Quiz Outcomes

1.
Library/Vault Membership
Image Source
Members gain unlimited access to a comprehensive digital library filled with resources like courses, PDFs, templates, and videos. This model is perfect for membership owners who already have a lot of content created, that they can turn into a vault. It's great for learners who prefer to explore at their own pace and pick and choose content that matches their needs. Note: It's best not to delay creating your membership while you create content - instead create a 'build as you go' membership and start building the content vault, which you turn into a Library membership later.
2.
Build-As-You-Go Membership
Image Source
This dynamic membership model involves members in the content creation process. Content is developed and shared in real time, through live calls, recorded classes, templates, resources etc. Members can join when you have literally nothing but a date in the calendar for your first call, then you add to it each month. Past months' content and all recordings remain in the membership and you gradually build a vault. This model means you can start a membership with no content.
3.
Do-Along Membership
Image Source
Members join the creator in real-time activities, like morning routines, workout sessions, or creative projects. This "follow-along" style is engaging and helps build a routine or habit together with the community. My amazing client, Tonya, makes over 2K per month running do-along yoga sessions, that she would be doing for herself anyway. Genius! Also, pretty soon you'll build up a vault of content you can repurpose or turn into a Library membership.
4.
Calls-Only Membership
Image Source
A calls-only membership focuses solely on providing personal access to expertise via scheduled calls, webinars, or live Q&A sessions. This model is ideal for members who value direct interaction and personalised advice without the need for additional resources or structured content. My lovely client, Anne, has a calls-only membership for her Horse-riding Confidence Coach business - her members didn't want training, they wanted access to Anne's help, so she runs 2 Zooms each month.
5.
Emails-Only Membership
Image Source
Members receive exclusive content delivered directly to their inboxes, including insightful articles, tips, and strategies. This model benefits those who prefer concise, written content that they can read at their leisure without interacting with a broader community. A great example of this is Charles Dowding's (gardener and creator of the No Dig method) paid newsletter. It runs 9 months of the year, costs £5 per month and tells you what to do in your garden each week.
6.
Community-Only Membership
Image Source
Centred around a private, paid community platform such as a Facebook group, WhatsApp, Slack, or Circle. This model encourages interaction, support, and networking among members who share similar interests or goals. It's great for building relationships and collaborative learning. An online networking group or business club is a great example of this.
7.
Exclusive Access Membership
Image Source
Provides members with VIP perks such as early access to new products, exclusive deals, and special content. This membership creates a sense of exclusivity and prestige, appealing to members who enjoy being part of an elite group. An example of this is the Silverstone F1 membership my husband joined, to get early access to tickets as they sell out fast.
8.
Paid Podcast Membership
Image Source
Offers exclusive audio content through a subscription-based podcast service. Members might receive additional perks such as bonus episodes, behind-the-scenes content, or interactive sessions with the host. More and more podcast software companies are offering paid podcasts as an option. One of my favourite is Philippa Brewell's British History Podcast, with a paid upgrade.
9.
Monthly Deep-Dive Membership
Image Source
Each month focuses on a detailed exploration of a specific topic, skill, or case study. Members receive comprehensive resources, workshops, or mini-courses designed to provide in-depth understanding in a particular area. This is what most people think of, when they picture a membership but it doesn't have to be heavy. You can create a Light-Touch™ version that is quick, easy and fun to run.
10.
Accountability & Implementation Membership
Image Source
A goal-oriented membership that includes regular check-ins, accountability partnerships, and progress tracking to help members stay on track and achieve their objectives. Ideal for those who need structure and support to reach personal or professional goals. It's so easy, especially if you already have a community or audience that needs this - set up the calls and away you go!
11.
Critique/Feedback Membership
Image Source
Tailored for individuals or groups who need regular feedback or critiques on their work, such as tutors/students, writers, artists, or marketers. This model involves no preparation but focuses on providing constructive feedback, professional critiques, and personal improvement tips during live interactions or through structured review sessions. My amazing copywriter, Tania, has a Critique membership where she gives feedback on client copywriting.
