Make sure your community has a Shop! Just got my first order.
I launched my FC, The Art of Applying Academy, on 10-25-25. I’m celebrating that I just got my first purchase of a service from the Shop.
Offering services to your members such as coaching calls is a great way to increase customer LTV (lifetime value).
My goal is to break even on my total cost of tools to build my FC setup by end of 2025.

Yes, I own Fluent Cart LTD and I’m excited to see how it develops. I plan to stick with SureCart for my subscription community because I already have it set up and working well, and I avoid Stripe Billing’s add’l fee.
Congratulations 🥳
Gee Adriaansz thank you for your example and the encouragement!
I'm happy for you! ))
Artur Abakarov thank you!
Congrats!!!
Vigi1ante thank you!
That's so great Kaneisha G. !
Congratulations and thanks for the inspiration. Looks like you'll hit your goal.
Where are you finding your visitors/customers?
Nicolai Grut thank you! I hope to hit my goal by end of the year, likely from services. I have 10 paying members now, which is exciting. Getting them to post/engage is tough though!
My traffic comes from a very niche Youtube channel: https://youtube.com/c/@theartofapplying which feeds into a mailing list.
I’m releasing frequent behind the scenes emails with screenshots showing what it’s like in my community and what it’s like to work with my team.
I’ve been in business for 15 years, so I have a strong reputation and brand recognition. And I still don’t find it easy!
Very exciting Kaneisha G.! That's huge. Thanks for the info.
I enjoyed the video tour on your page, a great way for people to see what they can get.
I haven't checked out your channel yet, but from the onsite video, I like how intimiate your community sounds/feels.
That friendly, personal touch is something I always try to empart to my customers too. You come across as very genuine.
Just watched your channel intro video Kaneisha G. I love your whole approach. Great pitch, framing and info. I'd totally give you my money.
Nicolai yay! Thank you for such kind and encouraging words!
I congratulate Kaneisha
Lukas List thank you!

I love SureCart as well, but keep in mind that they handle everything — from the heavy lifting to managing and storing all your records. That means your data is shared, which takes away some of the charm and control that comes with self-hosting WordPress.
Woo + Helcim is a great alternative if you still want full control while waiting for FluentCart to catch up.
Tyler Gebhard thank you!! And yes, good point. I’m not super dedicated to self-hosting. I just wanted something easy to use that works!
