If you’ve considered starting a membership program or club on your website you might be wondering what the best way to do that is, how expensive and difficult it might be, or just where to begin. Today I’m sharing an article from Rebekah Zobel Jones, who specializes in membership site setup and is a fantastic [...]
One of the cool entrepreneurs I connected with during the #blog30 challenge was Melanie Kissell. I invited her to share a guest blog post and gave her free reign on topic.
