Join The Club: Create Your Own Membership Site
Membership has its privileges. Membership sites have become hot Internet
properties in the last few years, and can be a highly profitable source
of recurring income for speakers, trainers and other infopreneurs, but
most people who start them don't succeed with them. By learning the
right way to build your membership site, you can add new income streams,
reach new markets, and create greater profits in your business.
Who is this for?
I've written this for infopreneurs - that is, speakers, trainers,
authors, consultants, coaches and other information experts. If you make
money by teaching the ideas in your head, this is ideal for you.
Despite membership sites being relatively new, you can already find
Internet marketing experts selling their expertise on how to create your
own membership site. This information is excellent, but not all of it is
relevant for infopreneurs.
This program is different. Because I've written it with infopreneurs in
mind, you'll find that everything is relevant. It might not all be
relevant right now, because you might be at a different place in your
business. But where that matters, I'll explain how to evaluate it.
As an infopreneur, you have four big advantages over others when it
comes to building a successful membership site:
- You already have expertise in a topic area, and that's the topic
you will use for your membership site. Many other people starting a
membership site don't have that topic expertise.
- You're already generating income from this topic in other ways,
so (a) you know what people consider valuable, and (b) you're not
relying on your membership site to generate income.
- You already focus on this topic in your day-to-day work, unlike
many other people, who have to do this "on the side" away from their
regular work.
- You already have a market of clients, prospects and newsletter
readers who could be potential subscribers.
What's In It for You?
- Recurring Income: If you're charging a monthly or annual
subscription fee for your membership site, of course one of the biggest
benefits is that it gives you a source of recurring income.
- Market once:
When you convince somebody to sign up for your membership site, you can
then charge their credit card every month or every year over and over
again without having to convince them to re-sign each time.
- A vehicle for value:
If you're an expert in your area, you're always finding new material -
reading books and e-books, finding blog posts, finding articles,
listening to podcasts, and so on. The membership site gives you a place
where you can share that material with your members.
- Build loyalty:
Your membership site builds loyalty because the members remain as your
clients and customers. They look forward to hearing from you regularly.
- Reward loyalty:
Members get access to things that non-members don't - free downloads
of products, member-only events, discounts on other products and services.
- Maintain relationships:
You can give selected people free
membership, just so you can maintain that relationship with them.
