The membership community has seen its members change as well as disappear in the past 10 years. We've seen them grow from no-thing to becoming the size of six, seven, or eight-figure enterprises. There are countless inspiring examples of membership communities, but here's some of the most impressive recent successes:

• The business organization generated $30,000 over 2 12 weeks, and included five thousand members.
  
• An health-focused member that has just added 100 top-end members (and $40,000 in ARR).
  
• An author and speaker who brought in $30,000.00 for the community's members at the end of a promotion lasting four weeks.
  

And while we love to celebrate these wins, there are tons of wonderful stories about the community and membership from groups of all sizes and shapes.

In this post, we'll show you the benefits of joining a community. Learn how to create a community with a membership fee, and provide the steps to take you from where you are and grow into a company worth six figures.

However, there aren't any guarantees. they are tried and tried methods that we've observed repeatedly.

This is a guide on how to prepare to get a six-figure member of a community.

1. Get a razor-sharp niche

This is kind of a catchy phrase now however we'll say it frequently. The best opportunities lie in niches.

Communities with too many facets.

As a host who is first time It's tempting to cast all over. Don't you want the most individuals you can in your local community?

No!

Problem is that when there's a huge group of people with unrelated interests it's hard to connect them in a meaningful way. And it's unlikely they will engage each other either.

The community you live in is reflected on its face.

It is the niche that makes it thrive. Membership communities are based upon everything from German dance to anime. From public speaking for professionals in finance to newsletters sent via email for non-profts.

Finding your niche is your greatest strength. When you're building an online membership website you'll be able to travel all over the world in seeking out people with expertise in your industry.

Star with the broad concept of the creation of an online platform before focusing on a particular niche greater than you think that you must.

2. Have a Big Purpose

We teach the subject of Community Design(tm) on Mighty the Web Every time we teach Community Design, we start with the goal.

A big goal can be the principal reason why your community exists.

Traditional businesses have a purpose statement. The membership groups that succeed have a major purpose.

We're extremely enthusiastic of communities that are able to achieve a Big Purpose and we've built it into the community engine. Every community we welcome is encouraged to pick the Big Goal.

3. Find the right family member

This is related to your area of expertise, however you should start with one Ideal member. The ideal member is the one you work with, who can only have one objective or problem that's clearly specified.

Are you curious about what you can do to determine your ideal customer? Meet them!

Once you have a good concept of what you want to accomplish, it's time to meet with prospective members. If you find it difficult you, it'll be an enjoyable experience that you have tried it.

You can ask them questions about:

• What do you struggle with?
  
• What kind of support are you looking for?
  
• What price would you be willing to pay for the desired results?
  

Doing these interviews will bring you one step closer to building a vibrant members-only community. Because it gets the idea out of your head and in the room for discussion.

Make sure you listen closely to your Ideal Participants.

• If everybody is intrigued, however, no one is willing to pay for it, you may have to consider pivoting.
  
• If the issue you've identified is not those you prefer to hear from your friends, then you might need to change your focus.
  

This is market research, therefore, you should take the issue as serious.

4. Begin by using a little

The membership communities are home to many members that join. There are many stories of the monthly membership of $50,000 in this community. We've included a couple stories at the bottom of this article.

Don't let us get off We'd like to get you there!

But even if you are only beginning, it's worthwhile to start small.

Smaller communities are better able to spend to connect. It is possible to get acquainted with everybody, which would be impossible with thousands of people.

When you've become competent in meeting the needs of 10 or 20 people within your first community, you can start scaling up to thousands of people.

     It's important to remember that there is no need for millions of people to create a flourishing community. The typical community we have on Mighty cost $48 per month. It is possible to have the capability of a community worth six figures with more than 174 members. It's not even taking into account the things most of our communities market as upsells, such as exclusive events, private coaching masterminds or even courses. You can reach six figures when you have over 30 members in the right way.

5. Make money through the sale of something

If this is the first time you've had a chance to experiment when it comes to making your own personal membership site  offer something.

Hold your breath, then rip off the Band-Aid. Make a landing page, and invite your first participants. Maybe it's a live course or an open event. Making an announcement and making it available for sale could help prove your idea of a membership-based community.

6. Think about screen

The health of your membership community is determined by the high quality of those who are part of the group. The screening process can be used to make sure you only receive the highest quality members.

It's a little counterintuitive. Are you going to turn off members? It will be more difficult for people who are new to join your group? Make it more difficult for members to join?

But, sometimes certain situations, the "negatives" are offset by a very positive: that the members of your circle actually want to join in.

Although it's difficult to say no to the newcomers, screening can increase the value of your community to those who are recognized. This is worth it in gold.

