Cash In With The Big Boom in Membership Marketing

By Simon Tidwell

Lately, the economy has forced many people to leave their jobs or take reduced hours and many people in that circumstance have turned to the internet to make additional money. Often they spend hours searching for some product to sell or they develop some program or write a report and by the time they're ready to release it, they have spent hundreds or thousands of dollars. If they're lucky, they make more than they spent. If they're not lucky, like the vast majority, they don't make a dime.

You are probably aware that many people are making over $100,000 every year on the Internet. How do they do that? They have learned a secret formula for success and they repeat it over and over again. These successful internet entrepreneurs usually stay quiet about their secret method, because they are afraid that if they reveal it, it won't work for them anymore.

One of the secrets that have made many people a lot of money is using membership sites. Big sites like Facebook and U-tube come to mind, but there are literally thousands of membership sites. You are probably signed up on one or two membership sites yourself. The secret of many of the membership sites is that you can get paid a recurring membership fee if you have something that people want. Dating sites, for example often charge $20 - $40 a month. If you have a good membership site, you can earn $240 - $480 per year, per customer.

Niche membership websites are all over the internet and you may never have heard of them, unless they are about something that you are interested in. Could there be a membership site for dog groomers, dentists, skateboarders, or roller derby enthusiasts? Absolutely, and if you had a site that the people found and wanted to join, you are going to make money. But to avoid the costly mistakes that can doom your project, you will need some information and help before you get started.

The best way to learn about starting a successful membership site is to get the information from someone who has done it before. Unfortunately these people can be very hard to reach and they may not want to share their wealth secrets with you. There are articles on the internet that describe how to set up and develop membership sites. But these are of variable quality and you can waste a lot of time.
