know, but whose entrepreneurial owners have pocketed a substantial sum in increased income and proceeds from sales. (50% year over year client

Introduction

Ideas that promote a business idea or service lends to the real success

of internet income, both passive and active. When people are scouring

the internet in an effort to find a business idea that is both profitable

and productive, they are searching for a business that will offer them

great flexibility.

They want to find something that ideally will be easy to manage, in

high demand by consumers, has the ability to bring in large amounts

of interested traffickers and has the potential to make a nice little

healthy side income.

One such highly profitable idea that lends itself very well to online

business success is the use of membership sites. Since the ever-

increasing popularity of the internet and the effect that it has had on

consumers, online entrepreneurs are constantly searching for ways

that they can significantly maximize and capitalize on the internet’s

popularity and experience some of the same successes.

Taking into account the flexibility that internet-based businesses offer,

traffic to your paid membership site can be fairly easy to find with the

right marketing, the right tools and access to high traffic areas where

people are looking for lucrative business ideas.

10 Profitable Membership Ideas

Work-at-home scams are not without a shortage on the internet and

there are more and more sites being uploaded daily in an effort to

scam the next would-be entrepreneur. Quality sites have been

compromised and there is a challenge in finding online traffic for your

products or services. Because online societies are in abundance,

people are less likely to trust everything that they read online,

especially when those things are not validated by an expert or a

professional, or where they are less likely to receive something of

value.

This is what can make paid membership sites so inviting. Customers

want exclusivity and something that perhaps cannot be found just

anywhere and in any setting. Customers also want freshness and

change with their information and to be able to keep up-to-date with

trends and variables in their area(s) of interest. This is also why paid

membership sites are such a good business idea.

Paid membership sites can be very easy to get started and very easy

to manage. The key to making the paid membership site successful is

to provide constantly changing, but fresh information for the readers

to enjoy.

Providing this constant stream of fresh information is relatively easy if

you are passionate about your topic. This will show through to the

readers and they will be more inclined to follow your updates and

make your site the “go-to” place for information. They will often

convey this same enthusiasm and encourage their friends to also

become a member of your paid membership site.

10 Profitable Membership Ideas

- 7 -

In addition to you having passion about your topic and be able to

convey that to your readers, there must also be a large demand for

information about the topic. If there is not enough demand or interest

in your topic, there will be even less interest or inclination for your

readers to want to pay for the information on your site, no matter how

well it is presented or how well it is prepared.

The best way to determine how popular your site will be or how “in-

demand” the information that you provide will be is to visit other,

competitive sites and blogs to see what the readers are looking for.

So what types of ideas are popular as paid membership sites? What

will customers pay for month-after-month to have brought to them?

Let’s take a look…

1. Freelance Jobs

Paid membership sites for freelance jobs have an unlimited income

potential because of the type of information that they provide and for

the audience that they are provided for. If they are marketed

effectively, they can be a massive income producer for any online

entrepreneur. Freelance job sites are in abundance all across the

internet, but if you look closely, they are free and often have either

outdated or recycled information that is in forums located all over the

internet. Paid membership sites for freelance jobs can host

opportunities for telecommute jobs in addition to online job fairs,

employer site reviews and can also have salary information for jobs in

states, regions and by categories.

10 Profitable Membership Ideas

- 8 -

A paid membership site for freelance jobs can target a variety of niche

people. For example, it can include:

1.) People who have been displaced by their previous employers

2.) People who are looking to re-enter the workforce after having been

absent for a substantial period of time

3.) College graduates who are looking for their first “real job”

4.) Employers who are seeking qualified candidates for their

organizations.

These are some examples of the type of traffic that a paid membership

site for freelance jobs can expect to get. This doesn’t mean that there

won’t be other niche groups who won’t be targeted for the site, but

rather it will be those types of groups who will frequent the

membership site.

To stoke interest in members paying to be a part of this type of site

idea is to provide tight, evergreen information for the members so that

they can immediately see the value in paying to be a part of your site.

Charging fees to the members to access your site will also allow you to

provide a more substantive quality of information to them and to be

able to offer exclusive, not-seen-before information.

2. Professional Speaking

Professional speaking is a niche industry that is in high demand and is

highly competitive in certain topic areas. As a paid membership site,

professional speakers can enjoy the opportunity to find leads, connect

10 Profitable Membership Ideas

- 9 -

with other professional or aspiring speakers and find other available

opportunities.

A paid site in professional speaking would include offering the readers

real, solid leads that have been worked out with the host organization.

The lead may perhaps only require a demo tape to hire the speaker, or

any other pertinent information that they would need to make the

offer.

The site would target professionals from other marketing forums or

professional speaking organizations such as Toastmasters, the National

Speaking Association and others. These organizations have huge

membership bases and ready speakers who are looking for leads all of

the time.

3. Marketing

Marketers know the internet very well and are able to maneuver

themselves around it seamlessly. Or at least they should. Online

marketers aren’t all the same and do not market the same, neither do

they get the same results. Although there are many qualified

marketers online, the challenge may be in finding marketing tactics

that work and finding ways to convert those marketing efforts into

sales. Therefore, the need for a paid membership site is ideal for those

marketers who are looking to increase their bottom lines but simply

don’t know how. Providing information that cannot be readily found

elsewhere is what makes the idea of a paid site so attractive.

10 Profitable Membership Ideas

- 10 -

Since marketers exist everywhere and in most every type of niche

topic, the challenge here is going to include offering them something

that cannot be found most anywhere online. You can include not only

tips but personal interviews with powerful online marketers, inside

information on marketing tips from successful companies and even a Q

& A section of the site where marketers can ask questions that are

specifically for their area(s) of expertise.

