The Pros and Cons of Starting a Membership Site

Amplify Your Authority

As social media changes, our public platforms become vulnerable.

• When my Facebook Ads Manager got hacked, maxing out my credit card, I knew I could get it resolved, but it was such a pain.
• Then I was locked out of my Facebook account--twice!
• My Instagram account ended up with a copycat account pretending to be me.

Okay, I'm slow, but the writing on the wall became obvious. I needed a different way to be social without social media--or less of it.

My solution was to launch a membership site.

Owning a membership site and building an engaged community unlocks opportunities to create a safe think tank that is not public.

Although there are many advantages, you must consider if a membership site is right for you.

In this podcast episode, I'll share what I've discovered about membership sites so you can make an informed decision.

• What is a membership site?
• Why would you want to start a community?
• Discover a common misconception about membership sites.
• Why community is about interaction and not a transaction

• Platforms that can host a paid community.
