223: Why I Closed My 170-Member Paid Membership (+ My 3 Biggest Mistakes!)

In the online space, we often talk about the good without the bad, right? When we hear about memberships, they are often praised as recurring and consistent revenue and when we think about memberships failing, it’s often because we didn’t “sell” enough. These things were NOT necessarily the case for me, and while I could have “fixed” the mistakes I made, I ultimately decided to close my 170 person membership last year. While I don’t regret it (starting it OR ending it), this episode shares the behind-the-scenes pretty vulnerably and I hope you enjoy it!   In this episode, I’m talking about all things memberships, including: What mine was (Breakthrough Brand All Access) How I created and launched it Why it ultimately didn't work How I decided to ultimately shut it down 3 mistakes I made along the way (and how to avoid them).    Make sure to tune in next week too for some of the biggest lessons I learned when launching a membership!
