The Cost of Building Your Membership Business
Watch this video to learn exactly how much it will cost to build and run your membership business.
This is the one thing that holds most people back. In reality this should be what drives you forward! We can show you what it will take to pay for your business entirely. It is a lot easier than you think. đ
"Do you think 7 of your current TPT buyers would purchase your membership?"
ABSOLUTELY!
LESSON #1
Purchase Your Domain
In this lesson you will learn how to purchase the domain name for your business.
This can be something related to your current TPT store or it can be something totally made up like Jeff's company iTeachly.
Here is the link to set up your NameCheap account and purchase your domain name. This will take you to a special affiliate page where you will get the best deal available.
Purchase Your Domain NameLESSON #2
Setup Kajabi
Kajabi is where you will host your membership and some of your website pages. We use Kajabi because out of all the LMS platforms available they have the simplest to use interface. They also can handle the thousands of members you will have.
Kajabi is also priced better than all the others for what you get. You will not need all the bells and whistles that come with the other platforms. Kajabi does one thing really well and that is memberships.
UPDATE: You get a 30 Day Trial so there is NO RISK in setting up your membership! You also get 20% off Kajabi which is a $480 per year discount. AND! You get all of my website templates, product templates, and trainings for FREE if you use this button!

Setup Hosting for Your Wordpress Blog and Link the Subdomain
At this point we have tried all of the hosting companies. There are only two that we really love. SiteGround is awesome because of their customer support.
We have never had an issue that was not addressed immediately. Their user interface is top notch and so simple to use.
Their cloud hosting plans are a game changer for website speed and reliability.
LESSON #4
Create a Google Workspace Account
Google Workspace is used for many things in your business. The most important of which is creating your professional email addresses for your company.
This will make your email address look like this [email protected]
This makes your company look professional and legit. You also cannot use common @gmail addresses to send out mass emails to your potential customers, schools, or members.
Google Workspace is also where you will claim your business YouTube channel and many others things.
IMPORTANT: If you create your Google Workspace account after April 1st 2023 you only need to add this one MX Record...
Name/Host/Alias: Blank or @
Priority: 1
Value/Answer/Destination: SMTP.GOOGLE.COM
Setup Google WorkspaceLESSON #5
Setup Your Customer Relationship Manager (CRM) Active Campaign
Other than your actual product itself your CRM Software is THE MOST IMPORTANT piece of your business.
This is how most of the communication is done with your customers, it is how you email them, it is what you use to set up automations and workflows, it is how you segment and tag customers and potential customers.
We have tried all of them and NO OTHER CRM compares to the power of ActiveCampaign.
It is worth every penny you spend on it and will give you the ability to scale to 7 and 8 figure levels without changing softwares.
If you are using another email software ActiveCampaign will help you switch everything over. This is not just a place to store your email subscribers and send emails. It will literally run all automations in your business.

LESSON #6
Setup Your Shopping Cart ThriveCart
I am just going to answer the question everyone asks...
"Why do I need a cart software when Kajabi can take payments?"
I love Kajabi but they are great at one thing... Memberships.
ThriveCart is a one time payment purchase for the best cart software there is. It handles everything in your checkout process and does it really well. It also integrates perfectly with Kajabi.
Kajabi does not do evergreen countdown timers for sales. ThriveCart does. This is EXTREMELY important in the sales funnel process.
LESSON #7
How to Connect Everything With Pabbly Connect, Zapier, or Webhooks
There are two options for the software that connects all your workflows together. They are Zapier and Pabbly Connect.
Zapier is significantly easier to use than Pabbly Connect. If you are not tech savvy at all you may want to use use Zapier.
With our affiliate link you can get a lifetime license to Pabbly for a one time purchase. Zapier has a membership fee. However, the free plan will do everything you need until you have thousands of members.
Pabbly Connect does everything you will need it to do and is much cheaper with the link below.
LESSON #8
Create a Deadline Funnel Account
Deadline Funnel makes it so you can create scarcity in the sales you run.
You can give your potential customers real deadlines to join you membership without manually doing everything your self.
Once you have a lot of members it would be impossible to do this yourself.
This is a way to automate the whole sales process. Doing this at the beginning of your membership creation will take away a lot of headaches later on.
We will do much more training on sales and marketing later on in the course.
