John Tuggle from Learning Guitar Now joins me on this weeks episode of Behind the Membership.
Learning Guitar Now has been around for over 10 years now, starting out selling books, DVDs and standalone courses before adding a membership offering into the mix. John's membership now accounts for around 75% of his monthly income, with one-off product sales making up the rest, and John has a lot of great experience to share with us!
“I enjoy what I do. To me that's one of the best things you can ever have because you're going to have to make money and you're going to have to work at something. So you might as well try to find something that you enjoy.“
John has been running his membership for 3 years now, after spending 7 years selling just one-off products. We talk:
- How niching down and focusing on his passion made all the difference to John's success
- Starting out selling DVDs and courses for hundreds of dollars and why John then decided to add a $19.95 per month membership
- How going all in doubled his sales and brought him more freedom
- Promoting a membership with free lessons and member exclusive extras
- The benefits of selling one-off products alongside a membership
- Dealing with ill health and the challenge of staying creative
- How using a forum for answering member questions provides additional content
- John's course production process
- and much more!
