Secrets To Creating Killer Membership Sites

Dunno why I didnt create membership sites sooner. I realized
that I had a knack for them a long time ago. I find them easier
to set up, but logging into paypal and seeing money everyday
without hardly any work at all rocks!! The funniest thing of all,
if I told you what niche one my membership sites are you
would laugh. It brings in over $9000 a month and I only update
it every week or so to keep members happy.

After many crappy BAD (oh and I mean bad) failures, and
small successes that turned into bigger successes, wanted to
give back to this fantastic forum.

Here are my steps to running a successful niche membership /
forum.

TIP #1 - A GOOD NICHE

You gotta have niche where people craving for information. If
you see something or a product selling well, chances are a
membership site will also go very well and people will pay good
money for this. I have sneaky secret here. I have some
successful ebook sites, and you will notice your ebooks sales
hit a peak and then slow down. Who cares, i get all my info
from my ebooks, spin it and add even better hard core info and
that gives me great niche content for my membership sites.

The best place I look for ideas is ebay, and that 43things
website, to see what people are craving for. There you will find
people asking for things in bold (which means it is the most
sorted after) As I write this I see the three most bolded are "be
a better friend" "write a novel" "get in shape" Wow, That can
really get the juices flowing, and I already have a ton of niche


ideas just from these group of words, but I guess you get my
drift.

amazon > Top sellers also has a great series of topics that are
hot and people are whipping their credit cards out to buy. So
that is a good way to research as well.

TIP #2 - HEY! DONT BE GREEDY NOW!

The mistake I made with some of my sites is being to greedy.
Dont think you are going to kill it with your $97 sites straight
away. Start off small, make mistakes and learn from a smaller
project first. Infact if you have cheaper membership, more
people are likely to join and your stick rate is better. I found
this out pretty fast.

Start off with membership prices of 9.95 - 14.95. In all my
testing these worked well. 19.95 also did very well, and the
stick rate was good too.

Once you have a handle on this, then you can go onto bigger
and better things. Dont start off big. I did this several times
and failed miserably. Remember it is about helping people, and
over delivery. Once people see that you can carry your own,
they will follow you and buy everything you offer. Become your
prospect or ask your friend or partner what they would pay per
month when you show them your membership site and the
contents each person has access too.

Just don't be greedy! That never gets anyone anywhere in IM.


TIP #3 - SEE THE FUTURE FROM DAY 0

Even before you set up your membership site. Ask yourself. Do
you want to keep it? Do you want to sell it? Are you just using
it to test? Is it just a money spinner or a real business?

Why ask these important questions? well it is simple but has to
do with clickbank and paypal. Remember when you use paypal
for your membership sites, your users are subscribed to an
email address only attached to you. So if you sell the site later
on to another person, they will have to get all the users to
unsubscribe and resubscribe to their paypal address. You wont
be able to sell the site.

However if you are with clickbank, all that will need to happen
is a change of vendor nickname and the money and monthly
payments are all the same. Nothing else will change, so as long
as the buyer has a clickbank name, all is good. But it seems in
my testing there is usually a higher refund rate with clickbank
and its recurring function. So you can see there are many pros
and cons you must weigh up from day one.

TIP #4 - DAY 1 NO GHOST TOWNS ALLOWED!

Make sure from day one, people can see other members, can
interact and have lots of stuff to read. This is important as you
do not want refunds straight away and you want to get them
thinking they have done the right thing to join your awesome
site.

I like to have sticky posts, forum threads and other reports say
at least 5 x 1000 reports and other info for users to sink their
teeth into from day one. If you are charging lets say 14.95 p/m


that should be enough. Then you just have to make sure you
are updateing about 2-4 times a month.

If you are a good writer and can come up content do this
yourself. If not I suggest you look through forums and hire
content or ghost writers. There are many talented ones you
can hire for an extremely good price. They can come up with
stuff for you to post, update. You can literally have 12 months
of content in advance ready by doing this (outsourcing).

TIP #5 - HOW TO GET MEMBERS FLOODING YOUR SITE!?

First you need a good look to your membership site. I use
OPTIMIZE PRESS now to build all my membership sites. You
can literally have them all up and running within minutes of
downloading the special software. Click here to download

Next you need visitors. Without visitors and traffic how are you
going to get paid right? good question! You can write articles,
or PPC. But I do not really do this. I join in other forums and
notify others about my memberships. But only those I am good
friends with, and well known characters there too. Until
recently I learned the quickest way you can flood your
membership sites with members are from doing these 4 things
:_

1) Work in an affilate program, with good commissions.

2) Give away say a free 7 day trial. 7 days seems to work the
best for me. But you have to test this of course.

3) Price your membership low, to entice people to join.
(remember funnels, low price to join and then add a nice price
back end product or coaching later! )


4) Pay others to advertise your site, text banner ads on other
forums. This works very good, but you have to make sure you
keep watch and put your ads in front of very targeted sites.
With highly targeted audiences, the most likely to join and pay
for your service / membership you have on offer.

