Which digital product is right for your business right now: an online course or a membership?

Both have the potential to multiply your revenue as a creator or entrepreneur. And since I don’t believe that business is one-size-fits-all, I’m excited to share the opportunities and challenges for membership sites vs. online courses to help you decide which one is right for you right now.

Today's guest is Manu Muraro (Your Social Team). Manu helps ethical brands with a sense of humor grow engagement in sales on Instagram and not worry too much about every single piece of advice they're getting. She's sold both courses and memberships and currently runs a seven-figure membership, so she's here to help weigh the pros and cons of each strategy.

What's the best way to market and sell your online course or membership? That's the core question we're out to answer in today's episode by comparing two fundamentally different strategies: the live launch model vs. the evergreen model.

Whether you’re a current or aspiring membership or course creator, special guests Mike & Callie (Membership Geeks) are here to help us answer these key questions:

• When is the right time to use a live launch model vs. the evergreen model?
• If your product is always open for purchase, how can you convert prospects to buyers when there’s no immediate deadline or discount?
• How can you create a high-converting funnel and scale your revenue over time, even if you’re just getting started?
