Membership Site Myths – Part 1

As with many businesses, owning a membership site can come with its own set of myths, half-truths, and sometimes, even outright lies.

All these misconceptions are harmful as they can lead to people building membership sites for the wrong reasons.

Or worse, those people may never start down the correct path at all because of “something they heard”, thus missing out on the potential revenue and/or a sense of community a membership provides.

Whether you’re a seasoned membership site owner, someone thinking about starting their own site or find yourself somewhere in between, there are common Membership Site Myths you need to know.

Promote Like A Pop Star – Part 1

Take It From A Pop Star On How To Market! Part One

The cameras! The Paparazzi everywhere I go!

A thriving community within your membership site results in a strong recurring income. Members sign up because of your content, but they stay because of community.

Thanks to what I learned from Linda Bernstein, Britt Michaelian, Amy Vernon, and Jessica Northey during this year’s New Media Expo, I can share some tips to help increase the size of your membership site, and enjoy the additional recurring payments.

Not to mention the other benefits that accompany a thriving community based site.

Do Membership Site Owners Have A Consumer Mentality?

You may be asking what I mean by that title.

Alright, first let’s look at what the word “consumer” really means.

Biology-Online defines the word consumer as; “An organism that generally obtains food by feeding on other organisms or organic matter due to lack of the ability to manufacture own food from inorganic sources.”

Okay, so the point being…?

Do we have a consumer mentality when it comes to our membership sites?

Do we “feed” off our members?

Or are we the ones who actually feed our members with valuable resources and information?
