The Pros and Cons of Starting a Membership Site
As social media changes, our public platforms become vulnerable.
- When my Facebook Ads Manager got hacked, maxing out my credit card, I knew I could get it resolved, but it was such a pain.
- Then I was locked out of my Facebook account–twice!
- My Instagram account ended up with a copycat account pretending to be me.
Okay, I’m slow, but the writing on the wall became obvious. I needed a different way to be social without social media, or less of it, especially in today’s fragile economy.
My solution was to launch a membership site.
Owning a membership site and building an engaged community unlocks opportunities to create a safe think tank that is not public.
