subject: The Yet Unknown Riches Of Membership Sites [print this page] Everyone knows about and probably visit daily one or more membership site. Whether it be youtube, myspace, facebook, a
forum, or something else, you're visiting a membership website. Some of
these sites are worth millions, if not billions, of dollars. People enjoy wasting
time on their laptops watching humorous videos or connecting with people that they
barely know.
The true power of generating income through membership sites shows itself when you look into the simpler niches. Membership
sites are unique in that you can charge a low fee and be content that the average user will be a member
for at least three months. That means that rather than charging a one time fee of $45, you can charge $15 a month.
Many users will stay members much longer if they like your service, but for the most part the average user will stay for three months (the same as setting a one-time fee).
The trick to running a profitable small membership site is coming up with a unique and
profitable idea. The truth is, with that alone you will most likely fail to make a decent profit.
Running a great membership site requires conglomerates, credibility to your name, and of course experience. When first starting, you won't have any
of this stuff (most likely).
If you want to have any success in running a membership website, you'll want to learn from someone who has had success. Unfortunately doing this can be a painful and tedious task if you don't know where to start. The first thing I was
taught when I got into membership sites was that if you don't love what you're writing about, you won't be able to keep doing it. Honestly,
that is just not the truth. If you see steady income coming from a certain area, that is enough to get you interested in
it. It doesn't hurt to love what you write about though of course.
