In this video series, I’m going to talk you through how you can get up and running with your own profitable membership site quickly…and this video set will cover all the steps needed. However, it would take ten, twenty hours or more of coaching to cover every single aspect in detail—for example, how to create the web pages for your membership site. If you aren’t familiar with how to create web pages, it is beyond the scope of this particular video set to talk you through that, but there are other good tutorials available that cover that. Also, you can of course outsource such tasks, perhaps to people on your staff, or to freelancers at sites such as Elance-dot-com or Gurudot-com. But what I will talk you through here are most of the important steps to take to start with, effectively, nothing, and build up a membership site quickly and specifically a profitable membership site quickly. So it would be best to consider this video series a business plan you can follow along with, and then when you require more detail, you look elsewhere to find that detail. Really, what I’m giving you here is a business plan to tell you how to decide upon…build…and launch a profitable membership site. I’ve been running profitable membership sites online for well over five years now, and I’ve also been running continuity programs. Membership sites are, I would say, just a private area site online where people pay to gain access. They may pay on a monthly basis, they may pay on an annual basis…and some membership sites are even lifetime sites, which basically means that you have access for as long as the site’s online, which hopefully will be a good long period of time. A continuity program, by contrast, uses the monthly billing model, but I would say that term applies more to things such as, for example, the CD of the month if you’re sending out CD’s of interviews every month, let’s say, to your subscribers. That’s a continuity program—not a membership program, because they aren’t accessing a member site online…you’re just sending them something every month. Generally, I would say that continuity programs are more for physical goods that are sent once a month…and you then bill your customers monthly. But we’ll be focusing here on membership sites which does often have the same billing model—membership sites are often billed monthly—but everything you give your customers is digital. They just get access to a website, and they can download ebooks or audio or video, for example, but it’s all digital. You aren’t actually sending them anything physical.
