The Recurring Revenue Workshop Reviews

What attendees say about the free 3-day live membership workshop

The Recurring Revenue Workshop (formerly the Membership Workshop) is Stu McLaren's free three-day live workshop for people who want to build a membership business. Over three sessions, attendees work out who their membership is for, write the positioning that describes it, and plan a first launch to the audience they already have.

The workshop runs ahead of each enrollment for The Membership Experience, Stu's six-module, live experience. Every review below was shared by someone who attended. Wording is unchanged.

An investment in my future

I already joined during the early bird signup period and am excited to get started when the main program is opened up. I joined this workshop and opted for the VIP also. I'm looking at this as an investment in my future. Could I have started a membership without this workshop or the main program? Probably. But it would've cost me much more in trial and error both in money and my time. The total investment will be small compared to the return. The free workshop will help a lot of people but anyone that faults him for offering a much more in-depth program for a larger investment probably will never do good with an online business. He's giving you his knowledge, what works, what doesn't work. His main program is for those that are serious about a business and want to skip a lot of the mistakes that can be made.

12 founding members grew to nearly 80

Folks, I took part in this workshop 3 yrs ago, did the FML to 250 facebook followers. I had nothing. 12 people paid to be FM. Today I run two communities for electronic music producers, one in my home country Poland, and one worldwide. There is nearly 80 ppl in the communities. I'm not the best music producer in the world. I'm just few steps ahead and have passion for teaching. Today it's a business that I work on and I'm currently speaking with an investor to invest in this project and sell to him eventually. I had never see it going that way but it was the best decision of my life so far. If I could do it you can!

Ten founding members in four days

SO much has transpired since Stu's workshop on Thursday! This all happened in 4 days! Got clear on who my membership was for. Set an intention of how many members. Joined two accountability groups & attended two zooms on Saturday from people in this group & gained several new friends. Went live to tell my audience about what I was launching. Sent an email inviting my email list to my zoom. Hosted a zoom for details about it & Q&A. Twelve women attended & so far 10 are founding members. Launching TODAY!!! I have been wanting to create a membership for YEARS!!

50 registered before the ads even started

I have fully embraced ChatGPT for my marketing, copy, and content (with a little nudge here and there) and am seeing traction - daily getting new email subscribers. By doing the TME+ challenge of the month, my landing sales page is much more expressive of all I have to offer. My ads for my 10 Essentials PDF starts today, which leads to my 3-Day JumpStart Your Ministry workshop. I have a 33% click rate and a 90% sign up rate for the event just from my email list. I have 50 registered for the event and my ads haven't even started

Success in 15 minutes, not weeks

I disengaged for a few weeks- got sidetracked on another project and just rewatched the listbulder workshop. Holy Mackeral- that listbuilder tool gave me success in 15 minutes that I have been spiraling about for weeks! I got refocused and I'm back on track. I was caught up in building a lead magnet, how to link to kit, and the tech issues. This tool bypassed all of that- and my link was live at the same time. Oh and quality output too. Only had to tweek a little wording- took about 10 minutes. Wow!

74 new members, total now 171

We closed on 74 new members in Launch Swipes! Woohoo! Taking our total to 171. This is the first promo we've done since I did our FML, too busy raising investment and running everyone else's launches as Stu knows. This was pretty unexpected because this business has become my evening and weekend job as my launch software business is my main focus. Hardly sent many emails, and they were pretty average too, but I think the offer was really good so made a lot of sense for our audience.

Learned so much in just a few hours

Wasn't yesterday's workshop incredible? I learnt so much in just a few hours. Sharing my positioning statement: Hello Gender offers consultation and workshops in diversity, equity and inclusion specifically with regard to gender identity and expression to individuals in leadership positions who work with transgender people to help them create a respectful and safe environment so everyone can be authentically themselves!

The secret segment impacted me most

I appreciate the opportunity to attend this workshop it's not the first time I participate and it's always inspiring. This time I not only watched it but during this 1 part I was able to think and structure more concrete the membership I want to create. TPC was a huge help The secret segment was what nais impacted me and helped to structure ideas and actions. Can't wait for part 2!

14 founding members from 50 graduates

FML CART CLOSED! sent invitation to a small but warm list of 50 course graduates. I now have 14 founding members to take care of (plus one client who opted for a higher priced private program). could not be happier with results and definitely could not have done it without TME Team and this group

— Caroline

58 founding members from one email

I have an art membership for kids and want to start one for adults. I just did my FML only to the parents of those kids and just got 58 founding members! Next I'll pitch it to my full email list and social media. Most laid back launch ever!

11 founding members, beat my goal of 10

Founding Member launched last Monday, 2 signed up before and I've had 9 more and today it closes! Thank you to Stu for his encouragement and his wisdom about FOLLOWUP. I sent an emaill M/W/F/M/W seems like a lot but I also targeted different emails depending if they opened the email or clicked on the links. I also did a few text followups of people I knew would want to get in on it. I am SO excited for the 11 and the day isn't over yet! I had a goal for 10! Initially I had thought I wanted to have everything ready to go before I even launched, so I am grateful for Stu's workshops! I am launching my product on Searchie in June and cannot wait for that launch!

— Melody W.

Not far away from launching now

A brilliant first workshop. I've written my positioning message and I have a concrete plan in place for my membership. I've priced up a sample box for subscribers, and bought the bits and pieces to go in it. I will use that sample box for promoting the subscription. I also need to take a look at searchie. I don't think I'm that far away from launching

So much messaging map work I smell smoke

Anyone else brainstorm a whole bunch of messaging map iterations, change their entire IG bio, revamp their old, unused mailchimp landing page & welcome email, and then sit back and ask if anyone smells smoke? No, just me?

— Aimee

My aha moment: the Messaging Map
