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.
A one-page website for your association
When you're small, you don't need a ten-page site nobody keeps current. Here's how to put everything a prospective member needs - who you are, what they get, when you meet, a join button - on a single honest page.
What members expect to find when they log in
A member portal is just the logged-in part of your website. Here's what actually belongs in it, what to leave out, and when a WhatsApp group is honestly enough.
Should you have a member directory at all?
A member directory is obviously useful right up until you build one and nobody opens it. Here's when a directory genuinely earns its place, and how to build one your members actually trust.
The membership numbers actually worth watching
You don't need a dashboard to run a healthy club. Here's the handful of numbers that actually tell you something - and the shiny ones that only make you feel informed.
Connecting a custom domain to your membership site
It sounds like the technical end of running a membership site, so people put it off. It really is a 20-minute job - here's the plain-English version, start to finish.
Starting a sports club: the pitch, the people, the paperwork
A sports club is a regular club plus the awkward physical extras: a pitch you don't own, gear, injuries, and a bill that lands every single week. Here's how to handle the bits that make sport different.
How to start a community or hobby group
The lightweight way to get an interest group going - a few keen people, a regular slot, a WhatsApp group, and enough momentum that it grows on its own. Padel as the running example.
Money that is not dues: where else an organisation can earn
A grouped, honest menu of ways a club or association can bring in money beyond dues - what each one really earns, what it costs you in effort, and how not to let money-chasing quietly wreck the thing you were funding.
Run your whole membership in one place
Anggota keeps your members, renewals, payments and events together, so the admin looks after itself and you can get back to the community. Have a go - it is free to start, no credit card.
