Here are the highlights of this episode:
2:03 Veena’s ideal Client: My ideal client is anyone who's looking to monetize their skills, knowledge, experience, expertise and generate a recurring revenue stream and using a membership website. Anyone who knows what they want, who's really good at what they want, can create a consistent content in whatever it is that they are good at, and are willing to put in the work and not give up when it doesn't work the first time they try something.
2:47Problem Veena helps solve: If you have done your niche research, and you know that you have this great idea for a membership website, and you know there is an audience for it. What you are confused about is that you don't know how go about monetizing it, you don't know how to deliver your content online, you don't know how to secure your content, how to protect it, how to integrate it with  payment processors, how to accept payments online. Basically, everything from strategy to planning to actual implementation of a membership site. If you need help of any of that, that's what we do.
3:45Typical symptoms that clients do before reaching out to Veena: I would say overwhelmed and just stressed. Because when you hear the word 'membership' people just assume that they have to create tons and tons of content, and they start wondering if they can continue to create a content on an ongoing basis consistently. And number two, can we deal with the tech because membership sites as you know, you need to use membership software, and some other tools and platforms to deliver your content to secure it. So, they worry about the tech part especially people that are not techy. And the third thing is, there are so many options online, when you ask around, everyone has a different opinion on what software or platform to use. What's good for one person may not be good for you. So how do you decide what's the right platform that you can go with, so that you don't have to keep switching because it didn't work out for you. So, how do you decide.
5:07What are some of the common mistakes that folks make before finding Veena and her solution: Well number one when it comes to membership sites, they think that they have to create all of the content upfront. What I've seen people do is restart into doing the creation mode. First is research, they do none stop for many months and there's really no don't need to do it. Because there is no such thing as a perfect platform. You got to figure out what it is that you really need and want, your top list. It cannot be every single thing on my list that has to do it.
