TL;DR (Problem → Solution)
Problem: One-off product sales force you to keep launching and promoting to make money and for many people that is hard.
Solution: A low-key membership: 2 Zoom sessions/month + lightweight community + simple emails. That’s it. Recurring payments keep coming in—even when you’re not launching.
Why “Low-Key Memberships” Win in 2025
- Recurring revenue > one-offs: Each new member adds to your baseline.
- Members stay for community, not modules: Overstuffed content = churn. Connection and momentum = retention.
- Zero tech headaches: Use platforms people already check daily (FB/WhatsApp) and Zoom they already know.
Real-world results shared in the episode:
- Weight-loss creator: $300/mo → $2,800/mo with Zoom + private FB group.
- Anxiety coach: $4,100/mo with WhatsApp + biweekly calls.
Your Starter Stack (Keep It Simple)
- Delivery: 2 Zoom sessions/month (Teaching + Q&A).
- Community: Facebook Group or WhatsApp for quick wins + peer support.
- Communication: Your existing email service provider (Mailchimp, MailerLite, Flodesk, ConvertKit).
- Payments & pages: MiloTree—AI sales pages, Stripe checkout, recurring billing. Start free to grow your list; upgrade when you’re ready to accept membership payments.
7-Day Launch Plan (No Pre-Recorded Library)
Day 1: Pick your promise (one painful problem you’ll help members solve monthly).
Day 2: Post your interest waitlist with a freebie (see below).
Day 3: Price: $27–$97/mo. Add a 10× annual option (e.g., $47/mo or $470/yr).
Day 4: Create an outline for your first month’s sessions.
Day 5: Open your MiloTree membership (AI sales page + Stripe billing).
Day 6: DM warm leads (from FB groups/WhatsApp/LinkedIn) with your waitlist link.

Pro tip: Build with your members. Teach what they ask for next. That “fluid plan” keeps content laser-relevant and retention high.
Copy-and-Paste AI Prompts (Use These to Build It Fast)
Prompt #1 — Design your membership
“Design a low-key membership for my expertise in [YOUR NICHE]. I want something simple that builds community using free platforms people already know. First, validate my niche using these six purchasing triggers: makes money, saves money, saves time, moves toward happiness, moves away from pain, raises social status (explain which apply). Then create a concept that: meets twice monthly (1 teaching call, 1 Q&A via Zoom); uses Facebook Groups/Discord/WhatsApp for interaction; uses email for schedules/recordings/updates; focuses on implementation (not info overload); builds naturally without tons of pre-created content; develops a supportive community; and is priced $27–$97/mo. Finally, give me the name, core promise, monthly structure, and an engagement + referral strategy.”
Prompt #2 — Find your first members
“I’m launching the [MEMBERSHIP NAME] from the previous prompt. Give me the 10 best places to attract ideal members with specific strategies. Include communities, social platforms, networking, and partnerships. For each, show how to introduce my offer naturally (not salesy), what value to lead with, and how to start DMs that convert. Also give me 5 content ideas that demonstrate expertise and nudge people toward ongoing support.”
Pricing & Positioning (Simple Rules)
- Start $27–$97/mo; add a 10× annual plan to boost cash flow and commitment.
- Promise one result per month (not a giant library).

Retention Playbook (Why Members Stay)
