Summary
Find Your Super Users, Master the Forever Transaction, and Build Recurring Revenue
If you've ever used ZipCar, Amazon Prime, Spotify, NetFlix, Groupon, Weight Watchers, SurveyMonkey, United Mileage Plus, Pinterest, or Twitter, you are part of The Membership Economy, an increasingly popular model that author Robbie Kellman Baxter sees as the inevitable result of technological advancements, social trends, and a generation in transition.
The Membership Economy argues that we are now moving away from ownership, but we still want the benefits that come with access.
"As individuals grow frustrated with the burdens of owning, caring for, and storing too much stuff, they are looking for ways to minimize that stress. They are also experiencing a need for meaningful connection and community."
The membership-based business is a problem solver for both businesses and individuals. It spares people from the duties of ownership and provides a feeling of commonality and affiliation. For businesses it offers the opportunity to create a "forever customer" who remains loyal and participatory, even as the company shifts and changes. Membership allows for building direct relationships and continuously generates a data stream that can be tapped for a variety of purposes.
Ultimately it provides the cachet of belonging.

OK but longer than it needed to be
I didn't mind the book but felt the author dragged out certain points and revisited the same examples too often.

Not bad but not for me right now
It’s not that this is bad it just did not resonate with me. I’m sure at some point when my audience has been developed a little further and I’m in the right place to move membership higher up my agenda it will have greater relevance.

Better than I expected!
I picked up this book thinking it would be a good supplement to my library, not really expecting more than some useful tips here and there but Robbie has over-delivered.
Not only do you get a solid understanding of the membership economy but the book guides you through practical steps to put it into practice. I felt like I had a personal coach!
It's for this reason that it deserves 5 stars and I'd add that it's an essential for any person in business, large or small.
Well worth your time.

Good intro to the subject
Good intro to the subject, I was looking for more details and tactics for marketing as someone who already has a subscription based business. If you don’t have a sub business you will probably get some real value from this.
