Maybe you’ve toyed with building a paid community as part of your business model. Or you gave it a shot and later shelved it because you just couldn’t make it work. Start-up Parent Founder Sarah K. Peck goes deep on how she built three paid communities:

How she chose the initial idea that morphed into her company and multiple highly engaged (paid) communities.

Why what looks like overnight success (260 applications for 25 spots) was actually years of experiments, trials and listening to a consistent audience.

How she looks at experimenting today—and why a one-year commitment keeps her focused on the best outcomes for her members and herself.

The role that lighthearted fun—joy even—can play in the success of your community and your own happiness.

The intersection of motherhood and business and finding your sweet spot between the two.

It's just the tip of the iceberg. Like you're a parent for the rest of your life.
