How to launch your platform and make money with a small audience💡(With Examples!)

Turn your niche following into profit with launch strategies for small platforms.

Updated over a week ago

Being a small creator can be tough. You pour your heart into your work, but building a loyal following and turning fans into paying members feels like a distant dream. But fear not, fellow creative! With WithMe, your all-in-one community platform, you can launch thriving memberships even with a small audience. Here's how:

1. Share the Idea (But Not Your Hustle):

Don't wait for a massive following. Publicly announce you're exploring memberships! Use social media, email, or course announcements to spark interest.

Example: "Hey everyone! I'm thinking about launching exclusive memberships on WithMe to offer deeper dives into my creative process. Imagine behind-the-scenes content, Q&As, and early access to new projects!"

2. Cast a Vision, Not a Shadow:

Get your audience excited about the future! Describe the unique value your membership will offer.

Example: "Through WithMe memberships, I envision creating a space where we can truly connect. Think personalized tutorials, exclusive live streams, and a supportive community to help you grow alongside me."

3. The Founding Force (It's You!):

Your initial audience is gold! Invite them to be founding members at a special introductory price. Highlight the benefits of joining early.

Example: "Become a founding member of my WithMe membership and get the lowest price ever, with lifetime access! Plus, you'll directly shape the community with your ideas."

4. The Clear Call to Action:

Make it easy for them to join the journey.

Example: "Excited to join my creative crew? Reply to this email and I'll send you all the details about my WithMe membership launch!"

5. Follow Up and Deliver:

Once they express interest, provide specific details – dates, pricing, and that captivating vision again.

Example: "Welcome to the inner circle! Here's the link to join my founding members' group on WithMe (limited spots available!). Don't miss out – this offer ends Friday! Get ready to unlock a whole new level of creative connection."

By leveraging WithMe's user-friendly tools and your existing audience, you can launch a successful membership program and cultivate a community of dedicated fans. Remember, WithMe takes care of the tech headaches, so you can focus on what you do best – creating and connecting. Let's turn your small audience into your biggest supporters!
