Stu McLaren – Tribe 2020

And each module is delivered weekly to help you get maximum results.

When you apply the strategies I outline in the program, you’ll have more breathing room in your business, less stress and a lot more time for the people and things that matter.

This is all about how to identify who you will serve, what they REALLY want, and how to best serve them with the right type of membership site.

You’ll discover…

The four reasons someone joins any membership site. The REAL reason someone joins a membership is very different than what you’d expect. And when you know this, you can position yourself, your community and what you offer to really stand out. It will give you a HUGE strategic advantage.

The two must-have pieces of research you need to know about your market in order to position your membership as an “I need this” resource vs “maybe I’ll give it a try”. I’ll show you exactly how to find this information and how to use it. Knowing this, members will be MUCH more likely to stay longer – which is what you want because that’s what will give you the opportunity to really serve them and make a lot more money.

The six membership models and how to pick the one that’s right for you. Not every membership model is right for every market. That’s why I’ll walk you through selecting the one that will be the best fit for your market and the type of business you currently have.

The “less stress” membership philosophy. Everything in the Foundation Module is intentionally designed around two core beliefs that I have about membership sites – maximize profitability while minimizing stress. There are a lot of things you can do with a membership site. But one of the most important discoveries I had was if your membership site becomes overwhelming for YOU or your clients, it’s going to struggle. I’ll show you how to make it low stress, profitable and fun.

This is about you crafting content that is easy to deliver and compels people to buy.

I’ll show you exactly how to structure your content so that your members rave about the progress they’re making with the things that they’re learning from you.

That’s why I’ll share…

The “Success Path™”… which, regardless of your market, will provide your audience tremendous clarity and momentum (and that’s one of the reasons they won’t ever want to leave). I’ll walk you through creating your own Success Path™.

How to create a year’s worth of content in less than a week. This is NOT about you being stuck on any content treadmill. This is about you designing a content strategy that incorporates massive amounts of leverage, to free up time (while providing a TON of value).

The two types of must have content every membership needs. Most “hobby sites” only have one… and that’s a BIG reason why they fail long-term.

Why LOTS of content is actually the kiss of death for long-term success. If you’re thinking that you just throw a bunch of content into a members area and call it a day, you’re wrong. That won’t work. More content does NOT mean more value – it’s actually the opposite. I’ll share how much to provide, when to deliver it and in what format.

The #1 reason people cancel… and how to structure your content to avoid high cancellations. Because did you know that the timing of when you deliver your content can and will dramatically impact how long people will stay? Same content, different timing. It makes all the difference.

This is your strategy for attracting  and converting new paying members.

When it comes to marketing, there are a million things you can do. I’m going to cut through the clutter and share with you the few things that we do over and over again to add thousands of new members with every promotion.

And in this module we zoom out and look at higher level marketing strategy first.

So we’ll talk about…

Open vs. Closed marketing plans. I’ve tried both and they each work. However, one will bring 3X the results with a fraction of the effort. I’ll share multiple case studies on why there is only one option if you want year-over-year increases.

The 7 pricing strategies… and specifically the NEW trends and research  that highlight which ones will have the highest ROI in your market.

How to position your membership as a “must have” resource vs. “nice to have”.

The marketing sequence that leads to the greatest momentum and highest engagement… regardless of the size of your audience.

The 3 promotion types and the “rules of engagement” for when each should be deployed.

“Momentum stacking” and the secret behind maintaining excitement and anticipation in between launches.

 

You’ll discover:

The tactical step-by-step for growing an audience from scratch… FAST – even if you’re on a tight budget. And if you have the resources to spend on ads, you’ll see how to accelerate your growth in record time.

The subtle pre-launch commitment campaign that generates massive momentum prior to any launch… and virtually guarantees your opening week is a HUGE success.

The simple 3-part launch process and the timing of each part that broadens your reach and boosts your conversions.

Evergreen campaigns, wait list promotions and other tactical blueprints that consistently bring you a steady stream of new members month after month.

The lightening quick launch that requires no videos, no sales page and no webinar… and yet was responsible for adding over 1200 members in less than a week (at $50/month) for one of our TRIBErs!

Practical, “here’s what to say” templates for each piece of the marketing promotion. No more “writer’s block” for you.

Just be warned, many of the strategies in this module will be counter intuitive to what most people teach. But you and I don’t want “normal” results. We want a site that grows year after year – and that’s exactly what will happen for you when you implement the lessons from this module.

This is your plan for keeping people happy and paying month after month.

If you don’t have a plan for this, you’re in trouble.

If you aren’t intentional about designing a retention strategy, you will lose a lot of people each month – and therefore a lot of money. This is THE most valuable module if you want to maximize your revenue with memberships and subscriptions.

To be clear, you will lose members every month no matter what market you’re in. But what I’ll outline for you is a proven plan for minimizing drop off. In fact, based on research from thousands and thousands of my clients, TRIBErs experience some of the highest retention rates I’m aware of when it comes to information based memberships.

If you’ve ever heard that members normally only stay for 3-4 months, then you know that person does not have a solid retention plan. My clients see members staying for YEARS, not months.

So I’ll walk you through…

The real reasons people stay (there are only 4 of them)… and how knowing this will shape the way you position your content, your marketing and ultimately your retention plan.

One minor tweak that instantly tripled the lifetime customer value of a well known magazine… and how to use the same technique in your membership.

How a subtle shift in the way content was delivered reduced the “drop off rate” by 40% of a well known subscription service. It’s so easy to apply and will almost instantly boost your lifetime value.

Why the first 45 days are critical to your success… and the 7 actions you want every member taking to ensure their happiness.

Membership guidelines and rules that impact people’s perception of your community

Gamification and the role it plays in increasing your overall engagement (as well as how to implement it in a super simple way).

Launch pricing and how to use it to increase commitment from your members while also increasing the perceived value of everything that you’re doing.

This module is so jammed packed that it could be it’s own separate course. But as you’ll see, I’ve broken it down into bite sized chunks that you’ll be able to pick and choose the strategies that make sense for your site.

This module is about how to scale and grow with ease and minimal stress

My philosophy is that as the more the business grows, the less you should be involved.

But that means you need to think through…

The 4 growth stages of your membership… and why too many site owners rush the third stage which causes their sales plateau.

The critical numbers you need to know in order to really scale the membership to high 7 and 8-figure businesses.

The roles you should be looking to hire for and the timing for when you should hire them (because contrary to popular belief, you shouldn’t necessarily hire them right away).

Effective strategies for attracting highly engaged volunteers who will eagerly help you manage your community.

We found what we believe to be the needle movers. And we’ve added to the “experience” of TRIBE again and, we‘re SUPER confident that this will produce more results than ever before.

How does the PROGRAM WORK?

Everything you need will be at your fingertips

Who is TRIBE for?

Who is TRIBE NOT for?

Will this work for me?

Let’s talk about the value of this course, tuition, and what this 

What is it worth to model a marketing system that generates 6, 7 and even 8-figures every year in recurring membership sales?

And I’m going to be straight with you here. TRIBE is not some cheap program. It’s a world class, well-designed and highly-effective system that gets you results.

This kind of knowledge and these kinds of results, they are obviously 

You do have options, but only one makes sense

leverage in your business and in your life.
