SMART Training – Membership Marketers Club – 4 Simple Steps To Membership Profits

Hi Everyone…

 

Today we are going to talk about membership sites. These are popular and with good reason. They have replaced the old forums that you used to see people interacting on (with some exceptions like Reddit) and they are a viable alternative to Facebook Groups, for which you do not own the platform and are have restricted features.

 

It’s no secret that membership models are crazy profitable. That’s why so many big companies (like Sam’s Club, Amazon and Apple) are setting up membership clubs and sites. It’s a great model because members pay you over and over again for months or even years to come. Plus you get a proven list of buyers to sell things to on the backend.

 

If you’re looking to add a residual income opportunity to your online business, then check out the four simple steps we discuss and use them to get started today with your own membership site…

Step 1: Choose A Membership Model That Works For Your Needs

 

There is no “one size fits all” membership model. What you choose depends on your target market and what you’re selling. Here is a sampling of some of the most common membership site models:

 

• The monthly membership. As the name suggests, members pay a fee every month to retain access to the products or services. Examples of this model include Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited membership, your local gym membership, and even your cell phone provider.

 

• The annual membership. Here members pay yearly rather than monthly. Examples of this model include Amazon’s Prime Membership and members with an American Express charge card.

 

• The “pay once” membership. Here members pay once and get access to a membership site’s product or services forever. Sometimes you’ll see software or forums operating under this model.

 

• The free membership site. The idea here is that members need to register for a free account in order to get access to the site, so the owners get a nice list of email addresses. Many social networks such as Facebook and Twitter run on this model.

 

• The multi-tiered site. This is where prospective members get to choose a membership level that’s right for them, such as the bronze, silver or gold membership. Each tier comes with more value (and a higher price).

Next, let’s discuss the next step…

Step 2: Setting Up Your Membership Site

 

Your next step is to set up your site so that it works as smoothly and as hands-free as possible. Here are the two main components you need to snap into place to make that happen:

 

• The sales letter.
• The membership site itself.

 

The sales letter sits on the front page of your site, and it includes all the benefits people will receive once they sign up to be members. Your sales letter should include all the components of any other sales copy, including:

 

• Emotion. An emotional connection to the prospects (by telling a story or empathizing with prospects).

 

• Benefits. A focus on showcase the top benefits of the site. These benefits should appear in your headline, in your bulleted list of benefits, and even in the P.S. at the end of your letter (where applicable).

 

• Social Proof.  This could be testimonials, photos, videos, screenshots, scans or anything else that proves the claims made in the sales copy.

 

• Risk reversal (a guarantee). Depending on the model you use, the guarantee may be different for each membership model, but it is important to have a clearly stated policy.

 

• A strong call to action. This is where you explicitly tell people to join, along with a good reason as to why they should join now. Naturally, you’ll include a payment button right next to the call to action.

 

Once people complete the order form, they’ll be taken to the membership site to register their account. How this part of your site is set up really depends on what sort of membership site you’re running.

 

For example:

 

• If you set out a set amount of training materials by an autoresponder, you may have people register by filling out an opt-in form for your mailing list. This way you can immediately start marketing and building the relationship with these people.

 

• If you’ve set up a more traditional membership site with content you need to protect from prying eyes, then you can use a membership site script (such as our membership access sites or any other number of possibilities). These scripts manage memberships, drip-feed content, protect content and they can even run your affiliate program if you so choose.

 

The platform that you use for your membership site can vary. There are some done for you solutions that may work very well for you like ProductDyno or our proprietary membership site (review to come on our offer). You might also consider a WordPress theme that is preset for membership site support, there are many available through ThemeForest for a reasonable price.

 

The key is to find one that is not too difficult to set up and operate for you. You want to have flexibility yet be able to learn how to use the membership site quickly. Buying one that is too complicated may make it harder to get the site live and also to maintain. I have experienced this myself and have gone with the simpler is better idea (and that has worked).

 

Once you have the framework and the sales page, you can also start planning for promoting the site. This means creating some simple graphics and short videos that will show what it is that you are offering. Here too initially, simple is better. A logo, an explainer video, some samples of the content, and links to your new sales page should suffice…

 

Once your site is all set up, but BEFORE you go live. you can move onto the next step…

Step 3: Planning and Creating Your Content

 

If you’re running a membership site that requires content (such as a PLR membership site or a training site), then you need to create this content before you launch. You can do this yourself if you have the time, skills and inclination. Otherwise, you may hire a freelancer to do it for you. Check out UpWork.com and eLance.com to find skilled writers, programmers, and other freelancers.

 

If you decide that you want to do everything yourself, it is a good idea to plan for that. Work out at least an annual plan that includes the major points that you want to have included so you have a map of where you are going. This will help you get things done that will show members that you are constantly adding relevant content and keep them coming back again and again (and paying again and again too).

 

TIP: If you’re setting up a monthly membership site (meaning you need to upload new content every month), then create at least three months of detailed content that is ready to be published upfront. This gives you a cushion in case your site launch keeps you super busy for a couple of months. It will give you time to work on the content and milestones that you have set up for the year too.

 

Okay, On To The Next step…

Step 4: Promoting Your Membership Site

 

Once your sales page is up, your membership site is in place and the content is uploaded, then it’s time to unleash its awesomeness on the world. Here are a few ways to do it:

 

• Put an affiliate program in place and offer lifetime commissions to your marketing partners. This means that they get commissions on monthly fees for as long as their customer remains a member.

 

• Do co-promotions with other people in your niche. This means they promote your site, and you promote their products or services in return.

 

• Blog about your membership site. Not only should you be telling your own blog visitors, but you can do guest blogging as well.

 

• Spread the word on social media. You might even create a viral campaign and use a tool like PerkZilla to spread the word far and spread it fast.

 

• Buy ads. One could place to start is on Facebook, as their advertising platform lets you really hone in on your target market. You might also try Google AdWords, as well as purchasing ads in your niche.

 

That’s not an exhaustive list of advertising strategies by any stretch of the imagination, but it does give you a good place to start, plenty of traffic, and lots of new members.

 

So, what do you think so far?
