plugins and WordPress and tech...Oh my!
Ready to launch your online membership but feeling
totally intimidated by the tech?
Membership Website in a Weekend™ is the sanity-saving, easy-to-follow blueprint that walks you through the entire setup of your membership or online course platform on WordPress® so you can finally launch a beautiful, professional, and fully functional portal in just one short weekend!
(even if tech makes you feel like you're riding a house through a tornado...)
"If you build it, they will come" only works if you're actually Kevin Costn----wait a minute, what?
I have to build it?!
Memberships and online courses are definitely great for your business. But making it happen is never as easy as all the "gurus" make it sound, so what's up with that?!
It's no secret that memberships and online courses can be like a magic wand for financial stability and time freedom in business.
But...
Everyone (and their little dog) has an opinion about which platform you should use, how you should build it, what you should pay for it - and you never know what to believe, what you need or how all the pieces fit together.
Not to mention the fact that you feel like running away from home every time you even think about tech.
But something HAS to change...
You're sick of trading hours for dollars...
Literally, you only have so many hours in the day. You can't earn more unless you work more, and you just don't have an ounce of "more" to give. You just don't wanna sacrifice your soul for your business.
You're exhausted with DFY and 1:1 work...
You love your clients, but OMG if you have to deal with one more deliverable this week... you'll just lose it!!! And losing it isn't an option. Every client's crisis becomes your "emergency" and seriously - you're over it.
One more "discovery call" could kill you...
You used to dream of having a fully booked calendar, but this was NEVER what you had in mind. There's a constant parade of Zoom calls and you feel like you're wasting hundreds of hours to get just one more client in the door.
The business you built has become a whole lot like being trapped inside a tornado. This is soooo NOT the "laptop lifestyle" you had in mind...
So.... after months of hanging out in FB groups, talking with online friends, and beating yourself up with "what if", you've finally made the decision...
"I am creating a membership that will help the
people I serve and give me recurring income, too."
Feeling hopeful, you log onto the internet to take your first steps and with your fingers hovering over the keyboard before your type, you're thinking…
“Ahhh Kajabi has great features. Wait, I Thinkific has everything I need…
but I did hear a lot of things about Podia in that one Facebook group…
Wait! There’s a sale on Teachable!”
The decision over a membership platform leaves you feeling stuck and unable to take action - paralyzed.
After researching all the recommended tech platforms ad nauseam, and *semi-committing* to one, it’s finally time to bite the bullet, make a choice and hook everything up.
“I’m clearing my whole schedule and figuring this bad boy out today,” you optimistically say to yourself.
First step -- Figure out what pieces of technology you need.
“I can do that easily.” you think as you type in the keywords into your Google search bar.
After taking one long scroll down a MemberVault blog post that outlines the steps you must take to properly setup the backend tech of your membership site on their platform, you gasp in shock.
“I have to integrate what to who?”
“Cart functionality… autoresponders… wait! What’s the difference between using Stripe and having a cart?” you nervously think to yourself, “Can I use both?”
Then you read on...
Membership levels…
Access rules for membership plans…
Plug-ins…
Zapier…
Dashboards...
Are you freaking kidding me?!
You start to feel a little sick to your stomach as you learn there’s a
whole other side of this membership thing that you totally didn't know about.
With all of these new terms, directions, decisions, and apps you’re suddenly swept
away in a whirlwind of tech and everything starts to feel out of control...
Then it hits you like that tornado hit Dorothy and Toto in Kansas:
you’ve got a case of Platform Paralysis.
And it’s the only thing stopping you from moving forward with your plans.
*Help* you scream to yourself on the inside…
#IDon'tThinkWe'reInKansasAnymore
Then you realize... you really only have two choices...
You either learn it for yourself or hire an expensive developer to do it for you. It doesn't matter what the platform is - you're losing soooo much time spinning your wheels with this crap. Too much time.
What you really want is to just skip down that yellow brick road to a fully functional, beautiful professional membership website that will help you increase your impact, your income and your independence.
And while all that struggle and angst sounds noble and makes for a fascinating read
when you write that amazing autobiography one day...
It also sounds pretty exhausting, right?
What if there was a way to get over the rainbow and build a successful membership site without going through all the
extra trial and error (or riding a house through a tornado)?
Spoiler alert - there IS a way!!!
("oh, thank God!!!")
