Membership Intensive

1st to 28th February 2026

Build a membership that actually pays you every month

A practical 28‑day intensive to go from idea (or messy membership) to a clear, sellable membership with a realistic path to £1,000 - £3,000 a month in recurring income.

The simple path from membership idea to monthly income

One

Design


Get clear on what your membership actually is, who it’s for, and what result it delivers. You’ll finish with a concept you can explain easily and feel confident building.

Two

Build


Create a minimum viable membership that's easy to build and a breeze to run. I'll show you some easy tech options for different membership models.

Three

Launch & Earn


Start bringing in recurring income from something you can realistically run, with a clear path to £1K - £3K a month.

If you have ever thought

  • “I should have a membership by now.”

  • “I don’t know how to make it simple.”

  • “I don’t want another complicated thing to run.”

  • “I just want something steady coming in each month.”

  • “I'd love a membership but my last one flopped.”

You are exactly who this was built for.

Together we'll create a simple, light-touch™ membership that works for you and your members, around your busy life.

What membership intensive is

Membership Intensive is a 28‑day build‑and‑launch sprint.

You will not disappear into modules for months. You will not be given 300 videos to watch.

Instead, we do the small number of things that matter:

  • decide what your membership is

  • design the simplest version that works

  • price it sensibly with a built-in growth strategy

  • write a short, clear and compelling sales page

  • create & implement a simple launch plan

  • open the doors and welcome in your brand new members

That is it.

Some people will be starting from scratch. Some people will be starting again.

The process is the same.

What do I get?

  • Short, powerful, easy to follow lessons each week

  • A weekly group call with me to get your questions answered (replays available)

  • Templates to help speed up your membership process

  • A fabulous Facebook group for support, inspiration and motivation

MEMBERSHIP INTENSIVE should take you no more than 3 hours per week including attending my weekly group coaching call.

You also get accountability. Each week I'll send you nudge emails to stop you overthinking, overcomplicating and hiding. I'll also be chivvying you along in the Facebook group.

How membership intensive works

Together we'll spend 28 days working through the 4 simple steps to take your membership from idea to design, to creation and then to launch.

Each week:

  1. Your new training will be released - you can work through it in your own time that week.

  2. You will get a small assignment for the week

  3. You'll come into the Facebook group to say you've finished that week's assignment 

  4. We'll have a group call where we focus on that week's topic

  5. and after 4 weeks you'll have a membership ready to launch to your lovely customers, subscribers and social followers.

The Build a Buzz layer

During the 4 weeks, from Day 1, you'll be building a buzz about your membership (even before you have the idea firmed up) and we'll be sharing your membership journey with your audience as we go. By the time you're ready to launch, you could easily have people waiting to sign up!

Week 1 - IDEA

You'll come up with a brilliant idea for your membership, one that you and your members will love, and that works around your business, life and energy levels.

Week 2 - DESIGN

This week you'll learn about the different membership models and choose one that works for you. Then you'll design your minimum viable membership (MVM).

Week 3 - BUILD

This week you'll choose how and where to build your membership. I'll show you lots of options and suggest the best simple tech setup for you.

Week 4 - LAUNCH

You will have been talking about your upcoming membership for weeks, and how it's time to open the doors and get your founding members.

wHO THIS IS FOR

This is for you if:

  • you want recurring income without chaos

  • you already have skills or experience people pay for

  • you like the idea of a membership, but not the stress

  • you are tired of circling the same idea

  • or you already have a membership that is not doing what you hoped

You do not need a big audience. You do not need to be technical. You do not need to create a huge library of content.You need clarity and a simple structure.

wHO THIS IS NOT FOR

This is not for people who:

  • want a big, clunky membership

  • enjoy complicated funnels

  • or measure success by how busy they are

This is deliberately simple.

Claire, I just wanted to say a proper thank you. I feel like I’ve made more progress on this membership with you in a week than I would have in a year on my own. The way you simplify, keep pulling me back from rabbit holes, remind me where my focus needs to be, giving me clear actionable steps is exactly what I needed and exactly why you are called the membership Queen.

You’ve helped turn a rough idea (that I have had for longer than I am brave enough to say) into something clear, structured and genuinely exciting. Your coaching/mentoring style is exactly what I needed and it’s making a huge difference already ... I honestly feel 2026 is going to be a year of celebrations. 💚

Without this help, I would have stayed overwhelmed and frustrated - and probably never taken the steps toward my dream. Now I feel confident, capable, and truly believe I can make it happen. I’m endlessly thankful.

Memberships can create simple recurring income for your business

Hi, my name is Claire, membership nerd and founder of The Girls Mean Business™. I’m a recurring income expert who helps business owners design, create, launch and grow simple, light-touch™ memberships they love.

Most memberships fail because the business owner chooses the wrong membership model. This leads to overthinking, getting bogged down in the details, either never launching or launching, then stalling. They end up with a bloated membership that is a burden, and doesn't grow. No wonder so many people give on on memberships.

It doesn't have to be that way.

The truth is there is no best membership model, only the best one for you and there are lots to choose from.

I've been running memberships since 2013 (and made a couple of million from them) and although the world, and technology has changed since then, the basic principles of a simple, successful and profitable membership still apply.

In MEMBERSHIP INTENSIVE we'll spend 28 days designing, creating and launching a membership that works for you, that your members love and that brings easy recurring income into your business, month after month.

Let’s build something that feels aligned, professional, and is designed to let you shine ✨

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this in any of your memberships?

NO, but my Recurring Income Academy, Dream Business Academy and Digital Product Academy members get it for half price

When are the live calls?

Mondays at 12-1pm UK time - all calls will be recorded and you can watch the replays in your own time

Do I need to have a big audience for this to work?

No, but the more email subscribers and engaged social followers you have, the easier it will be to get your first members

What if I already have a membership?

Well, if you're looking at the MEMBERSHIP INTENSIVE I'm guessing it's not working how you'd like yet. This is a good opportunity to give it a makeover and relaunch.

What if I hate tech?

Choose a membership model with simple tech - there are lots of options and you can design your membership to suit you.

How long do I have access?

You will have indefinite access to the training, resources and call recordings. 

How much time do I need to set aside each week to do this?

3 hours should be enough to join the call or watch the replay, and do the assignment each week but if you watch the replay at double speed and whiz through your assignment, it could be much less time.
