Ep 322: How to Launch a Membership Site in 2026 with a *Small Audience*
About this episode
Gillian Perkins shares her experience of launching a successful membership site with a small audience and offers strategies for content management.
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: Sign up for the FREE membership class coming up on March 25th!
