The membership playbook
Practical writing on running a membership organisation - the members, the money, and the bits nobody warns you about. Written by people who have actually done it, not a content mill.
Win-back campaigns for lapsed members
Some members drift off for no real reason and would be glad of a nudge. Here's how to reach the ones worth reaching, a month or two after they've gone, without looking desperate.
Building an online member community
The group chat, the server, the members' area - your community's quiet second home is where belonging survives the gaps between events. Here's how to pick a platform honestly, get it moving from an empty room, and keep it alive without burning anyone out.
Member appreciation and recognition ideas
A practical menu of ways to make members feel genuinely seen - from ten-second thank-yous to milestone moments - and honest notes on why a generic certificate does more harm than good.
Member satisfaction survey questions
A copy-and-paste bank of member satisfaction survey questions - grouped by what they measure - plus honest advice on keeping it short, when to send it, and why the survey is the easy part.
How to calculate member retention rate (formula)
The retention formula is ten seconds of arithmetic. The wrinkles - new joiners, gross vs net, what period, churn as the mirror - are where clubs quietly get a number that flatters them. Here's how to get one you can trust.
The welcome email drip sequence, one email at a time
One big welcome email tries to do six jobs and does none of them. Here's a simple 5-email sequence over a new member's first 30 days - what to send, when, and what each one is actually for.
