If you're tired of chasing one-off ebook/course sales and want income that stacks every month, a low-key membership is the fastest, simplest path—built with tools you already use (Zoom + Facebook/WhatsApp + your email service). In my latest Blogger Genius episode, I break down the exact approach (plus 2 copy-and-paste AI prompts) to design, launch, and grow a membership that compounds without burning you out. Show Notes: MiloTree Free Plan Low-Key Membership Prompt Pack Digital Product Ladder AI Prompt (Free Download) 6 Purchasing Triggers Test Join The Blogger Genius Newsletter Become a Blogger Genius Facebook Group Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: iTunes YouTube Spotify TL;DR (Problem → Solution) Problem: One-off product sales force you to keep launching and promoting to make money and for many people that is hard. Solution: A low-key membership: 2 Zoom sessions/month + lightweight community + simple emails. That's it. Recurring payments keep coming in—even when you're not launching. Why “Low-Key Memberships” Win in 2025 Recurring revenue > one-offs: Each new member adds to your baseline. Members stay for community, not modules: Overstuffed content = churn. Connection and momentum = retention. Zero tech headaches: Use platforms people already check daily (FB/WhatsApp) and Zoom they already know. Real-world results shared in the episode: Weight-loss creator: $300/mo → $2,800/mo with Zoom + private FB group. Anxiety coach: $4,100/mo with WhatsApp + biweekly calls. Your Starter Stack (Keep It Simple) Delivery: 2 Zoom sessions/month (Teaching + Q&A). Community: Facebook Group or WhatsApp for quick wins + peer support. Communication: Your existing email service provider (Mailchimp, MailerLite, Flodesk, ConvertKit). Payments & pages: MiloTree—AI sales pages, Stripe checkout, recurring billing. Start free to grow your list; upgrade when you're ready to accept membership payments. 7-Day Launch Plan (No Pre-Recorded Library) Day 1: Pick your promise (one painful problem you'll help members solve monthly). Day 2: Post your interest waitlist with a freebie (see below). Day 3: Price: $27–$97/mo. Add a 10× annual option (e.g., $47/mo or $470/yr). Day 4: Create an outline for your first month's sessions. Day 5: Open your MiloTree membership (AI sales page + Stripe billing). Day 6: DM warm leads (from FB groups/WhatsApp/LinkedIn) with your waitlist link. Day 7: Host a founders' kickoff (set expectations, celebrate early wins). Pro tip: Build with your members. Teach what they ask for next. That “fluid plan” keeps content laser-relevant and retention high. Copy-and-Paste AI Prompts (Use These to Build It Fast) Prompt #1 — Design your membership “Design a low-key membership for my expertise in [YOUR NICHE]. I want something simple that builds community using free platforms people already know. First, validate my niche using these six purchasing triggers: makes money, saves money, saves time, moves toward happiness, moves away from pain, raises social status (explain which apply). Then create a concept that: meets twice monthly (1 teaching call, 1 Q&A via Zoom); uses Facebook Groups/Discord/WhatsApp for interaction; uses email for schedules/recordings/updates; focuses on implementation (not info overload); builds naturally without tons of pre-created content; develops a supportive community; and is priced $27–$97/mo. Finally, give me the name, core promise, monthly structure, and an engagement + referral strategy.” Prompt #2 — Find your first members “I'm launching the [MEMBERSHIP NAME] from the previous prompt. Give me the 10 best places to attract ideal members with specific strategies. Include communities, social platforms, networking, and partnerships. For each, show how to introduce my offer naturally (not salesy), what value to lead with, and how to start DMs that convert. Also give me 5 content ideas that demonstrate expertise and nudge people toward ongoing support.” Pricing & Positioning (Simple Rules) Start $27–$97/mo; add a 10× annual plan to boost cash flow and commitment. Promise one result per month (not a giant library). Sell outcomes: “From stuck to consistent posting,” “From chaos to meal-prep routine,” “From anxiety spiral to daily calm.” Retention Playbook (Why Members Stay) Two predictable touchpoints (Teaching + Q&A). Community micro-wins (weekly check-ins, share wins, peer feedback). Fluid curriculum (teach what members ask for next). Use MiloTree to Power It (Free → Paid, Without Friction) Start free: Use MiloTree Free Plan to build your list fast—create an AI-generated opt-in page for your freebie, store the file, and deliver it automatically. When ready to charge: Upgrade to accept recurring membership payments—MiloTree auto-generates your sales page with AI and runs Stripe billing for you. Set monthly + annual prices in minutes. Freebie to Kickstart Signups Offer something your ideal member can use this week, e.g.: “7-Day Kickstart Calendar” “Swipe Files: Posts/Emails/Templates” “Quick-Wins Checklist” My freebie: Low-Key Membership AI Prompt Pack—the exact prompts above, ready to paste and launch. (Grab it below.) Show Notes / Resources MiloTree Free Plan – start building your email list and delivering freebies today. Low-Key Membership AI Prompt Pack (Free) – copy, paste, launch. Set Up Your Membership in MiloTree – add your name, price (monthly + annual), and let AI build your page; Stripe handles recurring payments. FAQ Do I need a content library before launch? No. Teach live, capture recordings, and let member questions shape the roadmap. That's what keeps it relevant and light for you. Which platform for community? Pick where your audience already is (FB Group, Instagram, Discord, WhatsApp, Slack, etc.). Lower friction = higher engagement. How soon can I hit $1K/month? Many creators reach their first $1K within ~90 days using this simple stack and outreach. Your mileage varies—but the model compounds. Call to Action

Ever bought a game just because it looked cool? In Episode 248 of Crowdfunding Nerds, Andrew and Sean explore the concept of "game shaped objects"—games that lure us with their aesthetics but might not see much playtime. Why do we sometimes buy games that end up as shelf trophies?    Join us as we dive into the tension between art and marketability in game design. Sean shares tales of gifting games like Codenames that become more of a conversation piece than a pastime. What does this reveal about consumer psychology and the role of aesthetics in purchasing decisions?   We also discuss the critical role of playtesting and embracing feedback to refine a game's experience. Plus, we explore how games compete not just with each other, but with all leisure activities for our attention.

Send us a text! (Your number stays private)I've been watching everyone panic about switching email platforms lately - Flodesk ending flat rate pricing, Kit raising prices, Mailerlite making changes. But here's what's making me cringe: almost every post I see is driven by one thing - price. And as someone who's switched platforms 5+ times (embarrassing, I know), I had to share why not the way you should be making this decision. Your email platform is one of the most important pieces of your business. Before you jump ship to save a few bucks, there are hidden costs and better alternatives you need to consider. Instead of chasing the cheapest option, I'm sharing what actually matters and how to invest that switching energy into better email marketing results. 02:00 - The email platform price increase drama everyone's talking about 03:15 - Hidden costs of switching that no one mentions04:30 - My embarrassing platform-switching confession 05:15 - What actually matters when choosing an email platform 06:30 - Smart alternatives to switching platforms 08:00 - My 90-day cold subscriber automation that saves moneyLinks & Resources:The Savvy Seller CollectiveFollow me on Instagram @kristendoyle.co Check out my Everything Page: a one-stop shop for savvy selling!Rate & review The Savvy Seller on Apple PodcastsCheck out my Everything Page at https://kristendoyle.co/everything
