This Accounting Entrepreneur Used Searchie to Launch Her Membership FAST

May 11

Beth Whitworth is a CPA and an expert on QuickBooks accounting software. She has built an audience of QuickBooks users who have come to rely on her for training on the software and advice on their field.

Beth was planning to create a membership using an established platform, but then she learned about Searchie. Like me, she was seduced by Searchie when she saw how easy it is to use and its useful functions.

Beth quickly changed her plan and decided to create her membership using Searchie. Her members were waiting! Beth needed to Get. It. Launched—fast. And she was able to do just that, since Searchie is such a snap!

With her color palette, success path, and a welcome video, Beth was able to quickly create her membership. In my interview with Beth, she shows us her Hub, which is a great example of simplicity being super-effective.

Searchie Helps Her Serve Her Members Well

Beth had noticed in other memberships that it wasn’t easy for members to submit their questions. The link might be in a Facebook post or an email, making it hard for the members to locate the link when a question arose.

Because Beth’s live Q&A sessions are a way for her to provide excellent value to her members, Beth made sure to put a link in several places on her Hub, so her members can easily submit their questions to her.

Making things easy for your members just takes a little thought, and it makes for satisfied members who keep showing up!

Another way that Beth used Searchie to make the Hub user-friendly is with a Welcome area. This contains a welcome video and an explanation of the success path. This is a great way to orient new members!

With Searchie, Keeping it Simple is a Winning Solution

Beth’s advice to new Searchie users is to keep it simple. For example, she advises against having a lot of folders and subfolders for your videos. Just use one folder, and you can always use tagging to use the videos in new playlists later.

She also advises newbies to begin the process with a branded color palette. Using your color palette throughout the Hub as you create it enables you to create a consistent look while saving “design time.” Beth points out that she’s a numbers person, not a designer. And yet she created an attractive, consistent Hub that her members use and value. If you need tips on creating consistency in your Hub, I’ve got some tips for you.

Finally, Beth advises Searchie users to remember the motto “progress, not perfection.” She didn’t have time to make her membership Hub perfect—but she got it launched quickly, and it is a success. She can always tweak it and make improvements over time.

She Raves about Searchie

Beth is so glad that she made the last-minute switch to Searchie for her membership platform. She raves about how straightforward and easy it is to work with. Her Hub is an excellent Searchie success story!
