This is the final strategy in the series of 7 this last strategy is on Paid Memberships.
You might think this strategy is too advanced for where you are right now in your online marketing career, but I’d like to suggest that it isn’t.
To create a paid membership site, you need three things: Content, a system to run the membership site, and paying subscribers.
Can you either source or create content? Sourcing means you obtain it from somewhere other than yourself, such as interviewing other experts, using private label rights, and so forth.
Of course, you can. If you’re not a writer, you can get content from other places, so that obstacle isn’t an obstacle at all.
Can you set up a membership site? It’s far easier to do this than in the old days when you actually had to know something about software and whatnot. Now you can simply use a WordPress plugin such as MemberPress.
Which brings us to the last bit of the puzzle – getting new members. If you already have an email list, then you can start there along with getting affiliates. Fortunes have been made this way. Set up a sales page, drive traffic, and get new members.
But what if you don’t have a list, you don’t have any affiliate contacts (yet) and you don’t have money to drive traffic?
Here’s what I would do in that case: Assuming you’ve done your research and picked out a great niche that people are passionate about, start giving away ‘some’ free content. Just some. Newspaper sites do this all the time. They’ll let you read 5 free articles a month, but then to read more you need to subscribe.
Or you can give away the first portion of the content, and to get the rest and everything else inside of the membership, they have to subscribe.
And there you have it – 7 ways to start earning money online while you’re self-isolating at home.
