Welcome back to another episode of the Not So Wimpy Entrepreneur Podcast!

 

Do teachers want memberships? 

 

This might be something you’re asking yourself if you’re thinking about creating a membership and wondering if teachers can afford it. 

 

Let me tell you something: they can. 

 

And if they see value in what you are offering them, they will buy it. 

 

Take it from someone who knows! Today’s guest, Brittany Hege, has a membership for 4th and 5th grade math teachers that is absolutely thriving. 

 

I brought her on to share the ins and outs of creating a membership for teachers. You’ll hear about some of the struggles that Brittany faced in creating and growing her membership and how she overcame them. 

 

Brittany is the math-obsessed educator behind Mix and Math. She is a teacher, learner, and lover of all things math. She graduated undergrad with a degree in Elementary Education and a master’s degree in Elementary Mathematics Education.

 

She began her career as a 5th-grade teacher before moving into a math interventionist/coach role. Currently, she serves upper elementary teachers through meaningful professional development both online and in schools.
