Membership Outline

Makers’ Momentum Club is a membership platform that provides online training, courses, resources and other content for artists and makers who would like to turn their creative work into a business.

The Membership is an ongoing commitment where you can get regular support and guidance. 

The aim is to support people who make physical products from their artwork to consistently generate income from sales of those products.

Whilst the content may be useful for other small business owners, the Membership is best suited to artists, handmade makers and craftspeople in their first 5 years of business.

Eligibility 

You must be over 18 to register as a Member and you must either have a business already or have the intention of starting one within the next 12 months.

Membership Specifics

There are four core elements to the Membership:

Maker’s Business Foundation

Maker’s Business Foundation is a 48 lesson course. All lessons are available inside the members area of the website.

Although the course is designed to be watched one lesson a week for 48 weeks, members can access all content immediately and will retain access for as long as they have an active membership.

Question and Answer Sessions

Each month you will get the chance to ask questions about your business and get feedback on your website or online store(s) on a live Q&A call.

We will answer questions submitted in advance first, and will also answer questions asked on the call if there is time.

The calls will take place in the community and the replays will be available to watch in the members area of the website.

Self Study

In addition to the Maker’s Business Foundation course and live Q&As there will be additional training resources available for members to consider in their own time.

We have a library of online training, courses, resources and other content relating to creating and growing a creative business. New content is added regularly

This content is available to watch inside the members area of the membership website.

The content will be available on an ongoing basis and will generally only be removed if the content is no longer relevant or accurate.

Members will will retain access for as long as they have an active membership.

For best results you should work through the course content in your own time. Failure to do so may limit your ability to learn from the tips and guidance shared in the live sessions. The content of all resources and training will be provided in English, translations are not available.

Private Community

You will have access to the Makers’ Momentum Club Community (the “Community) to support you during the Membership.

The intention of the Community is to provide community support and access to connect with a network of individuals at a similar stage of building their maker or handmade business and who are facing similar challenges. 

From time to time, Nicola may post and offer support in the Community but there is no guarantee that posts will be responded to immediately.

Please be advised that whilst we hope that you will be able to utilise the Community, we make no guarantees as to the availability of the Community and/or the content within the Community at any time. Therefore, always ensure that you have back-up copies of any information shared within the Community.