A way to avoid the expensive all-in-one solutions that SOUND like a dream come true, but in reality it’s a secret nightmare...
A way to bypass that treacherous journey alone and ease on down that yellow brick road straight to a place where:
- You can start building your membership site from the foundation up, rather than starting at zero.
- You can have the "bones" of your entire membership site are already built for you (all you need to do is drag and drop things in place).
- You can have all the software installed and ready to be licensed immediately (Add your license codes or connect to your account, and you’re ready to go.)
- You can have your site built on a platform that you actually own (unlike some of those “all-in-one” membership platforms out there).
- You have a fully functional membership site that costs a mere fraction of what you’d pay for any of the "all-in-one_ platforms out there (and avoid ridiculously high costs with ridiculously low returns).
And most importantly, a place where you can get start-to-finish hand holding tutorials and guidance from me
(Let's face it, Dorthy didn’t make it all the way to Oz without a little help from her friends, amiright? 
)
If you’re ready to SKIP all of the extra site drama and tech trauma and get straight to building a membership site you can start selling sell to your list starting next week…
I invite you to click your ruby slippers together three times
(or loafers if you’re not into the heel thing) and join me for...

How many times have you wished you could find a yellow brick road that would lead you directly to launching your membership that didn't require investing hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars (and didn't make you feel like flying monkeys were after you)?
You and me, both!!! It took me almost 5 years in business to figure out what was missing...recurring revenue!
I spent almost half a decade in this crazy cycle of find client, work for client, get paid by client (start next month at zero)... and then start all over again.
It was the clear path to insanity and burnout. But since I learned what was missing, I've spent almost all of my time helping other entrepreneurs create continuity income in their businessess.
One fifteen minute conversation changed my life...
I couldn't figure out how to turn tech into a membership to save my life.
There was only one of me, and OMG there's only so much tech I can deal with in a day. I couldn't earn more without working more - and I was so exhausted and burned out that I seriously considered just getting back into the traditional workforce.
I took a chance and booked a speed coaching call with an amazing guy and he changed how I was thinking about things - and changed the trajectory of my business.
Website Rescue was born that day. A subscription-based business that provides on-demand website support to entrepreneurs. Without that call, it would have never crossed my mind, but that's been my core business now for 7 years. It was my first membership, and it only happened because I took a chance and asked for help from someone with more experience who wasn't as close to my business as I was.
Since then, I've never had to start my month at zero or chase clients or worry about where my next "gig" is coming from. And I have the most fun in my business helping other entrepreneurs experience that same freedom and peace of mind that comes with knowing there's always money coming in the door.
Imagine building your site over the weekend
and selling your membership on Monday...seriously
Just think! Being so dang proud to show your partner and friends your new membership site,
and saying, “Oh, my gosh, look what I just built. Isn't this awesome?”
YOU CAN DO THIS Without.....
Wasted Time....
Wasted Money....
Wasted Tears....

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there additional costs? What else do I need?
We're building on WordPress® using the ThriveSuite for our theme and learning management system. That costs $90/quarter or $228/year. You can click this link to get your account set up now. This will be an additional cost for you. I'm providing everything else free for one year - that's saving you about $300 on software. You won't be billed automatically. You'll get an email before it's time to renew and have the option to accept or decline. The annual renewal fee for both items will be $197/year - still a huge savings for you if you decide to continue.
You'll also need your own domain and hosting account. If you have a website already, you're already ready to go. If you have questions about hosting or whether your system is set up to move forward with this, just shoot me at email to hello@pamc.me and we'll figure it out so you can get started with clarity.
Disclaimer: The link above is my affiliate link and I make a small commission when you purchase using that link. If you do use my link to purchase, you'll get extra support and direct assistance with your ThriveSuite set up at zero additional cost to you.
I’m not tech savvy. Will this work for me?
“If I turn on this button, how does this affect all the other things?”
Membership Website in a Weekend™ comes with everything you need to build your own website without the tears of tech. I hold your hand and provide super short, only one-step-per-video training so that you can get through it all without overwhelm and confusion -- or without wanting to throw in the towel. It’s digestible and doable no matter what your skill level or experience is. You don’t move on until you finish the step you’re on. It’s that simple. It’s literally built and recorded from the ground up!
I don’t have to start at zero? Tell me more!
