SHOULD YOU MAKE YOUR MEMBERSHIP SITE FREE OR PAID?
The first thing you need to decide is if you will set up a free membership site or a paid membership site. There are some good points for each.
Benefits of a Free Membership Site
• Can help you build a list
• Entice people into the full membership
• To protect your sensitive content
• Build a sense of community among members
Benefits of a paid membership site
• Make more money internet marketing
• Develop a loyal customer base
• Have a steady stream of passive income
• Build a sense of community among members
Those lists are by no means complete. However, it is a good list to help you decide if you want to take their money or not. Keep in mind that one membership site can have a free and a paid version. The free version can help you build your list and also be used as a teaser to get people into the full membership.
My membership site Internet Success University is both. You can get in, and see a few things, which helps me to build a list, and be able to continue to communicate the benefits to them about why they would join.
The other thing you can do is if they don’t join after a while, offer a trial membership for $1 – and get them to see what it’s like. If your site is good, they’ll stay.
