photography and calligraphy to dog training, music, art, fitness, well being, self-improvement, blogging, interior decorating, day trading, meal planning, lesson planning and so many more. You'll hear from authors, speakers, coaches, consultants, influencers, teachers and business owners who are all leveraging their existing knowledge and influence and transforming it into passive monthly income. This isn't luck. There is a repeatable formula for producing a growing subscription income... and we'll show you what it is within the episodes of this show. So if you're thinking you'd like to have your own source of recurring revenue each month or, you already have a membership site that you want to take to the next level, subscribe to this show today. Each week, your host, Shelli Varela, will be breaking down their success and uncovering the real story of how they did it... and how you can too! The Recurring Revolution is here... the question is, will you be part of it? Subscribe to the show today!

Cynthia Maugard grew up loving horses, but was always told not to turn her passion for animals into her life’s work.

After graduating with a masters in Business & Logistics, she decided to travel the world, working many horse-related jobs along the way. Her experience eventually led to meeting her husband Pierre — a horse trainer and teacher who was trying to build his business, but struggled to do it alone. Before long, Cynthia and Pierre teamed up to build the business together.

Skeptical that horse training could be taught online, she soon realized after launching to 400 new members that anything was possible.

Today, Cynthia shares how she turned her unique combination of skills and passions into a thriving business — and how the predictable income of a membership gives her the freedom to show up fully in business and life!

When she finished graduate school, Mary Gilkerson had a portfolio and an MFA — but not the experience, skills, or tools to support herself as a working artist. She spent the next 20 years teaching painting to women all over the world, but also found herself at a crossroads: she could either stay in academia or become more active as her art career picked up momentum.

She then started teaching painting online, but found herself challenged by launching multiple times per year. Now, at MaryGilkerson.com she takes a more holistic approach to teaching aspiring and working artists, including the skills you need to grow and run your artistic business.

Today, Mary joins the podcast to share her journey from aspiring fine artist in New York to where she is today, how her great grandfather taught her about entrepreneurship, and how the membership model allows her to offer more than just painting classes while giving her the freedom she needs to create.

Kari Schell was an accountant who loved to quilt. When she retired, she decided to see if she could do something meaningful with her quilting business. At On Point Quilter, she helps other quilters unleash the power of the Electric Quilt software. She provides 10-minute video lessons and written instructions to make using Electric Quilt a joyful experience.

She didn’t discover this winning formula overnight. At first, she focused on a number of different niches, but a campaign that led to more sign-ups and testimonials than any other in her history showed her exactly how to best serve her audience.

Today, Kari joins the podcast to talk about how she turned her passion into a means to authentically serve thousands of people, the importance of keeping it simple, and what you can do to replicate her success with your own membership site.

After 10 years of working as a school counselor, a faith-based counseling course changed Melissa Bezotte’s life forever. She launched her Christian counseling practice 10 years ago, and despite having never done any marketing, she and her team of therapists have always had a full schedule. However, Melissa’s huge waiting list for new clients meant that she was always at capacity and unable to give more of herself to people.

After working with a business coach who had a membership site of their own, Melissa launched The Inspire Collective. She helps women achieve success, balance, and freedom by providing the community, tools, and inspiration needed to take them to the next level professionally, relationally, spiritually, emotionally, and mentally. Through the membership model, she can offer more of her authentic self to her clients than ever before.

Today, Melissa joins the podcast to share the story of how the membership model solved some of her biggest personal and professional challenges, how she transitioned from business owner to online entrepreneur, and why all you need is a vision and a true understanding of your why to launch a life-changing business.

As a teenager, Jonny Wilson was told he could never have a real career as a musician, failed out of high school, and eventually became homeless. However, a drum teacher he met at 16 proved to be the mentor he needed. After traveling the world playing and studying music, he decided to build the music school he would have wanted to attend - and modeled it after his experience with that mentor.

Jonny now runs Build a Music School - a membership site that teaches others how to open life-changing music schools of their own. He cares not just about turning a profit, but making a difference - and it shows in his work. In fact, he has won the Local Hero Medal and the Young Businessperson of the Year Award in his city of Wellington, New Zealand.

Today, Jonny joins the podcast to talk about the mentor who changed his life, how he found a sustainable, fulfilling, and giving career in an industry that so few believe in, and how he makes music education accessible - and exciting - to everyone in his community.
