AUDIO: Interview With Stu McLaren

By in Audio Lessons, Membership Training | Comments { 10 }

Recently I was interviewed by Mike Litman about my success/growth as a startup entrepreneur.

I think you’ll really dig this interview because not only does Mike’s energy draw you in but he pulled out stories that I haven’t shared in a long time – including my “first sale” (and I attribute everything I’ve accomplished to this and the “twist” actually gets me a little choked up everytime I share it).

There are lots of good nuggets and the tips I share about building a successful business definitely apply to membership sites.

You can download the whole 40 minute interview or listen to it below…

My Worst Interview Ever

By in Articles, Membership Training | Comments { 8 }

A “bad” interview is pretty obvious right away.

You can often tell pretty early on if the person asking the questions hasn’t done much research or if the interviewee is uncomfortable with the line of questioning.

Extended silences and awkward pauses make everyone involved (including your members) uncomfortable. This leads to members being uninterested and leaving.

This leads me to my own experience in a certain interview…

So what can you learn from the worst interview I’ve ever had? Plenty!

Membership Site Masters – The Tester

Chapter #4 – The Tester

In this interview you’ll hear from someone we call THE TESTER.

Creating a successful membership site is easy. You only really have to do 2 things – get new members and keep them.

But not all membership sites are a success – so what’s the difference?

The money is in the little details that can swing a site from making a few thousand a month to making hundreds of thousands a month.

During this interview, you’ll get a unique perspective from someone who has successfully discovered some of those “details” that have turned his membership site into millions.

Chapter #3 – The Community Cultivator

In this interview you’ll hear from someone we call THE COMMUNITY CULTIVATOR.

Skeptics will say that it’s impossible to build a profitable membership site in a “soft” market (meaning something that doesn’t have to do with making money).

But after listening to this interview, they would quickly realize they’re wrong.

This person has been successfully running his membership site for years in a tiny, obscure niche and has managed to find a way to attract over 4500 paying members.

Chapter #2 – The Freebie Genie

Let Them Help You (with Interviews) – Part 2

By in Articles, Membership Training | Comments { 3 }

Interviews are an effective way to inject variety into your membership site.

No matter how well informed you may be (perhaps you’re a recognized authority) there are others who can share interesting thoughts or unique experiences in a different voice.

A fresh take or new point of view will make your subject matter that much more exciting and desirable to your members.

But do you know how to best conduct an interview?
