Most likely, you have heard about people who start membership sites and earn a lot of money. Maybe you're a bit skeptical, and rightly so. We all know better than believing everything we read on the Internet. But here's the real question: should YOU start a membership site? Could you really expect to earn money? And that is a difficult question to answer. If you search for it on Google, you will find many ways to make a membership site work, but nothing about how to find out if a membership site will work for you. What if your niche is the exception, and you invest days and dollars in setting up one and your belly? And what's more, and this is a little embarrassing, you're not even sure what exactly a membership site is. I get it. In fact, I felt like a damn fool a while ago when I was curious about the same thing. I bet we're not the only ones too. Therefore, I will clarify everything for you. Let's start from the beginning ...
What is a membership site?
Today we will define a membership site as part of your online business that contains closed content (information behind the start of the session). A door is simply a barrier to limit access to its content to those who pay or who you choose to let in. And once inside, they gain access to exclusive content and membership privileges.
It is the same idea as a gym membership, except on the Internet. That would be the only difference in this case.
Now that we have clarified that, let's see why a membership site is a great idea.
3 reasons why you should build a membership site
In a nutshell, membership sites are a great way to monetize your blog today.
Reason # 1. Influence
Membership sites that allow you to take advantage of your time and content in two ways:
Its content is a reusable asset. You can create it once and sell it to thousands of students over the next few years.
Membership sites can be fully automated. How dreary is the idea of having a non-intervention campaign that invites people to buy their membership program while you drink a beer on the beach somewhere?
Reason # 2. Value
Strangely, people value things for which they pay much more than they value a free gift.
In my opinion, the content of your paid membership site is more valuable than the free information.
What's more, once the cash is exchanged, you are more likely to take action and get results that make you get favorable reviews (which equates to more sales and more money).
There’s also an interesting money-credibility thing going on in cyberspace.
I’m sure you’ve noticed how easy it is for any old Joe to jump on Facebook live and create online content nowadays. It’s led to a rather strange online phenomenon, I call the ‘credibility gap’. Meaning, even though content volume is going up, trust in most free online content is going down.
So, why not play this to your advantage?
How?
I’ll explain. People attribute a higher level of credibility and trust to paid content, right?
Which means they’ll attribute higher value to any content locked behind the gates of your membership site. What’s more, existing members are more likely to upsell from within your membership site. Once they trust you, they’ll trust all your content.
And finally, let’s flip to your prospect’s perspective.
By packaging everything they need and presenting it with a bow and a roadmap, you’re making it easy for them. You’re also saving them tons of time.
No longer do they need to cartwheel about the internet piecing things together. You’ve given them one simple place to access everything they need and they’ll pay you for that simplicity.
Reason #3. Tribe
People love being surrounded by a tribe of people just like them, united by common interest, with similar problems and worries to chat about.
