Why Membership Sites Are The Best Ways To Find Online And How To Build Them?
In the decades since the advent of online marketing, membership sites have been regarded as gold mines for making as much profit as possible as quickly as possible. And the reason is that you do the job once as an owner and are often paid by people who are interested and want to continue learning from you. Or they like to use resources and tools as often as they needed to run their own online businesses.
The question is, despite knowing that affiliate sites are the best and fastest way to earn a living, why do so many people hesitate to have one? The most common reasons I have found are from their responses to surveys that they are not technical. They do not know how to create a website not to mention membership. And in addition, it involves a lot of real work and time as you have to provide value in the form of content, tools, and resources to advance those who wish to remain members. Even though they are free as Mark Ling's AffiloBlueprint, the same principles apply as many retailers not only want to sell more but also get more leads. Because for them and for me as well, every subscriber costs a dollar and every paying customer costs two dollars or more depending on what you buy.
From my point of view, building a membership should not be so difficult. You just have to sign up for those courses, study and apply, and then get ready to go. Nine years ago since I started my online marketing journey, I have invested in many membership courses. Apart from AffiloBlueprint, I have access to Omar Martin's My Unfair Advantage, Adam Short's Niche Classroom, and Dave Guindon and Chris Guthrie's Suites. They all include a set of 20-40 video tutorials, PDF manuals, software applications, and other resources.
Although there are many topics for building membership courses, the one I used 5 years ago is Optimize Press. Designed and developed by James Dyson of the UK, it is designed to build blogs, landing pages, sales pages, and affiliate sites. And it is the most expensive but in terms of quality and customer support, it is among the best. After learning and applying what they teach in their video lessons, I have created many landing pages, sales books, and membership sites in many places. In addition to online marketing, I have other topics such as health, personal development, and technology.
So as already mentioned, how do you build a membership site?
.It may surprise you if I tell you the answer.
.Which is -
.You do not start by building a membership site.
.Instead, start with finding a profitable niche.
.As in the forums and Facebook groups, you can search for related interests or problems but you have managed to overcome them.
Then all you need to do is connect with those groups of people as you introduce yourself and get to know them, build relationships and understand them about how you usually make friends. Find out your interests, challenges, strengths, and weaknesses before compiling them in your brochure. And then for those, you know what they want.
I hear a lot of people talking about finding, knowing, and identifying your market first before starting any business. True. And in online business, the ones I mentioned above are those markets.
Then use the points you have collected and write a series of articles on them. Then assemble them into Microsoft Word or Open Office before saving them as PDF e-books.
Once I have done that, the next thing I will continue to do is copy and paste the contents of those articles into the PowerPoint slides. At the same time, I will be subscribing to the 30-day Camtasia Studio trial to create and produce video recordings by reading and adding other features to those slides.
When it comes to videos, there are two ways you can do it. The first is a 10-20 direct video series that will be best for low to medium online courses. But if you look at high-value training programs, I would recommend 10-20 modules per module that include a 10-20 video series. The first module can be about niche and keyword research while the second and third touch on finding profitable integrated programs that create engaging content etc.
When I have finished making PDF and video references, I will add some bonuses as resources. It can be discussions with other professionals in the same niche, software tools, and additional series of PDF and video.
When it comes to building the site itself, I will touch on building entry pages, marketing offers, and membership sites from Optimize Press. Instead of using posts, I will focus more on pages that make specific settings and add plugins to improve the look and use of the affiliate site.
I will also add a menu at the top to allow customers to get what they want quickly and easily. It will include Home, Guidelines, Videos, Resources, Partners, and the Contact Page. Under videos, there will be multiple pages and each will be assigned to one video on a specific topic.
Finally, I will purchase Custom List Members to allow certain customers to enter their username and password which they will receive via email and redirected after registration to the registration page to which they will be redirected upon receipt of their copies.
In terms of pricing, members may choose to pay monthly and annually. They can also cancel at any time if they do not wish to continue as members.
Finally, I will invite them to join my Facebook community group where they can connect and make Joint Venture business deals.
