The Membership Expert behind expert memberships
Let's be honest with each other...
Launching a membership is a
ROLLER-COASTER ride.
Take a look at the maths...
Because that’s what you did first, right?
And for many membership owners, the plan looks something like this:
The DREAM Plan
50 members at £50 = £2,500/month. Not too shabby a start. And sounds achievable.
Add just 20 members each month and 12 months later, you're forecasting:
270 members at £50 = £13,500/month or £162,000/year
BOOM! I'm IN
- Six figure business
- Semi-passive
- No more exchanging time for money
- AND...the holy grail: RECURRING REVENUE
What's not to love?
But then you launched (or you're preparing to), you discounted for founding members and maybe it was more like:
The POTENTIAL Reality
10 members at £25 = £250/month. (Darn that all-important missing ZERO.)
You can SEE a growth trajectory but it's slower than you anticipated...let's say you add 3 more members a month but you're not ready to raise your prices. So you've got:
51 members at £25 = £1,275/month £15,300/year
Hands-up if that feels like a LOT of work
AND you’re still a LONG way off six figures?
So let me ask you a question; is this sustainable?
How much runway do you have, if your membership takes time to grow?
Over the years I’ve worked with countless clients who’ve built incredible memberships. They've:
- Created a community
- Built a library of content
- Produced a series of masterclasses
- Hosted weekly Q&As
- Brought in guest speakers and associate coaches
And they LOVE what they're doing but they're struggling to make it viable.
Can you relate to that?
Or perhaps you haven't launched yet because this is the fear holding you back?
I want you to know this: you're not alone
I can promise you - if your numbers are better than the examples I gave above, but still below where you need for a living wage – you’re FAR from alone.
Because the truth is, without help, memberships are harder than you've been led to believe.
And some memberships struggle to get the visibility they need to get enough members to become financially sustainable, fast enough.

Are you overwhelmed by...
- The hamster-wheel of trying to build out content libraries, WHILST bringing in new members WHILST delivering the regular trainings you promised?
- The race to build your audience AND get visibility for your membership -and the frustration that nothing is working, or at least not working FAST enough
- How much time it’s taking you to deliver everything
- The constant effort to KEEP members (one in and two out = shrinking not growing)
- AND the effort to keep members ENGAGED (and you're scared if they're not participating enough they'll leave)
- The relentlessly conflicting advice – do a founding members launch, have an open-close cart, make it evergreen. Do tik-tok ads. Focus on just one platform. Don't get left behind on video
- The BATTLE with tech - sometimes it takes a full morning just to get into your system - and a week to figure out how to automate your onboarding
Do you feel like you're spinning so many plates that you could earn more as a professional plate-spinning busker?
I bet you're thinking...
Course there is - and you just landed on it.
So give yourself a pat on the back and thank your lucky stars, because when you discover what I’ve got in store for you in my little corner of the internet, you’ll realise that the Universe sent you here as a gift. And you’ll be SO glad it did.
Because the truth is…if you approach it the right way:
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE HARD
You don’t have to be doing all the things, all the time. Creating, selling, promoting, supporting, networking.
There are structures, systems, processes that can make it soooo much more manageable, which means that you can finally focus on what you set out to do in the first place: serving your members.
I’ve been running communities and memberships now for over a decade and I’ve learnt (the hard way!) everything there is to know about how to launch and grow sustainably.
I consult for some of the biggest membership-based businesses in the online world, and I want to serve and help MORE people to launch and grow their memberships so that they, in turn, can fulfil their dreams of impacting more people.
And the obvious way to do that, was to create my OWN membership, for membership owners.
And so here it is.
Drum roll please...

I hired Sam to help with community support in my pop up group as I was doing a challenge with lots of people involved. It really took the pressure off to know that I didn't need to answer everything myself. If you know you're having a busy challenge and launch, I would now say getting community support is vital.
Sam is so humble, she'll never say this herself but she's an absolute powerhouse when it comes to memberships and community building. If you're launching any kind of membership or group, her new Membership will be such a gift"
