Top 10 Membership Models, Part 2

By

Last week we looked at 5 of the top 10 membership models. To review, we looked at the Publisher, UPS, Micro-Continuity, Modular Course and Protected Download area models, all of which are typically paid memberships. Today we’ll take a look at the other 5 models in the top 10, which are usually not fee-based membership sites, but instead, an added feature or communication tool for your business.

6. Community Center: A community center would simply be a membership site that is driven through a forum such as SimplePress, a WordPress plugin that integrates very nicely with WishList Member. Members pay a monthly fee to join a community, and then communicate through forum discussions. Forums are very popular with many industries, and are often used as optional methods of support for products and websites. Companies like Lavasoft, Infusionsoft, WordPress, and many others have added forums as a level of support to encourage users to share their vast knowledge and experience to troubleshoot and solve technical issues. Associations and organizations often take advantage of forums to encourage interaction among members – to give them that sense of community and comradery. [Read more…]

Top 10 Membership Models, Part 1

By

As a WishList Member Certified Developer (and yes this is an affiliate link and I do get $$ if you use it to purchase the product), I just love introducing my clients to the world of membership sites. Over the past couple of years, Membership sites have been popping up here there and everywhere, and have quickly become the next best method for getting known as an expert in your field, building a community or developing your next product! For those of you who have been thinking about jumping into the world of membership sites but just don’t know where to start, I’ll be covering the top 10 membership site models over the next couple of weeks to give you an idea of the possibilities, and hopefully get your creative juices flowing. Part 1 will cover the first 5 top membership models, and we’ll finish up with Part 2 next week.

1. Publisher Model: This is probably one of the most common membership models, as it is one of the easiest ones to set up. With the publisher model, fresh content is delivered on a regular, ongoing basis – typically daily or weekly. With this type of membership, it doesn’t matter when someone becomes a member … because they will automatically gain access to the current content as well as all of the content that has been published in the past, which can be delivered in a variety of ways … as articles, audio files, video, PDFs, etc. A good example of this model is http://www.money-guy.com/. Content is delivered as an audio interview on a weekly basis with both a free and paid level of membership. The free level gives members access to the 15 latest shows and show notes as well as receive an email update every time a new show is posted. The paid level (Premium), however, gains instant access to a variety of other benfits and features. [Read more…]

Parlay Your Public Speaking Into Additional Income

By

by Doreen DeJesus
  1. Transcribe your speech or presentation. You can use the transcription as the basis for a book. With resources on the Internet, you can very easily publish your book without going through the traditional publishing process.
  2. Create an article. Once you have your speech or presentation transcribed, you can turn 500 word to 700 word passages into articles. Your articles can then be submitted to article directories or posted to your website. Remember to include a link, in your author box, to your sales page so people can click on the link and buy your book.

Memberships = Residual Income, BUT

By

When I say “Membership Sites“, what’s one of the first things that comes to mind?
Residual income right?

Getting paid month after month is definitely a nice situation but here’s the problem…

If you can’t get your membership site off the ground, you’ll never be able to enjoy the residual benefits of having one.

And that’s where most people get stuck.

Why?

Because they either make it too hard or they get caught up in the “technical” aspects of building a membership.

Here’s the good news…

I found a solution that will make this a breeze for you.

It’s called WishList Member:

If you like WordPress, you’ll LOVE WishList Member because it quickly (and easily) turns your blog into a full fledged membership site.

It’s a excellent product and they have great support (including 30+ videos you can view for free before even buying the product).

Take a look:

Enjoy!

P.S. If you sell any “digital products” online, you may also want to look at this as a way to deliver your products because it gives you greater control over who has access to your products 🙂

4 Simple Steps to Starting Your Affiliate Program

By

by Alicia M Forest, MBA
Multiple Streams Queen & Coach

Alicia Forest, Multiple Streams QueenI was one of those online business owners who was hesitant to add an affiliate program to my business building efforts. But once my clients and customers starting asking me if I had one that they could join, I knew it was time to bite the bullet and conquer this particular piece of technology.

Now, of course, I wonder why the heck I waited so long (talk about leaving money on the table!). It couldn’t be simpler to get started with your own affiliate program. You can get very elaborate, but the basic set-up is easy, and once you do one campaign, the next one is a piece of cake.

Make Passive Income a Priority

By

by Jan Wallen

Is your income limited because it depends primarily on your time? Do you have income when you’re speaking or working with clients, and no income when you’re not?

It’s easier than you think to quickly create and sell information products and generate passive income.

Here’s what one author and speaker did. And you can do something similar.

Before his book had sold enough copies that anyone would recognize it by name, this author had a chance to speak at the American Orthodontics Association. Unfortunately, he was only selling the book at the back of the room, and his other books, tapes and videos were low priced and also meant little to most people at this point in time.
