Episode notes
Memberships Beat Feast Or Famine Launches
- Mike realized launches create feast-or-famine income and constant stress that don't compound well.
- Learning about memberships reframed launching: start small, serve a few people, and let recurring revenue compound over time.
Sold Before Building With A Founding Launch
- Mike sold 'founding member' spots before building the membership and signed about a dozen people from a 6,000-person list.
- That presale approach removed creation risk and let him iteratively build content guided by members' needs.
Prefer Short Focused Lessons Over Long Lectures
- Do create short, focused lessons inside memberships rather than long rambling videos.
- Mike releases 5–30 minute step videos and batches mix reviews so members get precise, actionable adjustments without filler.
