What we learned from launching and shutting down 5 paid membership programs [Ep. #300]

<p>Paid membership programs are often promoted as really good, easy revenue for educators and entertainers alike on YouTube, but after launching 5 different paid memberships and doing everything we knew to do in order to grow it, eventually we ended up shutting every one of them down. Why?</p> <p>We just shut down our most recent paid membership effort, called The Growth Network, after a year and a half of giving it everything we had.</p> <p>But through that experience, I think we're getting closer to the thing that's actually going to work.</p> <p>In this episode I share what we tried, what happened, why I think it didn't work, and what we learned from it going forward for our business. Plus, I introduce you to a new platform we're using that's been incredible for our business.</p> <p>JOIN ME IN VOLLEY!
