If you’ve been overthinking whether your membership needs a full curriculum, tons of modules, or a massive content vault to feel “valuable enough,” this episode will simplify everything. Most founders assume more content equals more value. But that belief can quietly hurt your retention, overwhelm your members, and create unnecessary pressure for you as the founder. Paige walks you through how to think about structure the right way, how to decide if your transformation requires a roadmap, and how to build a membership people actually stay in month after month. You’ll discover: 🏴 The real difference between a course and a true membership model 🏴 When a structured roadmap increases clarity instead of overwhelm 🏴 Why turning your membership into a content vault can decrease retention 🏴 The biggest mistake founders make when adding modules “just in case” 🏴 How to decide if your membership needs a core curriculum or ongoing live support 🏴 The hybrid structure Paige recommends for long-term retention and recurring revenue If you’re building your membership right now and questioning whether it’s “big enough” or structured correctly, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to move forward without overbuilding.   More From Million Dollar Memberships Podcast: Free Training: The 4-Part System to Launch & Scale a 6 & 7 Figure Membership https://paigevandy.com/masterclass-opt-in Ready to start or grow your membership?

    39. Year 1 Membership Non-Negotiables: 7 Rules to Set Your Community Up for 7-Figure Growth

    🏴 NEW LIVE MASTERCLASS DATE: Feb 5th, 2026 Build a Sticky AF Membership Community, REGISTER FOR FREE BELOW: https://paigevandy.com/live-masterclass-sticky-community#/   🏴 Join Million Dollar Memberships Club https://paigevandy.com/million-dollar-memberships-club   In this episode, Paige breaks down the absolute non-negotiable focus points every membership founder must prioritize in their first year if they want to build a community that actually scales. If you’re in year one of your membership — or even if you’re past year one — this episode is a must-listen to make sure you haven’t skipped the foundations that drive long-term growth, retention, and momentum.   Because here’s the truth: memberships don’t scale because of more content — they scale because of culture, clarity, and community. Paige walks you through the exact areas she sees founders overlook the most… and why skipping these basics is often the reason memberships stall, churn stays high, or the business starts to feel heavy instead of sustainable.   You’ll discover: ✔️ Why community building must come before content — and how member-to-member connection is what actually keeps people paying ✔️ How to start lean without under-delivering (and why adding too much too soon hurts growth) ✔️ What a clear success path really looks like — and why confusion is the fastest way to lose members ✔️ Why founder-led presence matters so much in year one (and when to bring in support later) ✔️ The importance of a consistent weekly cadence members can rely on — even if it feels “boring” to you ✔️ Why retention must be a priority from day one, not something you fix later ✔️ How member celebration and recognition directly impacts engagement, culture, and longevity At the end of the day, every single one of these non-negotiables comes down to two things: Building culture. And setting your members up for success.   If you want a membership that lasts — not one that fizzles out after the honeymoon phase — this episode lays the foundation.   More From Million Dollar Memberships Podcast:   Free Training: The 4-Part System to Launch & Scale a 6 & 7 Figure Membership 🏴 https://paigevandy.com/masterclass-opt-in   Ready to start or grow your membership?

    FREE MASTERCLASS: BUILD A STICKY AF MEMBERSHIP COMMUNITY 🏴 Register here: https://paigevandy.com/live-masterclass-sticky-community#/   In this episode, Paige breaks down the single most overlooked focus that separates struggling memberships from 7-figure, long-term communities — and spoiler: it has nothing to do with getting more sign-ups.   Most membership founders spend their time chasing new members or pumping out endless content… while completely ignoring the one thing that actually determines whether a membership grows, plateaus, or quietly crumbles.