Do these 4 things combined and you will have a buzzing
membership site with lots of money coming in each month.

Another secret is to get more targeted traffic is go to other
people selling niche ebooks in your field. I actually purchase
their product. I email them saying that their product is ok, but
give them tips on sales copy and other ideas. I then ask them
if they would like to help their members out, to put a link to my
free 7 day trial on their thankyou page when people download
their free ebook or product. I think about 40% of people I
bought products and offered this took me up!!!! So well worth
my time and effort and I get lots of new members this way,
which = $$$ in the long run.

TIP #6 - REVERSE ENGINEER IT STUUUPID!

Don't go looking for people who want to join your site. Look for
people selling sites and services such as yours. Especially those
making a living out of it.

I have made alot of money by first finding a clickbank product /
ebook similar to mine. Going over to google and typing this
product with "" the inverted quotes. You will see a list of review
product sites show up for this product. These are merely
clickbank affiliates trying to sell these clickbank sites and get
affilate sales. All you do is simply contact these site owners,
blogs, reviewers and ask if they would like to advertise your
membership site as an affiliate. You do not get much more


targeted than that, if you are after someone looking to sell
your site, but doesn't know it yet!!! LOL.

If they say no, its their loss. There are hundreds of others I
have found in google just by doing this simply 1 minute
exercise. The whole thing is to work smarter, not harder when
getting your traffic.

TIP #7 - NOW FOR THE HOME RUN!

After thousands of dollars, hundreds of subscribers, I have
finally worked out that all your users will come under these
categories.

1) "Im gunna screw this guy, and keep signing up for the
freebie trial Nyuck Nyuck" - 5%

2) "Its sounds ok, I am gunna stay a while and see what this is
like" - 30%

3) "This stuff is helping me, I am gunna stay on board, I have
more to learn" - 50%

3) "OMG! This stuff is effing awesome I want this guys babies!"
- About 15% of people.

There might be a few others but you get my drift. On minute
occasions you will probably peeve people, have mediocre
people, but then you have the people who are addicts and
crave your stuff and even email you asking when the next
update is. Make sure you help them. I call them the addicts.
They are awesome.

So....


Ok you have people subscribing for your free 7 dayer! Then
they think, I am gunna stay, then after a month or so if they
are thinking, "This guy is a freaking genius" You have done
your job well. But how can we now make more money from
them. Most people stop here, but stuff that! Let us now HIT
THE BALL OUT OF THE PARK....

You have monthly income coming in....CHECK!

But lets put that on steroids. After a certain time period....I say
a few months I email people and ask them if they want to get
lifetime access and wont have to worry about the constant
recurring income they can get lifetime access of a once only
payment of $97. They actually think you are doing them a
favour and most of the addicts and other members will take
you up on this offer. It can add lots of money to the money
already coming in.

The second thing ....and this is a BIGGIE is that you can now
add your backend to your sales funnel. Even some really good
marketers miss out on this. You can offer A bigger
membership, more private one-on-one COACHING, video
products etc.

I normally just stick to one on one coaching ($500 - $997) and
people lap it up, especially the addicts I talked about before.
Infact if you are doing a good job, some people will even start
begging you for more of a one on one experience. But
Coaching works well, and making sure you email members and
let them know about this, and whenever you have an important
update that needs to get out.

OK so what are you doing still reading this. Go and create that
membership site you have always wanted to start. Earn some


money so your mrs can go and blow it on those expensive
crappy looking shoes she has always wanted. :P

I bring in a lot of money each month, I mean about 20 times
more than when i did when I worked a crumby 9-5 job. I do
owe a lot of my success to OPTIMIZE PRESS because it is so
good and easy now to build all my membership sites. You can
literally have them all up and running within minutes of
downloading the special software. Click here to download
OPTIMIZE PRESS now!

I use to sit behind my computer thinking the following :-

- I am a nobody?
- I am a crap marketer?
- Why the hell would people listen to me?
- Where am I going to get the info I need?

What I have come to realise is that people get a little
overwhelmed by the gurus. I do not class myself as one.
People would rather get help from an ordinary successful
person. And if that info can help them make money / lose
weight etc they are HAPPY! That is my main goal with all my
sites. Help people first, then the money will come. It is cliche,
but is true.

These days I outsource alot of stuff. After reading Tims book
the "4 hour work week" it was just what I needed. I
recommend you go and read it if you want a great perspective
on a better functioning automated business online. To cut a
long story short what I got out of the book was, if you are crap
at something and have the money, get an expert to do it for
you.

So I would tell you to go to an expert or pay a good


ghostwriter / researcher. I do this for niches I do not know alot
about. You will be surprised at the good results you get from
this. Just because you know nothing about a niche means
nothing. Go and spend a day reading up about your niche and
joins some online forums, there is a treasure trove of
information in any niche even my silly one if you know where
to look.

I use OPTIMIZE PRESS now to build all my membership sites.

Good luck, and heres cheers to your online profits!
