My Review of Predictable Profits by Stu McLaren

By Brian Dixon, Co-founder of Hope*writers

When my co-founders and I started Hope*writers, we had a vision: to create a thriving community where writers could find encouragement, guidance, and the practical steps to take their writing from hobby to profession. What we didn’t have was a proven strategy to turn that vision into a sustainable business model—one that would allow us to serve our members deeply while also creating financial stability for our company.

That’s where Stu McLaren changed everything.

Stu’s membership strategies were instrumental in helping us launch, grow, and scale Hope*writers into the thriving, supportive, and profitable community it is today. His insights on creating predictable, recurring revenue allowed us to shift from the exhausting cycle of one-off product launches to a model that delivers continuous value while providing financial security.

In Predictable Profits, Stu lays out the exact principles that helped us build Hope*writers into a multi-million dollar membership business. This book is not theory—it’s a roadmap. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to scale, Stu teaches you:
✔ How to attract and retain the right members—without relying on high-pressure sales tactics.
✔ Why membership businesses create long-term stability (instead of the revenue rollercoaster).
✔ How to structure content and engagement to keep members coming back month after month.

One of the most game-changing lessons we learned from Stu was the power of open-and-closed cart launches—a counterintuitive approach that skyrocketed our membership growth by building anticipation and exclusivity. His strategies around member retention, content delivery, and community engagement have helped us create a space where members don’t just join—they stay.

If you’ve ever dreamed of turning your knowledge, expertise, or passion into a thriving membership business that serves people deeply while providing financial freedom, Predictable Profits is the book you’ve been waiting for.

Thank you, Stu McLaren, for sharing your wisdom. Hope*writers wouldn’t be where it is today without your guidance.

Highly recommended for entrepreneurs, community builders, and anyone looking for a smarter way to build a business that lasts.

No brainer if you want to serve your audience and start a membership

Predictable Profits is an absolute delight! Listening to the audio was not only easy but also incredibly enjoyable—Stu’s clear, step-by-step explanations made complex concepts wonderfully accessible. Now that I've finished the audio, I'm excited to dive into the hard copy, marking up all the insightful details. Stu's motivating vibe truly inspires me, and I’m even more pumped to bring my membership to market.

Fabulous listen

I am working on my membership now. It was great to listen to this as I drive. I have the physical book as well. Stu really opened my eyes on things I hadn’t thought about for my membership. This book is definitely a guide for creating a profitable and predictable profit from my membership soon to be launched.
