FL 63 – A successful case study for membership sites

Today we learn how Jill and Josh went from a cycle of online launches to a predictable business that generates revenue every month - all online. The launch model can be really appealing. Lot's of potential cash and a rush of adrenaline, but followed by a lack of income and consistency after each launch. You will hear how they tested the subscription model with one of their smaller products - saw an immediate drop in their income yet through mistakes and learning they realized that as the memberships began to increase they are able to predict their income for the next month. It only takes a few months to figure out your retention and value of your lifetime customer when using the membership model. If you are delivering value to your membership they'll stick around, if not they'll leave. [Tweet "Memberships create predictable, steady, growing income. Launches do not."] You will learn Why a Launch Model was too complicated for them. Difficult to know your launch model numbers Quick fire products consume a lot of time Find the business model that works for you How to switch from the launch model to the continuity model Income will drastically decrease immediately Membership Sites - a slow process Make more for the lifetime of the customer rather than a one-time buy Customer has more benefits Links and resources mentioned in today's show Screw the nine to five.com BB Press Forum Profit First Book Flip Your Nine to Five Live Enjoy the podcast; we hope it inspires you to explore what's possible for your family!
