"Why a Membership Business Model Might be Right for You" , Part 2

Other types of membership programs and websites you might be familiar with and that could be potential business models you could 'model after' for additional sources of income include:
Netflix - it's an online membership where you have access to unlimited movies for one price and your ccard is automatically charged.

• Music download sites
• Monthly book clubs
• Monthly wine clubs
• Coaching programs such as mine
• Programs for special industry related materials such as Pre-Paid Legal, financial sites, business development
• Associations or organizations online such as honeste.com, Information Marketing Assoc.
  
  There are many reasons you could create a membership site and you don't even have to create one that has to do with your expertise either!
  
  Be careful just going to the internet and doing a search about membership sites and trying to learn that way because I did that before writing this and there is sooo much info out there; you really don't want to waste money on the stuff that doesn't work.
  
  I have friends that teach this stuff - how to set up a membership site; something more than just a continuity program (I can teach you that stuff - how to do it the right way!). You can contact me if you'd like their information and then you'll be learning from a trusted source I know for sure.

One important thing to note when trying to start up a membership site or program is to remember to install the following systems or software PRIOR TO DOING ANYTHING, trust me:

• You want to have a shopping cart set up on your site to take recurring payments - don't try to set up the billing yourself or do pay pal
• You want to have a professionally designed website so you look more authentic and credible - no one will pay you if you look amateur
• You need to have automated processes and systems set up for when people join, respond to emails, for login purposes, etc. because the beauty of having a model like this is TO MAKE YOU MONEY WITHOUT SPENDING A TON OF TIME!!!

Now, if you would like some help figuring out what kind of membership website you could create and how to do it, I recommend you give me a try - I can pull this stuff out of anyone and help you design something that you can make money at.
