Paige has worked inside some of the biggest memberships in the online space — communities with 1,500+ members, pulling in over $100K/month. She's also worked with founders who stayed stuck at zero. After 7.5 years auditing, coaching, and studying what separates the two, she's identified the real predictors of an unsuccessful community. Here's the part that'll surprise you: the founders who exploded and the ones who never gained traction were handed the exact same strategies. The difference wasn't the plan. In this episode, Paige breaks down the predictors that actually determine whether your membership grows — and what to do instead of each one.
 
You'll Discover
⬛ Why "the social media effect" is the exact habit loop you want your members building inside your community — and how to engineer it on purpose
⬛ The subtle mistake most founders make when posting in their own community (it reads as engagement, but it's actually community-repellent)
 
⬛ Why slow implementation quietly caps your membership's growth — and what to do about it if you're already stretched thin
⬛ The "build a world" strategy for giving members a true sense of belonging, including why volunteer roles change everything
⬛ Why "garbage" systems silently destroy member trust — even when nobody complains directly
⬛ Why an inconsistent sales strategy is quietly capping your membership's growth, even when your content and community are strong
⬛ Why visibility isn't optional — the predictor most membership owners overlook entirely, and what happens to growth without it
 
If you're ready to stop guessing at why your membership isn't growing and start building the systems, community, sales strategy, and visibility that actually retains members — join Million Dollar Memberships Club. It's the #1 community for membership owners scaling to 7 figures and beyond.

Episode Description:My client just hit $24,149 in MRR with her membership — and here's the part that matters most: if she stopped working entirely today, this is still what she'd be bringing in every single month. She's doubled her MRR in just 3 months, and she's on pace to double it again by the end of the year. In this episode, I'm walking you through the exact 5-part strategy — in order — that got her there.
You'll Discover:
Why we rebuilt her membership foundation before touching growth or sales — and what happens when you skip this step
How her automated 14-day lead magnet funnel turns every piece of content into hands-off leads and sales
The sales event framework that brought in 101 new members in 90 minutes
Why she switched from always-open to a closed-enrollment model — and what changed for her existing members
The exact hire she made for retention, and why growth alone will never build a lasting membership
If you're serious about growing your own membership this year, this episode is your blueprint. Every template, process, and framework we used with her lives inside Million Dollar Memberships Club — doors close August 30th, so don't miss your window.

Episode Description
Five real questions from real membership owners, no fluff, straight answers. In this episode I'm breaking down the difference between a visibility problem and a sales problem (and how to actually tell which one you have), what churn rate is normal versus what's elite, why doing all the content and calls and DMs yourself is the fastest route to burnout, the real difference between a launch event and an incubator event and why it matters which one you're running, and why deciding you're already the go-to name in your industry changes everything about how you show up. If you've asked yourself any of these, this one's for you.
 
You'll Discover:
Whether your growth problem is actually visibility, sales, or both — and how to diagnose it
The 3 leaks that stall membership growth: conversion, retention, visibility
What churn rate is actually normal (and the number MDMC holds its own members to)
Why burnout in a mature membership is a systems problem, not a hustle problem
The 3 systems every profitable membership needs: visibility, retention, conversion — and how they feed each other
Launch vs. incubator events: what the difference is and why running the wrong one is costing you
How to start Muse-Maxxing — showing up as the go-to name in your industry instead of waiting to earn it

In this episode, Paige breaks down why closed doors will actually make you MORE money as a membership founder, and squashes the number one fear keeping founders stuck in the always-open model: "how will I pay my bills when my doors are closed?"
 
Most founders stay evergreen because they're terrified of the "quiet months." But your closed months aren't your broke months. They're your most profitable ones. Paige's clients are proving it: one had a goal of 750 members by end of year and hit 700 by end of July, another hit her 300 member end-of-year goal at the beginning of July, all after switching from always-open to the open/close model.
 
 
 
YOU'LL DISCOVER:
 
- The biggest fear about closing your doors (and why it gets the entire point of a membership backwards)
- Why "publicly closed" does NOT mean "privately closed," and the 4 behind-the-scenes sales strategies that run while your doors are shut
- How annual pricing smooths out your income so you can plan your year instead of white-knuckling it month to month
- The trust math behind why open/close launches convert at 12 to 20% on a live event vs the 2 to 4% industry average
 
If you want predictable recurring revenue that pays you every single month, even when your doors are closed, this episode is your blueprint. Hit play and start planning your income for the YEAR.

