The ToolWiz Blog » Seven Steps To A Solid Monthly Internet Income

There are literally thousands of ways to make money online. One of the most solid business models to ensure a continual monthly income is a subscription based membership website. This article presents an interesting perspective on how to accomplish that.

In these situations, members pay a monthly fee for access to a private member’s area where they can access your information. You can provide a variety of information in as many formats as you choose. You can offer articles, reports, audios, videos, teleseminars, downloads, software, almost anything you can imagine.

Even if you offer a low cost membership, it only takes a few members to make a comfortable income. A membership website that charges $9.97 a month, only needs 300 members to generate $3,000 every month.

And setting up a membership website has become remarkably simple with advances in software that can be set up in a couple hours, even by the average non-technical person.

It’s just that simple. In the beginning, it takes some time and energy to put the whole project together, but then it’s simply a matter of updating, maintaining and marketing. So let’s look at the steps to put together a successful membership website.

Step 1

Choose a market. This is critical. You should look for a market you’re going to enjoy working in as well as a market people spend money in. People spend money where they are passionate. Markets like sports, pets, business, and hobbies all make hot markets to launch a membership website

Step 2

Test the market. Visit forums and chat rooms and ask people if they know of any good websites that offer up-to-date information.

Step 3

Use your research from Step 2 to develop a rough outline of what your website will offer your members

Step 4

Write a sales letter and have the graphics professionally designed. If you can’t do this yourself, hire a freelancer from elance.com or guru.com

Step 5

Set up the membership software to run the site.

Step 6

Populate the site with your content

Step 7

Market your site and let the cash flow begin.

Just follow these seven simple steps and you’ve got a membership website that will generate a solid monthly cash flow for you. Each step takes some effort and energy, but you can have your first membership website completely set up and running in less than a month. Then you can repeat the process as many times as you like to increase your membership portfolio and your monthly income.

Finally, if you’ve got a year’s worth of income and can demonstrate steady growth and a reasonably low fall-off rate, you can probably even sell your membership site business for 20-30 times the past six months average earnings.
