The Membership Model Starter Kit: How to Turn Your Service into Recurring Revenue in 3 Simple Steps

STEP 1: Map Out Your Membership Blueprint

Use this framework to go from 1:1 hustle to recurring revenue:

1. Attract:

• Build an audience with free value content
• Educate them about your unique method or solution

2. Offer:

• Create a low-barrier, high-value monthly offer (e.g. training, resources, accountability)
• Keep it simple, repeatable, and scalable

3. Retain:

• Add community or ongoing support to keep members engaged
• Use monthly check-ins, live sessions or Q&A calls

Pro tip: Start with a beta round for 10–20 people to validate and refine.

STEP 2: The Membership Idea Generator

Use this worksheet to brainstorm ideas you could turn into recurring value:

What do clients keep asking for?

• Tips, education or resources
• Templates, guides, or systems
• Accountability or coaching

What delivery format suits your lifestyle?

• Monthly training or masterclass
• Private group with weekly value drops
• Toolkit / vault access

Who is your ideal member?

• Busy mums? Gym owners? Startups?
• What problem are you helping them solve monthly?

Circle your top 3 ideas and validate them on social or with your existing audience.

STEP 3: Learn From What’s Working (3 Real Shifts)

Case Study 1: The Gym Owner
Turned a “6 week challenge” into a monthly group accountability membership for non-members, now an extra $4K/month in recurring revenue.

Case Study 2: The Social Media Manager
Created a $49/month content vault and community for small business owners who couldn’t afford done for you now has 100+ members and growing.

Case Study 3: The Allied Health Pro
Built a “digital check-in club” for past clients who needed ongoing motivation and rehab support  now earning passively each month.

Takeaway: You don’t need hundreds of people just the right offer for the right niche.