I'm coming to you unscripted and unfiltered from my car (yes, really — stuck in summer traffic with a to-do list a mile long) to break down exactly what I'm doing right now to sign the next 100 members into Million Dollar Memberships Club. This is my fourth membership, I'm scaling it publicly to $100K/month in recurring revenue, and these are the four real things on my plate this week — no theory, no fluff. If you've ever pulled back on content and watched your reach tank, scrambled to throw together a last-minute sales event, or wished your funnel sold for you while you lived your life... this one's for you.
 
In this episode, you'll discover:
1️⃣ Why visibility is priority #1 — and the painful lesson I learned when I pulled back on content and the algorithm put me in "500 views jail"
2️⃣ My daily content creation routine (and why batching never worked for me)
3️⃣ How I plan my sales events months in advance so I'm never scrambling — and never half-assing a masterclass again
4️⃣ The behind-the-scenes email funnel revamp that sells for me between sales events — and why I want my free content to be so good you wonder if it was a mistake
5️⃣ Everything you need to know about the Get Your Next 100 Members Challenge (July 14–16) — what we're building together over 3 days, who it's for, and how you'll leave with a fully written plan to sign your next 100 members

In this episode, Paige breaks down why the open close membership model beats staying open year-round, and why keeping your doors open might be the exact thing killing your growth.
Every membership guru tells you to keep your doors open all year and let your membership feed your higher ticket programs.
Paige believes that advice is hurting 90% of memberships.
Because the truth is... the founders following it are dealing with inconsistent sign-ups, brutal churn, and total burnout from promoting their membership every single day.
And most of those problems are 80% solved the moment you switch to open close.
Inside this episode, Paige walks through the three biggest problems membership founders face and exactly how the open close model fixes each one.
You'll discover:
Why inconsistent sign-ups aren't a content problem, they're a model problemHow random discounts and flash sales are quietly lowering the perceived value of your membershipWhy churn actually DECREASES when members know the doors close behind themThe surprising way open close helps your members commit and get better resultsHow focused sales periods replace the constant promo grind (and save your sanity)
And that's just the beginning.
If you're tired of hard selling your membership every day just to keep it alive, this episode will show you a better way.

Your membership isn't growing because of ONE of three leaks — and most founders never figure out which one until it's too late. In this Q&A episode, I'm answering real questions from inside MDMC: why communities go quiet, why more content isn't the answer to results, why churn is eating your launches alive, and how to know when it's finally time to hire your first team member.
You'll discover:
Why your community feels "dead" — and what actually makes members log in daily
The 3 leaks that keep memberships stuck (and which one is probably yours)
Why piling on more content is hurting your members' results, not helping
The real math behind why 70% of revenue comes from retention, not new sales
What to do when churn means your launches can't even keep up
How to know it's time for your first hire — and why it should be a community role first

Your membership used to grow fast. Members were coming in left and right, your content was taking off, and it felt like you'd cracked the code. But somewhere along the way, that momentum died down — and now you're treading water, struggling to keep members engaged, repeat those early sales wins, or build the kind of community that actually sticks. In this episode, Paige breaks down why this happens to membership founders at every level (even those with 800+ members) and walks through the exact framework she teaches inside Million Dollar Memberships Club to fix it for good.
In this episode, you'll discover:
Why a membership that grew fast in the beginning is often built on shaky foundations that eventually give out
The 5 pillars every strong, compounding membership needs to actually sustain growth
The real difference between a membership members "use" and one they treat as a non-negotiable daily habit
Why your onboarding might be quietly costing you members (and what real onboarding should look like)
How to build a repeatable, FOMO-driven sales system that doesn't rely on you reinventing a promotion every month
Why visibility is the silent killer behind stalled growth — even if it's never felt like "your" problem before
How to diagnose which of the 3 leaks (community/retention, sales, or visibility) is actually behind your own stall
If this episode hit home for you, Paige has something coming next month that's going to change the way you approach sales in your membership — details drop on next Monday's episode, so make sure you're subscribed. And in the meantime, block off July 14–16 on your calendar.
