45: Should You Start a Membership? The 4 Green Flags You're Actually Ready


Listen Later

"Should I start a membership?" If you've ever asked yourself this, this episode is your permission slip to pause and get real before diving in.

Today, I'm sharing the unfiltered truth about running a paid community—what works, what doesn't, and the one thing I believe no one is talking about: your membership has to benefit YOU too.

Click here for the full blog/show notes!

Inside this episode:

  • Why I refused to start a membership until it felt sustainable
  • The exact moment I knew I was ready
  • What made 406 women join my community in just 2 weeks
  • Green & red flags that tell you if you’re ready to launch a membership
  • The four things I do to keep my community alive without burning out

This is the episode I wish I had when I was on the fence about launching mine.

So whether you’re dreaming of starting a membership, struggling to keep yours going, or just curious how The Content Coven came to life—press play.

And remember: a community should support you just as much as it supports your members.

Resources & Links mentioned in the episode:

  • The Visual Edit - My signature live program (formerly called the Insta Canva Collective) that was the precursor to The Coven. This is where the community aspect first came to life.
  • Heartbeat Platform - The platform I use to host The Content Coven. It's incredible for polls, engagement, and creating that community feel.
  • The Create Connect Convert Method - The built-in curriculum inside The Content Coven with 3 modules and about 10 lessons that guide you through creating content, connecting with your audience, and converting followers into customers.
  • Previous Podcast Episode 41 - I recently talked about why the "perfect expert" vibe is out, and connection is in. It ties directly into why communities are thriving right now.
