How it works

From sign-up to your first member.

Six steps, in plain English.

1

Sign up

Answer a few simple questions: your name, what you’ll share, your price and your colours.

2

We build it straight away

Your website, members’ area and dashboard are made in your name, in your colours, while you watch.

3

Add your lessons and prices

Video, audio, downloads and words. Monthly, yearly or one-off prices, in £, $ or €.

4

Open your doors

Connect your payments, then open your doors when you’re ready.

5

Members join and pay you

Payments go straight to your own bank account. We don’t take a share.

6

See everything in one dashboard

Members, money, emails and orders on one page, with what to do next.

Any kind of membership

Design your membership to suit you

Mix and match the features.

Snail mail

Post something to members every month. Each month’s post goes onto your packing list with address labels ready to print.

Email-only

Lessons arrive in members’ inboxes on the days you choose. No logging in needed.

Private podcast

Members-only audio episodes that members listen to in their own podcast app.

Community

Posts, photos and short recorded videos, comments, a weekly question, points and badges. In your own space, not Facebook.

Courses and challenges

Video, audio, downloads and words. Lessons can open on the dates you choose, with Previous and Next buttons. Run challenges for members in the community.

Live calls

Members are reminded the day before and an hour before. Replays come with written transcripts and captions.

1:1 sessions and appointments

A booking page in your look. Free or paid, with a members’ price.

Quiz cards

Cards members flip through to remember what they’ve learned.

Check-ins and accountability

A weekly “how did you get on?”, a goal for next week, and a streak to keep going.

Downloads

Workbooks, templates and printables. You choose which files members can download.

Not sure which kind to run? See the membership models below.

Recurring Income Academy

Not sure which kind of membership to run?

In the Recurring Income Academy, I teach the membership models: the Membership Models Library (real-life membership types, with examples) and my Light-Touch™ Method (a membership designed around your life, with no overwhelming content schedule and no Facebook group taking over).

Membership Unlimited is the software that runs whichever model you choose. The Academy is where I show you how to choose it, build it and fill it: a community of business owners with monthly coaching calls, £25 a month, cancel any time.

Why we built it

Memberships are a brilliant idea. The tech shouldn’t get in the way.

Dog trainers, crocheters, coaches, florists: most small business owners know exactly what they want to share with their members. Where they get stuck is the tech: plugins, payment links, logins and emails that don’t talk to each other.

Membership Unlimited puts everything in one place, in plain English, with simple steps to help. So you can spend your time on your members, not your software.

Created by membership coach Claire Mitchell.
