How Membership Sites Can Jump Start Your Monthly Income

How Membership Sites Can Jump Start Your Monthly Income

Jump Starter

Membership sites are a great example of a method which continually boosts your income.

Using a .97 monthly fee, if you recruit 10 members per month, you start off month 2 with 0 in income. The next month, you start the month with 0 in income - and this continues to grow with time and further promotion. You don't have to go too many months into the future before that monthly "base" becomes a solid income all by itself!

The trick is to create a monthly membership site, with products that people are wanting to resell or read themselves - this is already quite popular online. Membership sites can be based around articles, actual ready-to-go websites, ebooks, software collections - whatever YOUR customers need! Find your own focus or area that you will specialize in - be unique and you'll find a market! Alternatively, copy successful operations (not exactly), and you'll find a market as well!

To promote your membership site, I'd suggest mailouts to your list, posting to forums, classified ad postings, blog posts, etc to raise awareness and find your initial customers. Press releases, articles, links prominently placed on your website, giving away free materials, "sponsored" by your membership site - these are all good promotional methods.

Then repeat the promotional activities over and over again, increasing your income month over month.

Another great thing about membership sites is that they offer content - ebooks, software, resale rights - that you can sell as individual products. Frankly, some membership sites have a large amount of slowly growing material - it may be a good strategy to join such a site, download the materials that are stored there, and then cancel your membership.

For a one month fee, you may be able to download five, ten, or more products that you can create websites for, promote to your list, offer as affiliate products, etc. If you are creating your own membership site, this is one area where you can access a large amount of content, for the effort of downloading it!

Another great resource for material to offer in your own membership site are the products offered in the Christmas Giveaways, though I have seen Valentine's and Easter Giveaways too - they can break out during ANY period of the year! There are often over 100 different products, from ebooks to software, all fairly recent, and all trying to seduce subscribers by offering the best product they can. These products are often being sold at full price right before, and immediately after, such a promotion.

Other types of membership sites have a large amount of new content added each month - some offer new websites each month, some offer 50-250 new private label articles each month. If you are interested in these products, the most benefit is gained from the fresh material. In other words, when material is first added, virtually no one else has this material - making it fairly unique on the internet. This makes the fresh material much more valuable than the dated material that many more people have downloaded, created, and posted around the internet. This type of site is one that you would do best to continue your membership in - as the fresh content is the real value.

Once you have your products, a search on Google for "membership site management software" will give you a huge variety of different platforms to run your membership site in.

The part that makes it work so well is that because PayPal memberships take money out of customer's accounts automatically, unsubscription rates are very low - once you get a member, you've got them for quite a while - even if they don't visit your site, or use your resources - unsubscribing is a process that most will just leave alone as too much of a hassle!

Best of all, the amount you make will grow every month, as long as you do some promotion - and it WILL become a huge, recurring source of income for you! The key is persistence - the effort will create a rolling tidal wave that gets bigger each and every month. Keep pushing through the inevitable slow beginning to get some small successes and then the momentum will continue to build - this WILL work for you over time!
