Scott Whitaker - Accelerate: How to Get Your Next 10, 100, 500, or Even 1,000 Members

Back when I had my marketing agency, I rarely took a vacation.

If I wasnt working, I wasnt making money because I was paid by the hour a fee for service. The hourly rate was great, but with the expenses of running a company, it still required me to work all the time just to make ends meet.

Plus, to be frank, there was a little voice inside of me (I call it God, you can call it what you like), telling me I was meant to reach more people all along.

Eventually, while reading a newsletter for a membership program I belonged to, I got an idea what if I created a newsletter that could be offered to others for a subscription fee? That way my clients could receive content from me and I could afford to mail it because the actual subscribers would cover its cost.

Now, that program has grown into the Powerful Professionals Business Coaching. Of course, it is more robust with monthly Masterclasses, a vibrant Facebook Group community, live events and more but we started simple. Without that beginning we wouldnt have the community we have now.

And that would be even more tragic than Adam Levins performance at the 2019 Super Bowl.

Today it is so much easier than ever to start your membership program. With resources like Facebook Groups and video meeting software, you can literally launch for free.

In case you are thinking this just has to be all business it doesnt. Your membership program can be based on a topic you simply find interesting.

Whether for building your core business or a side passion, having a membership program gives you a way to reach more people than you ever could one-on-one. It also leverages your time because you can create a piece of content once and it can serve all of your members.

Many of my tribe members have their own membership programs in all sorts of niches.

Cathy Frost has one for her Never Diet Again program.

Mastermind member Jennifer Sanchez created one for her Med Spa clients.

Powerful Professionals Business Coaching member David Stetzel has one for his Cyber Security focused niche and Valerie Hart built one for those who want to communicate better with their pets.

Mastermind member Todd Tramonte created one for other realtors and Tristan and Sabrina Truscott have one for Dojos and healers.

Some are business. Some are not. All are incredible in that they are changing lives and leveraging time.

Through membership programs, we can create content once, yet earn revenue over and over again. Plus, we are able to serve a lot more people in this platform than we ever could if we tried to assist everyone one-on-one.

Ive worked with Scott Whitaker on my membership program for the past year. Hes helped not only with its vision, but also its scale and growth. Plus, he helped me launch two Mastermind programs in the past year... one of my favorite things ever in my career.
