We launched and shut down 5 paid membership programs. Here's what we learned.
Paid membership programs are often promoted as really good, easy revenue for educators and entertainers alike on YouTube, but after launching 5 different paid memberships and doing everything we knew to do in order to grow it, eventually we ended up shutting every one of them down. Why?
We just shut down our most recent paid membership effort, called our Growth Network, after a year and a half of giving it everything we had.
But through that experience I think we're getting closer to the thing that's actually going to work.
In this episode I share what we tried, what happened, why I think it didn't work, and what we learned from it going forward for our business. Plus, I introduce you to a new platform we're using that's been incredible for our business.