Screening may be:

• A survey that you can automate for the checkout process.
  
• It is the process of making a list of requirements that members must meet to become members.
  
• Conducting live, one-on-one and group discussions with members who are interested in joining.
  

Sometimes, it's even about saying no to people that don't fit with your business. Once you've got a flourishing community, you'll feel grateful by joining.

7. Be aware of the numbers

To go all-in on the idea of joining a community ensure that you're aware of the significance of specific numbers.

There isn't a vibrant community that has 100percent engagement all of the time.

None. Zilch.

Every community has those we would call super members or "supers". This is the 5-to-10 percent of individuals that are extremely active and invest their full effort into whatever they work on.

Most members visit and leave on occasion. There are people you don't have the privilege of seeing at all and who do not pay for membership.

The numbers are fairly normal. Be sure to not let this deter you. Be sure not to let it impact the way you live!

If someone has been enrolled in your membership community you can reap the advantages. In particular, if they're paying for the membership fee each month.

Your group might represent the dream that they've had, even if they aren't able to fully commit towards it now. Your group might provide the incentive they need to start taking smaller steps each month.

Do not make yourself available to anyone. Simply show up and complete your job, but don't overthink it.

     Be aware that groups for active people might have low participation. The CEO community might be able to scratch an important itch but that doesn't mean the people in the communities less productive. It is safe to trust them to attend and be engaged as long as they can.

8. Understand the value of membership fees.

It's simple to see an annual membership cost from your standpoint. It's the cash flow you have towards the end of the day.

However, you must consider the importance of fees for membership for your customers and also. In this case, a membership fee helps members to commit. Members who pay their fees are active. The people who pay their fees are more vigilant.

Our research also shows that the cost of membership isn't a factor in customers' decision to purchase upsells. Seventy percent of websites that are free offer upsells for paid items. Yet, 90 percent of companies that paywalled create upsells!

It suggests that the members are not only paying for benefits, but they are also willing to be willing to spend more money in exchange for the benefits. Consider this when you price your membership website.

9. Skip the free trial

Sellers of goods online typically offer a test for free. It's not required every time. Only 27 percent of the top 250 revenue-generating offer a trial for free.

Trials are completely free and can are a good idea. But, they could affect the way communities function. If you have members who are able to move between the community, engaging but unable to stay, this could impact your cohesion.

In most cases, it's more beneficial to get started in the beginning to make sure that the perfect candidate is present and then conduct the screening and make sure that people are at the door ready to commit all of their.

10. Create new deals

The most effective members, the most untapped sources of revenue are those who already pay for membership.

While it's common to say, "I'm already charging them therefore I'm not required to pay them for something different," we find that people who are engaged often require more. This could mean a very involved mastermind, 1:1 coaching or a truly amazing event that is live or online.

We don't want to charge more in order to make it simpler to you to make it easier.

However, do take a look at your current members to ensure that you're offering your customers the highest value capable of offer, even if that means an offer that's not yet been made!

11. Be sure all of your members are connected

Then we look at the communities that have achieved success. One thing they all share.

Communities that are successful have members who have become an acquaintance (that's not the hosts). The people who join the community are there for education, information, or for special occasions. They remain in the community due to the friendships they make.

That means one of the most important tasks that a Host can make is give your users the chance to make connections and build friendships. It could happen by asynchronous means, like through a prompt for discussion or in a blog post. Or it might be performed synchronously in the office as well as an in-person meeting, or even in groups that are structured or at networking gatherings.

Get out of the way and let them join.

The community you live in will benefit from the benefits.

12. Integrate your "supers" to assist

Your super-members can be an invaluable resource. Many Hosts aren't using them to their full potential. Members who are the most active of your group would like to become more involved. And you can get them to be more involved with ways that go over and beyond what is normal for membership.

• Ask them to facilitate discussions
  
• Assist them in managing the community and its content
  
• Tell their tales or pose them questions.
  
• Encourage members to reach out in order to warmly welcome new members.      
  

Every super isn't at a mutual understanding, but we've observed that there are some supers are waiting to hear from you. Don't be afraid of asking the help of their supers.

13. Choose the right platform

The biggest benefit to your members' community may be the result of the platform you choose to build your community. If you select a platform that lets you mix any type of information such as courses, community gatherings or even courses along with a powerful digital business engine, you'll be able to build the necessary elements for an effective community-based company.

In the development of our community platform, we have taken into consideration everything is required to manage an active membership community.

It means:

• The capability to make whatever kind of content you want, such as longer articles such as discussions, polls and livestreaming .
  
• Sell memberships, pre-recorded or live classes, virtual events, masterminds, group coaching, or bundle one of these in your local currency.
