In this first lesson we are going to talk about some of the best reasons
why you should start your own membership site.
It is a profitable fact that many successful online business owners know,
membership sites are one of the best online business models that you
can use!
When it comes to setting up your own membership site there are many
different options available, so there’s no reason why you shouldn't
make them a part of your Internet marketing strategy. Reselling
information to your market on a monthly basis has many benefits
including:
A monthly recurring income.
This is one of the most popular benefits of starting a membership site.
When you build a membership site you'll have 100, 200 or even 500
members paying you on a monthly basis for your information. Imagine
the possibilities! With a $15 monthly membership fee, you could be
looking at a $7500 a month just for one site. If you provide more content
and charge a higher price for your membership site, you could be
earning well over six figures a year for your site.
Having affiliates promote for you.
Affiliates love membership sites. If they have a choice between
recurring monthly income and a one-time ebook sale in the same niche,
they are going to spend their time promoting the membership site. They
are looking for the same type of recurring income that you are. You can
easily set up your affiliate program through Clickbank, 2checkout or
Paydotcom. Promote your affiliate program to your members and super
affiliates to get more sales.
Dominating your niche.
No other platform allows you to have widespread coverage on a niche
the way that a membership site does. Within the gates of your
membership site, you can offer a wide variety of content. In addition to
articles and short reports, you can do teleconferences, videos and
interviews. The more content you put into your membership site and the
more members you have, the more your content and your
recommendations will be respected within the niche.
There’s no faster way to brand yourself as an expert within your niche
than by creating a membership site. All your future content and products
in the niche will have a lot more clout.
Plenty of backend sales opportunities.
The income from a membership site doesn't stop with the monthly
membership fees. There are plenty of opportunities to make additional
income from your site. You can sell private tutoring, advanced products
and platinum memberships. You can also repackage part of the content
used in your membership site and sell it as an independent product.
You can sell advertising as well to boost the profitability of your
membership site.
Easier than you may think!
It has never been easier to run a membership site, especially if you
don’t have any technical expertise. It used to be that you would need the
help of a web programmer to get a membership site set up properly.
Thanks to easy to use content management systems like Wordpress
and membership site scripts that will make security easy, you can have
your membership site set up within a matter of hours. There’s no
reason why you shouldn't start one right away!
