215: Inside the Business of Membership Sites with Libby Rothschild


Listen Later

In this episode of the Dietitian Success Podcast, I sit down with Libby Rothschild, the founder of Dietitian Boss, for a real-talk, behind-the-scenes look at what it actually takes to run a successful membership site. Both of us have years of experience in running memberships for dietitians, and we’re opening the vault to share our wins, our challenges, and the evolution of our models. 

We talk about the difference between content, coaching, and community-based memberships, how to manage churn and retention, what metrics matter most, and whether this business model is truly “passive income” (spoiler: it’s not). Plus, we dive into tech platforms like Kajabi, WordPress, and how we think about content planning and delivery.

Whether you're a dietitian thinking about launching a membership or just curious about how the model works, this episode is packed with actionable takeaways and honest insights.
