In this episode, I share some of the coolest and most creative membership ideas I’ve come across recently.
Along the way, I break down real-life examples from other membership sites that inspired me. In particular, we look at creative ways they engage members, improve onboarding, and help their communities stand out.
Whether you want to refresh your own membership or simply need creative inspiration, these ideas can spark new possibilities. Most importantly, they’re practical and easy to test.
So tune in to hear what’s working right now—and what you might want to try for yourself.
In this episode:
- How can using real member voices in promos build trust and increase conversions?
- What onboarding tactics help new members feel seen, supported, and ready for success?
- Why does personalization matter more than ever, and how can tools like video assessments help?
- What does a hybrid membership model look like, and why might it become the future of community building?
Key Quotes & Takeaways:
“I like to join other memberships to see what they're doing well, see what could be improved, see what cool new trends they've been implementing, new innovations and ideas. And yeah, like, I make that a regular part of what I do.”
“You are so confident that the things people say when you're not in the room are so powerful and compelling that you are willing to step away from for something that could actually be a significant sales event as part of this promotion.”
“The way in which Maggie uses Videoask to create what feels like a personal, real time, almost intimate, actual physical assessment that just blew me away.”
“Andrew and Pete, I feel, are the first people I've seen like really properly put the flag in the sand with their new membership that this is a hybrid membership. And by hybrid membership I mean online and offline.”