4. Personal Training

Exercise and healthy living comes in waves. People search heavily for

information on this topic at certain times of the year, in certain

seasons and in certain life stages. Without a doubt, it is one of the

most popular and sought-after information on the internet today. What

people want is reliable, consistent information that comes from a field

expert or someone who knows the market very, very well. As a

membership site, you can provide this information to the readers in

the forms of interviews, case studies, new trends and developments

and in many cases, hands-on experience.

As a paid site on personal training, you can gather critical information

from each of your paying customers and develop a personal routine

that is specialized for their bodies, lifestyles and preferences.

5. Life Coaching

Everybody at some point or another needs motivating, encouraging

and help. A membership site on life coaching can serve for more than

just a cheerleading site. A life coaching site can offer real, applicable

10 Profitable Membership Ideas

- 11 -

tips on life and business management, assessing career paths and

information on how to develop your life’s goals. Aside from reading a

book, potential members should be sold on how these services can

make them specifically successful. This can be sold in the form of

tailored services for their own needs and requirements.

The paid site can include online conferences and seminars where the

host could provide an online presentation from experts in the field. As

a part of this idea too, the site can also provide a pre-recorded Q & A

session where the speaker could answer questions sent in by the

members. This would increase traffic because the audience will look

forward to having their questions answered live (if they so choose) and

the other audience members can benefit from it as well.

6. Budgeting/Frugal Living

Economic conditions are ideal for a paid membership site on budgeting

and frugal living. Although many will balk at the idea of paying to

save, if you market this idea effectively, you can present valuable

information on your site that people will not mind at all paying for. The

site can for instance:

1.) Give readers online resources where they can get deep, deep

savings for their purchases. Work out deals with the online retailers to

provide these savings to your readers if you bring business to their

site.

2.) Give interviews that are from seasoned, experienced people in the

financial industry who can offer sound, practical advice for your

10 Profitable Membership Ideas

- 12 -

readers. Don’t give them just fluff or stuff that can be found anywhere.

Be sure that the information you share is timely and doable.

To make the paid membership portion of the site more enticing, you

can offer applicable information on topics that will get immediate

results. This will include debt reduction, saving for college, money-

making ideas and dollar stretching.

7. Dating/Relationship Sites

Dating sites as paid membership sites can be a very lucrative idea for

those members who are looking for healthy and serious relationships

online. Since there are so many different types of relationship sites

online, niche dating sites can serve specialized groups or require strict

membership requirements to ensure their value and protect their

reputations.

Readers who are interested in dating and relationship sites are

particularly serious in pursing healthy relationships online without the

(probable) bad social elements that follow these sites. Nothing is

guaranteed but there is less likely a chance that there would be an

instance of this if there are certain guidelines and offers in place. For

instance:

1.) You can offer information on relationship building and how to find

the right mate.

2.) Offer interviews from relationship specialists who will give advice

on what members should look for in a relationship and what types of

personalities they should stay away from.

10 Profitable Membership Ideas

- 13 -

3.) Provide personality-matching tests that can be scored and

reviewed by field experts and offer these to your members.

8. Travel

Travel is a niche topic that is not readily explored as much on the

internet as it is in the offline print world. Travel sites for paid

membership could include places that are popular to visit and

vacation. The site can also offer deep discounts for travel and lodging

and information on little-known travel sites that are of interest to the

members.

To make this paid membership site enticing, a travel site can give

videos blog entries of particular vacations spots, cruise ships sites and

courses and any concentration on regions or areas (nationally or

internationally) that interest the readers. Video blog entries will be a

special highlight because they will show members more detailed

information. Imagine the member being impressed over the vlog on

the little tucked-away Italian bistro, or about just how huge the Statue

of Liberty really is. If you provide good content for the members, they

will not mind paying for access to your site.

9. Medical Advice

Online medical forums are a very popular place for people to hang out.

Stay-at-home parents, medical students and health-challenged

individuals are all optimal traffic for these types of sites. The key to

making this type of site attractive is to offer a specialized niche in a

topic area. For instance, you may choose to concentrate on pediatrics

10 Profitable Membership Ideas

- 14 -

and decide to market to parenting forums and online chat rooms for

parents. There is also the niche market for internal medical issues as

well as concentrations on certain medical conditions. There will likely

be more success if there is a niche concentration on a particular issue

rather than simply trying to cover the whole idea of a medical forum in

general. However, if you do decide to be general, it would be wise to

stick to those things that can stay general without becoming too

specific like lung-related issues or genetic disorders. The only danger

in this idea is that it can be too broad and miss the niche market that

it could serve.

10. Book Writers/Authors

Book writers and authors can do extremely well as a paid membership

site. The networking that can come as a site benefit does not include

the leads and possible contracts for book writing connections that they

also offer. The site can offer advice, interviews and tips on:

1.) How to write a book in 90 days

2.) Book-signing agents

3.) Funding for new authors

You can also offer interviews from experienced book writers. Another

idea would be to develop an online plan for the readers to follow if

they are interested in writing a book in their niche area(s).

Book writing sites should offer solid, valuable information for

interested readers because of the scam notion involved with them.

Ensure readers that your site is valuable by giving them information

that is not readily found anywhere else.

Whatever kind of site you decide to offer as a paid membership place

be sure to provide good information for your readers. Ideally, they will

share this with others and your site will grow in attendance and in

membership.
