b'So many of you have asked me questions about setting up a membership site so you could serve your audience in a bigger and deeper way. Well, I thought I better bring in someone who knows membership sites in and out, and directly ask him your burning questions, all about membership sites. I like to call Stu McLaren the Membership Man. He is, hands down, the go-to source for all things membership.\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\nIn 2008, Stu knew something had to give. He was burning the candle at both ends providing one-on-one services to clients. While his business would be seen as successful by most because the money was there, he was trading time for dollars and this was not the answer to where he saw his future. Especially one with kids in it, like he and his wife were hoping for.\\xa0\\xa0\\nLong story short, Stu decided he needed a new business model to take what he was already doing and share it in a more leveraged way -- a model that included recurring revenue. Upon the suggestion from a friend and business mentor, he started a membership site. Not only did he create a membership site for himself, but he saw a need for a tool for implementing a membership site, so he set out and created one.\\nThroughout his time working with the 70,000 clients who flocked to use WishList Member, the membership software platform Stu created, he learned a lot about what worked and what didn\\u2019t when it came to creating a membership site and he joined me on my podcast today to share all of that wisdom.\\nHere\\u2019s a snapshot of what we covered in our chat where I asked him the 10 most burning questions that you, my listener, asked:\\nWe covered\\u2026\\n\\nThe difference between a membership site and a course\\n\\nWhat kind of content you need to have inside your course\\n\\nHow to manage the content creation process\\n\\nPricing your membership site\\n\\nLaunch strategies and options for membership sites\\n\\nHaving your course as a prerequisite for you membership site\\n\\nLaunching with webinars\\n\\nIncentivizing members to join\\n\\nBottom line, almost any business can benefit from having some type of membership site. And it doesn\\u2019t have to be a lot of work to invite members in, or to create content every month. The beauty of a membership site is that you get to leverage your knowledge with the content you provide and the recurring revenue that a membership will bring to your business.\\xa0\\nStu brought so many great insights ton how to make a membership site work for you. This was truly one of my favorite episodes of the podcast.\\nAnd there\\u2019s so much more where that came from!
