Why having a small audience actually gives you an advantage when it comes to launching a membership site.
Why keeping your content quick and simple will actually help your members stay longer and achieve better results (and keep you off the constant content treadmill!)

This was awesome. I'm a freelance SEO copywriter with a ton of other business skills. I've been considering starting a membership site for most of 2023, but felt overwhelmed by the thought of creating a ton of content. I joined a low ticket membership a few months ago, and left because of the overload of information. Now, watching your video, I'm ready to start actualising my content. I got let go this week, twice this year, even though I've achieved incredible results for the company. They're hiring writers from countries where they can pay less. It's a wake up call to start doing something for myself that lights me up.

[@CHENECHAMBERS]

THANK YOU FOR THIS CONTENT. This was Amazing.. It gave my confidents a boost. Thank you. I needed this. On my way the watch more! Thank You Carrie!

[@themassageER]

Thank you both for creating a space for questions and learning. I am so grateful, I have a great idea that could help so much people in pain and with Carrie's support and Stu's knowledge I think I'll be able to give it to the world. I'll see you in the group.

[@ugotcurlz]

After taking his Tribe course and being apart of Tribe membership, this clicks even more! Thank you for re-sharing this.

[@spiritualistabeautique]

This was SO helpful!! Thank you! You put my mind to ease with some concerns I was having. I love the focus on implementation vs information. As a Virgo, I like to dig deep... I was worried that it would make it all too heavy to process within a short period of time. This helped a lot! 🌺💕🙏🏽

[@jeffconsiglio1307]

Liked for being real, genuine, and realistic. As opposed to all the over-hyped content put out by most membership-site and "product launch" gurus.

[@mikamik205]

Loved watching! June 8, 2024 this info was 🔥🔥🔥! Thank you both!

[@sekgaboseselamarumo7483]

Stu was dropping gems! I loved it. I want to start an online membership tutorial club for students. unlucky I found this late. But thank you.

[@Ijustwannatalk_lexi]

Cliff notes!!!

[@mediamusicmastery9348]

Stu is so smiley! I love it!

[@christyb3942]

So good! Thank you Carrie! 🙏🏻💕

[@teenagedream06]

this was SO good learned so much and the mindset about less is more in term of content is so good to hear and reassuring. Loved it

[@raheitahiti2742]

So much value in this video!!! Thank youuu

[@WendyRaycroft]

You guys are amazing!! What an exciting video and time. Thank you for sharing!

[@xo_vannie]

Love this! Was just what I needed to hear this week as I’m building my membership academy behind the scenes while growing my audience.

[@Angell_Lee]

Beautiful interview and stellar host, thank you so much Carrie! Keep up the amazing work! xo

[@lexiaotiqin]

Thanks for this - so positive and encouraging! I really appreciate it. I think once I hear it 11 times I'll push "go" and launch, hehe. :-)

[@sonjagalyon-kamonika]

Thank you for such great advice. Simplicity is the key to success

[@iloveyoutrell]

WOW! Carrie, I found this video 2 years later and this had so many relevant gems! I thank you and Stu for sharing and empowering folks such as myself to create my membership site but moreso in a way that is strategic and won't cause burnout. One of the things I've noticed after subscribing to a membership site, the content isn't updated enough to hold my attention but batch creating and simplifying the content sounds like the best way not to fall into that rut. Thank you so much for this video! ☺

[@melissacaetanoviveremconex4344]

Thanks, thanks, thanks!!!

[@walktalkwithmarlene9613]

Carrie, I’ve learned so much from the video. When will Stu be launching his next workshop? I heard it’s once a year and it’s now one year later.

[@LibbyParker]

Awesome video!! So curious about pricing a membership group that is primarily live support groups and coaching calls (group)?

[@Samstownusa]

Sooooo much gold here

[@jzk2020]

The wake away... *keep it simple* - *focus on small baby steps & PROGRESS*

[@walktalkwithmarlene9613]

Hello Carrie, enjoyed the video. When will Stu be hosting his next workshop? It’s 2021, one year from the time you guys discussed the event.

[@allyfortis]

Why no one is talking that the majority of these people actually paid ads online. Carrie is advertising online even though she has a big audience. Speak about this too

[@andybodyweight]

ads help a lot. i dont know whats wrong with that

[@staraffirmations]

​@andybodyweight more money. Its called scaling up. When you make more money you want more stuff so then you have more expenses and you need to make more money so ADs will help with that

[@Noosa21]

Inspiring, thankyou kindly. from David in Sydney

[@judyrafat]

O goodness I remember Coles Notes- i come from London Ontario!

[@seemagenche]

thank you so much! what's the membership hosting platform called? i might have missed that!

[@nancys3052]

The link to the membership facebook page isn't working can you double check pls I'd love to join. Thanks for a great session with Stu

[@mslikenootha]

9:20 Yaaaasss and 2 years later parents are STILL in the dark and the kids are WORSE in phonics and reading than before the pandemic☹️and so I not only tutor phonics for reading and now doing free parent reading workshops, but am literally going to create a membership off the back of the workshops. I get kids reading in 4-6 months and everyone is wondering HOW😉and that is my leverage to help build my phonics for reading membership club

[@Erie196]

Carrie, I tried your membership site about a year ago but I left because like Stu said, I was so overwhelmed with too much information and felt that I should leave because I couldn't get through all of it! I appreciate all the information you give but it may be too much. I hope to try your site again later!

[@KruAnnieBennett]

Erie196 hey I left too!! I think 2 years ago because I didn’t have vision and purpose what I’m there for!! But now I have Goal and Vision what I want for my business it’s so worth it now!! Now I’m back again first month and have gain so much knowledge eg: Branding and How To Launch... the thing is soon I learn I implement it right away to my business!! In the past I felt exactly the same but now I know it’s me who wasn’t ready for the site ❤️❤️❤️

[@esierose]

I’m gonna be honest, I’ve never heard of you but I got your book in the post today but idk who from 😂

[@pattiobrien-richardson1881]

I’m at the end of a 6-week membership with a group. Would you follow that with another 6-week membership or a monthly membership?

[@staraffirmations]

Im starting to grow my audience and dont want to wait until i get monetized. What about starting a community in Skool?

[@lalita_tripura4420]

Can you tell me the name of the tool that you speak of with the virtual networking sessions ? Something bloom ?

[@feathersofitaly]

What platform is best to use for a small membership site which has already built in designs and funnel for me to create content within if I don’t know what I’m doing.

[@ungarlinski7965]

I'm not an extrovert though. What to do?

[@kasforai]

How to create paid content?

[@GeorgiexoxoTV]

I'd love to do this on my Wordpress.org. Does anyone recommend good software for this? xo

[@moniquecatesby4073]

ClickFunnels or lead pages to get started, unless you have a decent plugin for Wordpress I have just moved from Wordpress to lead pages

[@kareema2001]

woocoomerce memrship is very helpfull

[@TeachLikeBianca]

There are a variety of plug-ins for membership. It might weigh down your site so choose wisely...or make a sub-domain.

[@GeorgiexoxoTV]

@@TeachLikeBianca thank you so much Bianca! xoxo

[@davidbarr6203]

Hi Georgie. I am interested to know what you ended up doing? Could you share your experience?