Yep. That’s right. You don’t start at zero, you start with a clone! I’ve built the bones of the entire membership site and laid the groundwork for you. All the software is installed and ready to be licensed. All you have to do is follow the video, install a plug in, click a link and it will install the demo and you’re ready to go!
How am I able to get this site built in just hours?
When you start with a clone, you don’t have to stare at a blank fresh WordPress installation and start at zero. You’re actually starting at ten. So it’s very much like the all in ones - the difference here, you OWN IT. And everything that you have to do is drag and drop; point and click. If you can use a word document, you can build a membership site. If you can type, point and click you can build a membership site this weekend.
All-in-one platforms are so popular. What makes this a better option?
More control and more ownership of your assets at a fraction of the cost. All-in-one platforms are very restrictive and control how you can use their templates and layouts. With Membership Website in a Weekend, you get to brand your site and make it custom to your business in and enjoy the benefits of greater design and layout flexibility. Plus, I’ll be here walking you through the set up and design process so you’re never alone guessing, Googling answers, or staring at a blank screen.
How can I know I’ll be successful after the site is built?
The Platform Playbook™ is there to help you strategize the tech you actually need BEFORE you get started. If this was a football game, it would be the pregame warm up so that you can win the game before you ever start playing... before you ever get on the field, you’ll have a clear strategic plan to play the right game. (Not just taking what somebody hands you and limited to what they say you can do with their platform). You have the tools AND strategies to succeed.
Who owns my site and my content when I'm done?
You do. Plain and simple!
You'll be using my software licenses for Wishlist Member® and MemberCart™ (my white label version of StudioCart®). That's free to you for one year. As you approach the end of that year, I'll email and ask if you want to continue. You will NOT be billed automatically.
You'll have your own license to ThriveSuite.
Your content and everything you create within your platform belongs exclusively to you. No questions, no ambiguity. That's yours and only yours.
What about growing my membership, getting new members and all that stuff?
The business of membership is a very different proposition than the tech of membership. Membership Website in a Weekend™ is all about the tech of your WordPress® membership platform and it's specifically designed to make the tech part as painless (and fast) as possible.
We'll be discussing the business of membership - getting new members, keeping your existing members, managing your community and more - in the group. I have other programs specifically dedicated to this, too, but you're invited to the group in your welcome email and I'll be looking forward to your questions and comments (yes, it's actually me in there!!!)
Troubleshoot with confidence so you’re not staring at a blank screen wondering what to do next or how to fix problems. You can focus on serving and SELLING instead of building and fixing.
Avoid the terror and the trauma of installing a theme and 137 plugins. Instead use a professionally-created clone and start with all the "hard stuff" done for you! A much simpler AND easier solution!
Be PROUD of your offer with your custom design that stands out from all the rest and doesn’t look the same. Your membership will come to LIFE!
Build on brand so you don’t have to worry about other companies branding, look and feel on your platform. It will look AND feel like you!
No guessing, no ghosting. See the tech in real time so you’re not guessing about some developer and what they’re doing in the background (and you haven’t heard from them in two weeks). Stay CONFIDENT and in control!You wouldn’t rent land to build your dream home on, right?

The Final Moment of Decision
If you're still here, reading and thinking - maybe with your finger or your mouse poised hesitantly over that big pink button (or even the back button) - there's obviously something about this offer that has your attention. You might be feeling cautiously hopeful and ready to take a chance or flat out terrified that this might be something else that you've tried and then failed at. You aren't alone. We've all hesitated over that buy button before - and usually the greater the potential for reward on the other side of the button, the more paralysis we experience. Yes, we. Me, too. I've been there more times than I can count.
Before you do nothing and keep hanging out asking Google for right answers to the wrong questions, or waiting for guidance from the man behind the mysterious curtain, think carefully about what it's costing you to stay stuck. How much money are you leaving on the table by not getting your membership or online course out into the world? How much of your life are you spending right now trading hours for dollars instead of bringing your expertise to the people who need it the most?
I'm carrying all the risk here. I've packed more than a decade of knowledge and experience into this program, and I'm hanging my reputation on it. I do not say that lightly. If you're willing to take a chance on me, know that I'm going to take a chance on you, too - and I'm invested in your success. I'm not asking you to go get a broomstick from a wicked witch...I'm just asking you to take a chance on your own success. I'll be with you every step of the way.
