Ep 322: How to Launch a Membership Site in 2026 with a *Small Audience*

In this episode, I share how I built a successful membership site, attracting 300 members and generating $10,000 in monthly revenue within a week of launch.

I debunk the myth that a large audience is necessary, focusing instead on starting with a manageable launch list and delivering just enough content to engage members.

I also discuss effective content management strategies that prevent burnout and ensure meaningful interactions.

Additionally, I share about how I'm hosting a FREE class to help aspiring entrepreneurs develop a strong content strategy for their own membership sites:
