Frequently Asked Questions

What's in the 30-day club launch checklist?
The checklist is a day-by-day guide covering: defining your club identity and membership profile, choosing and setting up the right tools, planning and promoting your first event, recruiting your first 20 members, running a great first meeting, setting up recurring events and communications, launching a membership tier, and building the referral systems that grow your club sustainably. It's based on what actually works across hundreds of successful community clubs.
Is this checklist only for Who's In users?
No — the checklist is platform-agnostic for the strategic steps (defining your club, recruiting members, running great meetings). However, the tool setup sections reference Who's In specifically, since it's the platform we recommend and the one the majority of checklist users end up using. You can apply the principles to any event management platform.
I already have a club. Is this checklist useful for me?
Yes, particularly sections 4-10. Many established clubs have never done a structured review of their communication rhythm, membership tier pricing, or referral systems. Dipping back into the checklist for those sections often surfaces quick wins. The membership tier and referral sections in particular frequently help clubs that have plateaued in growth.
What kind of clubs is this checklist designed for?
The checklist is designed for community clubs that meet in person — running groups, book clubs, sports teams, hiking groups, photography clubs, craft circles, social clubs, and similar. It assumes you're a volunteer or part-time organizer, not a professional event producer. The advice is calibrated for informal community clubs, not formal nonprofits or professional associations.
How long does it take to go through the checklist?
The checklist is designed to unfold over 30 days, with each day requiring 15-60 minutes of active work. Total time investment is roughly 10-15 hours spread over a month. The most time-intensive week is week 2, which covers member recruitment and first event preparation. After day 30, most clubs are running sustainably with recurring events and an active membership.
Will I receive the checklist immediately after signing up?
Yes — but not by email. The moment you submit the form on this page, all 10 phases unlock right there, instantly, with no waiting period or upsell step. We don't have automatic email delivery wired up yet, so nothing separate lands in your inbox — if you'd like a copy sent directly, email [email protected] and we'll follow up personally.
