The #1 membership podcast for founders wanting to create an online membership community that sells, scales, delivers world class results and gives you a life you're obsessed with... (no dry tech bro vibes - here).  What started as a limited edition 9-part series quickly turned into a weekly show once message after message poured in from coaches and service providers saying how impactful it was. So—we kept it going. Every Monday, I pull back the curtain and show you exactly how to build a membership community that sells, scales, and delivers world-class results. You’ll learn how to turn your 1:1 service into a scalable membership model that generates predictable monthly recurring revenue—without burning yourself out. Inside, you’ll discover proven strategies for: - Creating and launching a membership program (we talk low ticket, mid ticket AND high ticket membership masterminds here)  - Automating member acquisition and retention - Scaling your online membership community - Strategies to grow a tight knit community (because memberships run on retention) - Building passive income streams through memberships - Growing recurring revenue while actually getting your time back - Transitioning from service provider to membership owner And that's just the tip of the iceberg.... This is for the coaches, consultants, service providers, and practitioners who are ready to set the standard in their industry with a membership that actually works—for you and your clients. If you’re ready to stop chasing clients, escape the feast-or-famine cycle, and build a membership business you’re obsessed with… hit subscribe and tune in every Monday.

    I Wasn't Supposed to Be Successful (Wilderness Program, Drug Dealers & a Lake House?!)

    ◽ Join Million Dollar Memberships Club → https://paigevandy.com/million-dollar-memberships-club  ◽ Work with Paige privately → https://paige749061.typeform.com/to/EL04fjb3   ⬛ Starter Kit: Leave a review on Apple Podcasts → screenshot before hitting submit → email to support@paigevandy.com and we'll send you a free course. This episode is different. It's not a strategy episode. It's not a framework. It's the story I don't lead with often — the one that started long before the memberships, the income, and the lake house I journal-manifested in 2018. I'm talking about being sent to a wilderness program at 15, getting kicked out of boarding school at 18 with nowhere to go, living with people I had no business living with, carrying bear spray just to get from my car to my apartment, and sneaking cheese and bread into my purse because I couldn't afford groceries after rent. I was in survival mode for most of my teenage and young adult years. By most measures, I was not supposed to be successful. But I built something anyway. And then I rebuilt it. And then I walked away from a 7-figure membership business to start over — alone, pregnant, living in a temp home, drowning in legal bills — because I knew I needed to go all in on one thing if I was ever going to build the life I actually wanted for myself and my daughter Grey. This episode is the full story. The hard parts, the pivots, the vision I kept coming back to — and what finally happened when I stopped doing everything and committed to one niche, one offer, one model. If you've ever doubted whether your membership can be the thing that changes your life — this one's for you.   You'll discover: Why people with hard pasts often make the best entrepreneurs — and what that actually means for how you build How 1:1 coaching nearly suffocated Paige's business before she made the switch to memberships What it looked like to walk away from a 7-figure business and start completely over Why being too broadly niched was quietly sabotaging Paige's growth — even when revenue looked good How Paige kept her income running through pregnancy as a single mom — without being on calls The journaling and visualization practice from 2018 that led directly to signing papers on her dream lake house Why most people quit memberships too early — and what to do instead when growth feels slow or messy If this episode lit something up for you — share it with someone who needs to hear it. Sometimes the story is the strategy. ◽ Instagram → @themembershipmuse ◽ YouTube → @themembershipmuse Million Dollar Memberships Podcast is the go-to show for membership site owners and online community builders who are serious about scaling recurring revenue. Hosted by Paige Vandy, founder of Million Dollar Memberships Club, each episode delivers real strategy, behind-the-scenes insights, and the honest truth about what it actually takes to build a membership business that lasts — from launch through 7 figures and beyond.

    57. How to Hire for Your Membership: Your First Role, Where to Find Them & How to Scale Through Member Roles

    ▸ Join Million Dollar Memberships Club → https://paigevandy.com/million-dollar-memberships-club ▸ Free Membership Training → https://paigevandy.com/masterclass-opt-in ▸ Work with Paige privately → https://paige749061.typeform.com/to/EL04fjb3   ⭐ Starter Kit: Leave a review on Apple Podcasts → screenshot it before you hit submit → email it to support@paigevandy.com   Most business coaches will tell you your first hire should be a virtual assistant. Paige disagrees — and she's been building and scaling memberships since 2019. In this episode, she breaks down exactly who your first hire should be, why hiring from inside your community almost always wins, and how to create a legacy membership by giving members real roles, real growth, and real reasons to stay.   You'll discover: Why the fear of hiring is usually about missing processes — not the actual hiring Why a community manager (not a VA) should be your very first membership hire The two ways to find a community manager and why hiring from within your community wins every time How hiring from within actually builds culture and signals internal growth opportunity to your members Why retention is 70%+ of your membership revenue — and how your first hire directly protects it How to create volunteer roles inside your community to deepen engagement and keep your best members motivated to stay The exact progression from first hire → community manager → volunteer roles → paid roles → legacy membership If this episode landed for you, Paige wants to hear from you — leave a review on Apple Podcasts and let her know where you are in your membership journey (just starting out, or actively scaling?). She's checking reviews all week and using them to shape future episodes. ▸ Instagram: @themembershipmuse ▸ YouTube: @themembershipmuse Million Dollar Memberships is the go-to podcast for online membership and community builders who want to go beyond the basics. While most business podcasts give generalist advice, this show goes deep on the strategies that actually move the needle for membership-specific businesses — from retention to team-building to scaling past $100K/month MRR.
