Members get monthly marketing and monetization resources for creator-educators scaling their business.
If you teach your ideas, skills, and expertise with your blog, newsletter, and paid offers such as courses, coaching, memberships, subscriptions, books, etc., then becoming a member is one of the simplest decisions you’ll make to turn more of your readers into buyers.
Inside the membership:
Every month, I release a new issue of Field Notes, a digital publication, where I share fundamental as well as tactical content and email marketing and monetization techniques for online business owners who sell their knowledge and expertise.
Note:
Members have access ONLY to what comes out after their membership begins. They do NOT have access to pre-existing content.
7 sales from pre-order launch
I did what you said, and managed to get 7 sales from the pre-order launch. This is just three days of promoting to my email list of 430 subscribers.

The core offer for members is the monthly Field Notes issues.
Basically, every month, you’ll get a report on how I and other creator-educators grow their audience, market, and sell their offers, with their content and emails.
These reports include fundamental and tactical lead generation, marketing, and sales strategies.
Disclaimers:
- This membership is for serious online business owners who sell courses, coaching, memberships, subscriptions, or services.
- This membership is not ideal for total beginners figuring out their niche or domain name who need help setting up their website.
You’ll get maximum benefit if you already have some subscribers and an offer or two.
It's so helpful!
I've bought many courses over the years, and yours are always so refreshing. I never feel overwhelmed or that I can't implement what you're teaching.
When taking action, I always refer back to your courses over other ones I've purchased because I feel like I'm listening to someone who's genuinely trying to help and teach.
Also, what I like about your courses is that you not only talk about what to do but also HOW to do it. Some of the other courses I've bought left me with more questions than answers, but not yours.

Are you serious about growing your business?
Do you want to get better at turning your readers into buyers?
If you’ve answered yes to these questions, then a membership is perfect for you.
I've made more progress in the few short months of following & working with Maliha than I have in almost three years
Maliha’s authenticity is magnetic & what I appreciate most; it’s how I connected with her newsletters & blog posts. She has a no-fluff approach to writing & includes practical, real-life examples for various user levels.
Scavenging the internet for tips & how-to’s to start & scale an online content business was frustratingly exhausting & brutally costly. So running into The Side Blogger site (& its offers) felt like walking into a cozy bookstore — very welcoming. Validating. Equipped & honestly just encouraging.
As a member now, I see even more value. Maliha shows up consistently - she answers all my questions & gives great feedback or suggests things I haven’t thought of or come across before. Being a recipe-follower sort of girl in this figure-it-out solopreneur world is rough so I thrive on having a very direct “roadmap” that spells things out for me.
Forward is forward, but I’ve made more progress in the few short months of following & working with Maliha than I have in the almost 3 years of part time blogging as a full-time, stay-at-home-mom of two littles.

I’ve had happy and satisfied members since I launched this membership, as you can see from the testimonials I’ve sprinkled throughout this page.
But…
I’ll be honest… I’ve also had people sign up for the membership, never implement a thing I’ve shared, and then quit.
You’re an adult, and I’ll treat you like an adult. I’m not going to send you weekly emails asking if you’ve done the work. That’s up to you.
The resources are here. How you use them depends entirely on you.
It was the best decision I have ever made
I highly recommend [a membership] to save you time and money. [A membership] is perfect for anyone who wants to scale and make more money.

$500 per month.
Kidding…
It’s only $37 per month, or $1.23 per day.
This gives you access to a monthly Field Notes issue full of fundamental and tactical marketing and sales tactics.
The value of your membership will prove to be much, much more than what I’m charging, provided you do not just stop at reading the stuff you’ll get inside.
You will need to adult up and implement.
If you’re ready to do that, only then will a membership to the Field Notes be a steal for you at the $1.23/day price point.
Monthly Field notes
The monthly Field Notes are comprised of case studies and trade secrets. You get access to the Notes published after your membership start date, but not the past Notes.
Becoming a “Field Notes” member is one of the simplest decisions you can make to advance your creator-educator business. One simple monthly pricing; cancel anytime if it’s not right for you.
1. Access (or lack thereof) to pre-existing content:
Members ONLY get access to what comes out AFTER they’ve become a member. This is my way of rewarding and thanking members who decide to stick around longer.
2. Refunds & Cancellations:
There are no refunds on subscriptions. However, you can cancel your membership at any time from your “Account” page. Go to the “Subscriptions” tab, click the three dots next to your subscription, and then click “Cancel” from the options.
3. Future Price Changes:
The membership price will likely increase in the future, but existing members will be grandfathered in. This is yet another way for me to reward long-term member
