176 – Sell Once and Get Paid Again and Again – with Stu McLaren

Planning, Sales & Marketing

Today I have a VERY special treat for you.

Maybe you’ve noticed…
… membership and subscription businesses are thriving.

Even in the midst of a massive pandemic, companies worldwide are having to shift and adjust to the new economy. And those who have incorporated subscriptions and membership business models are seeing massive growth.

Why? It’s actually quite simple. Because a membership business model establishes predictable and reliable income month after month, regardless of a shaking economy. And right now… who doesn’t need that?!

If you want the blueprint for how to create a membership business of your own, then you’re in the right place. Because my special guest today is membership site expert, Stu Mclaren of the TRIBE Experience.

In this interview, we talk about how you can get clients paying you every single month. When you create a membership inside of your business you create reliable revenue every single month… and the best news is that you can build a successful membership business around what you already, know, love, and do! And you can do it whether you sell products or services… and, whether you have low-cost offers, or high-priced consulting.

I’ve had a membership-based business for over 25 years and I swear by this business model, beyond any other (and I’ve had a few), because it makes for a more predictable income.

Every. Single. Month.

BONUS GIFT – FREE WORKSHOP WITH STU MCLAREN

Get access to Stu’s NEW FREE three-part workshop called “Turn What You Already Know, Love and Do into a Profitable Membership”.

Stu McLaren is well known around the online business industry as the leading membership expert (he’s also been a mentor of mine for the last four years).

I am a big fan of Stu’s because not only is the go-to guy for savvy business owners who want to launch a successful membership… even if they are starting from scratch.

Stu’s strategies and insights are proven and have helped thousands of people — including many of HerBusiness Network members — helping them to jumpstart thriving memberships across thousands of different niches.

As you’ll hear in this interview, the best part of growing a membership is that you don’t need a big email list to achieve success with a membership.

You don’t need to be super-savvy with tech. And you don’t need a huge social media following either. All you need is passion and motivation to serve a specific group of people.

With Stu’s teachings, you can leverage your passion and the experience you already have to create steady and predictable income every month.
