Sign up for Stu’s workshop

 
On this week’s episode of “Simple Steps to Online Success” we’ll continue to talk about creating a membership site for your online business.
 
Over the past couple of weeks, I have covered whether a membership model might be the right choice for your business and what type of content should go in your membership.
 
But now we must address the elephant in the room…
 
The dreaded “T” word…
 
Tech πŸ˜±πŸ˜±πŸ˜±
 
“Deanna, that’s great! A membership sounds like a great fit for my business, but, what do I NEED to have a membership site?”
 
As with all things tech, the answer is “it depends”.
 
(Yeah, I realize that you may hate that answer. But it’s true)
 
To start with, you really may not need much at all.
 
Join me when we discuss your blueprint to a successful membership site

Course or membership? What's the right choice for you?

 
As you create your digital products business, you may be pondering this question:
 
“Should I create a digital COURSE or a MEMBERSHIP?”
 
While similar (they both deliver educational content) the structure and strategy behind them can be quite different.
 
On this week’s Simple Steps to Online Success Live, I’ll review the pros and cons of each type of offering, along with ideas on how to implement BOTH in your business.
 
See you then!
