Tip 1: Build only the first month's content and then start selling the program: - people who are new at starting membership websites tend to think they need every module, every level, every month's content already developed before they can start to sell the program.
Veterans in the trade would look at that statement and laugh.
Having thought that in the past, but learned very quickly that's not the most effective way to get your membership up.
Tip 2: Build an affiliate hub: - having an affiliate program will help build your lifeline of new members, because affiliate marketers help promote your program for you.
Tip 3: There is no right way to build a membership site: - don't be afraid to try something new when starting a membership website.
You have all the advantages in trying something different that other membership programs haven't thought of yet.
Being original is what makes you stick out from the rest.
But in a way, you can say that about anything in life and in business.
Tip 4: Even the best membership websites have member cancellations: - don't take it personal, not everybody will like what you have to offer.
Expect to keep members for around 3 to 4 months.
Ways to prevent the loss in membership is to offer a lifetime price.
You will be surprised to see how many people would take the lifetime offer over a monthly membership.
Tip 5: Easter eggs: - to help keep your members longer, think about having an Easter egg every 2 to 3 months that wasn't expected.
This may provide your members with more value and help you keep that member an extra month or two.
This will also give you an extra month or two of income.
