Start your Business with a
Membership site
By J. Walfield
(C)2004 J. Walfield
For all you newbies that want to start a
business - start it with a membership site.
If you have the basics of building websites then you will have
no problems starting a membership site.
There are already many membership sites all over the net, but
that doesn't mean there isn't room for more. If you have
something amazing to offer members, they will sign up.
And by signing up means a yearly or monthly subscription. (You
choose).
You want to make huge profits so how would you go about charging
new members?
Lets do an example:
First time members sign up for only 19.95 then pay only 35.00
for every year there after.
So if you had 500 new members your total for the following year
would be = $17500
Not a bad wage for just supplying information, or products
right?
Ok now 19.95 might be appealing to others, but for some people
it might sound like too much money and they will leave your
website without signing up.
How could you have gotten more signups? Well, if your
membership site is so amazing and you know that members will
continue their subscriptions the following year, drop the price
for new sign ups.
Yes as the old saying goes: you will always catch more flies
with honey than vinegar. (why anyone would want to catch flies
is beyond me lol).
So by dropping your first time sign up fee to lets say 12.95 or
maybe even 10.00 it is giving the new members a chance to go
into your site, have a look around, take advantage of everything
you are offering and no doubt by dropping the fee lower you
will get more members easier.
You could have 1500 new members by the end of a year. Wow and
then the fee is due.... $52500 would be your total!
The ideas are endless for you. But always think long term not
short term.
When I started my membership site over a year ago - the
incentive I used was: after members signed up, any new
software programs that were added to the Stash would be free for
all members. I add digital products for free on any given day.
So besides having more than enough business tutorials and ebooks,
my members can use each software program to make life easier
online and of course they come with resell rights, so any
members who already have an established business can use these
products on their sites for giveaways, or any other way they
think will help to get more customers.
And for any members starting new can use all tools from the
members area to start making money. So you should have some
really good offers for members and you wont have any problems
finding them.
Membership Sites seem to be the best way to make money online.
Don't give up on something you truly believe in.
And it's never too late to start. Just keep thinking positive!
So for all you newbies that want to start a business - start it
with a membership site.
