Episode 239: The DARK Side of Memberships with Justin and Mike Brown

Maybe you run a membership site, or you’re thinking of starting one, and you’re wondering how to make it as successful (and easy to operate!) as possible? Today we’re going to reveal the biggest mistake that membership site owners make, and here to share their experiences are Justin and Mike Brown of Primal Video. As you’ll find out, they actually built a membership site the wrong way and shut it down, only to go back to the drawing board and relaunch it on their own terms!
