You're out there creating content, sending emails, showing up on social media, being so generous with your expertise... and wondering why people aren't joining your membership at the rate you'd expect.

Here's what might be happening: you're giving tips when you should be sharing your point of view.

In this episode, I'm making the case that tips are dead as a membership sales strategy in 2026.

The thing that will make people choose you, stay with you, and see your membership as the only option for them is your unique perspective on how to solve the problem you solve.

And the good news? You're already sitting on it.

We'll cover how your point of view becomes your most powerful sales tool (and why no tactic or strategy works without it), how to turn your opinions and expertise into branded frameworks that differentiate your membership, and why leaning into your perspective makes your business feel alive again, especially when the marketing starts to feel stale.

Your membership isn't dead... but is it truly alive?

If your membership feels like it's in a state of suspended reality, where things aren't falling apart but they're definitely not thriving, this episode is your diagnostic.

Before you look at sales strategies, repositioning, or messaging fixes, there's a deeper question to answer first... are you actually sold on your own membership? Because it's incredibly hard to grow an offer you're not fully bought into.

In this episode, I'm walking you through the three sneaky things that create resistance to selling your membership, and why resolving them can be so much faster (and less dramatic) than you think.

We'll cover:

• The concept of "Schrödinger's Membership" and why so many membership owners are stuck in a fuzzy middle ground with their offer
• The three things to address before you touch your sales strategy (and why tackling them first makes everything else easier)
• Why your membership needs its own lane and the dangerous pattern of replicating your higher-priced offers at a lower price point

You know that feeling when something's just *off* inside your membership?

Members aren't engaging the way you'd hoped, the energy feels flat, and you're starting to wonder if the whole thing needs an overhaul?

Before you raise the price, restructure the offer, or spiral into second-guessing everything you've built, there are three practical things you can do to bring the vibe back to life.

In this episode, I'm walking you through what's really going on when your membership feels off, why your instincts to "do more" or "back off completely" are both leading you astray, and the three shifts that will help you reconnect with your members and sell your membership with confidence again.

We'll cover:

1. Why memberships have a completely different engagement style than group programs or 1:1 work, and how mismatched expectations are messing with your head
2. Why your first instinct when the vibe feels off (do more OR back off) is almost always wrong
3. The two-part internal structure every membership needs and how to tell if yours has gaps
4. How to bring your philosophy and point of view into the room so members actually feel the energy you're known for
5. The connection question that will help you rediscover what makes your membership fun to run (and irresistible to join)

If you've been sensing that something feels a little flat inside your membership but you can't quite put your finger on it, this episode will help you fix it without blowing everything up.

There's a crucial difference between knowing how to launch and knowing how to grow a membership sustainably, and understanding this distinction will change the way you sell.

If you've been caught in a cycle where each launch catches you by surprise, each promotion feels like starting from scratch, or you're constantly winging it with your membership growth, this episode is for you.

My brilliant client Dr. Michelle Mazur is joining me to share how she grew her annual membership, The Expert Up Club, into a $10K/month revenue stream — and the work we did together to create more organized, strategic membership growth instead of “flying by the seat of her pants” (in Michelle’s words!) with quarterly launches.

Michelle works with consultants and service providers to make marketing suck less through powerful messaging and positioning work, and she's applied those same principles to refine how she promotes her own membership.

We'll cover:

🔹 How we re-worked Michelle's membership growth strategy so she could launch differently without sacrificing her results

🔹 The new sales assets that Michelle can re-mix and reuse across the year to grow her membership, instead of always starting from scratch

🔹 What changed to help Michelle hit her highest number of sign-ups ever for a promotional event that led into her launch... and a 48% live show-up rate {which is truly bananas}.

🔹 How Michelle is hitting her enrollment goals and creating more predictable launch results... without guessing or scrambling to pull everything together at the last minute.

🎧 ​Listen in to hear how Michelle made her membership her core revenue driver and what we've done to dial in the way she is growing it.​

Michelle's promotions are getting more attention than ever before, and her launches don't kick her ass like they used to (in her words)!

I've had a ton of fun supporting her growth and I think you'll learn a lot from her story.

Does your membership revenue feel random? You're working hard behind the scenes, your members are happy, but when it comes to growing your income and hitting your goals, things feel unpredictable.

If you've been frustrated by plateaued growth or can't seem to break out of the "nice little baseline" zone with your membership, let's talk about what you can do differently!

In this episode, I'm walking you through the three critical mindset and operational shifts that separate membership owners who are just maintaining from those who are truly membership-driven.

It's time to stop guessing your way through growth.

We'll cover:

1. The three shifts from treating your membership like a side offer to becoming truly membership-driven
2. Why your super fans might be holding you back from attracting new members (and what to do about it)
3. The difference between knowing your numbers and guessing at growth strategies
4. How to stop the cycle of trying everything without knowing what actually works

If you're ready to move from accidental growth to intentional, predictable revenue with your membership, this episode is for you.

What if building one skill could simultaneously improve how you sell your membership, enhance your member experience, boost retention, AND give you clearer revenue forecasting?

That skill is learning how to position a compelling 12-month membership tier... even if you have no plans to actually offer one.

In this episode, I'm breaking down why thinking through an annual membership offer will make you better at selling and retaining members across every pricing tier, plus open up revenue opportunities you might not be seeing right now.

Whether you currently offer monthly-only, already have an annual tier that nobody buys, or you're curious about adding longer-term commitments to your membership, this episode will shift how you think about long-term value and member journeys.

We'll cover:

1. Why approximately 20% of your audience would love to pay you upfront for a year (and how this changes your cashflow and forecasting)
2. The difference between pathway and ritual in your membership (and why this clarity makes you better at selling monthly plans too)
3. How mapping a 12-month member journey forces you to improve your experience and retention behind the scenes
4. The three ways to grow revenue from annual commitments beyond just selling them upfront
5. Why vague membership growth goals keep you guessing (and how to set strategic, specific targets instead)

If you want to grow your membership revenue this year through more than just adding new members, understanding annual positioning is the strategic advantage you've been missing.

Jamar Diggs said he'd never start a membership — until he did.

He thought they were a time and energy suck that required endless content drops.

So: he decided to do something different.

He launched his membership, the Low-Lift Club: which doesn't deliver monthly content or require Jamar to be endlessly available in his community, answering questions on demand...

And his members love it.

Fast-forward two years, and the Low-Lift Club is now Jamar's main source of income.

Recently, he celebrated his highest (and most profitable) month of income yet.

Jamar is my client inside The Membership Growth Gameplan and it's been a delight to support him as he's grown his membership in leaps and bounds this year.

I invited him onto the podcast to talk about:

1. How Jamar knew it was time to make the shift from focusing on member experience to membership growth
2. The strategy we put in place to help Jamar grow his membership on evergreen
3. How Jamar and I set sales goals for his membership (that he was originally skeptical he could achieve!) and what it took for him to hit or exceed those goals, every single time
4. How we layered a more thoughtful sales strategy over what Jamar was already doing to grow his membership, so he didn't have to re-invent his natural marketing style to create better results

Jamar is proof that you can create a membership where you are present and able to serve people sustainably, as long you put the right boundaries in place and design around how you like to work.

We brought this same level of intention to his membership sales strategy — and his membership is growing like never before.
