Dare to Diversify
RPMs are all over the place. Traffic is up and down. And reach on social isn’t what it used to be. It’s time to diversify your revenue.
The Dare to Diversify competition is designed to help creators launch a membership program on Grocers List before June 30, 2026. Anyone who launches a membership program by June 30 will automatically be entered into our $15,000 cash prize pool. But for a select group of creators, we’re offering something even BIGGER.
Membership Accelerator 🚀
We’re so confident memberships will become a meaningful revenue stream for you that we’re offering a revenue guarantee through our Membership Accelerator program. We’re selecting 50 creators to join the program and launch their membership using our proven checklist.
Spots are limited, and applications are reviewed to ensure the program is a good fit.
For those selected for the program, if you follow the checklist and your membership program doesn’t generate $2,500 in gross sales within 12 months of launch, we’ll pay YOU the difference. And if you launch before June 30, 2026, you will automatically be entered into the competition.
