I’m Starting a Membership Site

Membership sites

You’ve heard right, a business partner and I are starting a membership site. But don’t worry, it’s not in the make money online niche or anything like that, we’re working in a niche that is relatively low in competition.

So, why start a membership site? Benefits?

I heard these are probably the best types of sites to have simply because you have recurring monthly payments going right into your pockets. I mean, having advertisers buy ad spots monthly is nice but it’s never really guaranteed each and every month.

Say we get 100 members and we charge $20/month, that’s automatically $2,000/month in revenue we’ll be getting. And the best part of it all is the fact that it’s $2,000/month recurring.

In addition to getting members to sign up for a recurring cost, there are plenty more ways to earn money. You can simply sell them a product like a simple eBook or something because they are already interested in the niche you’re in.

And honestly, if they are willing to sign up as a member for a low cost, more than likely they are willing to spend a little bit more on a simple product that would benefit them.

What is the niche of this membership site?

I know a lot of you guys are going to ask but as of right now I’m not going to be revealing the URL or the niche. I know some of you guys won’t like it but quite frankly, this niche has such low competition and it’s not worth revealing.

But don’t worry; we’re starting this membership site to flip it. The only thing is we probably won’t flip it for at least a few months. And if they site continues to grow and we continue to increase our revenue, then we might delay the sale. :D

How do you start a membership site?

Honestly, it all depends on what niche you’re looking for it to be in but most of them are all the same setup. I don’t have too much time to go into full detail on setting up an entire membership site step-by-step right now so I will have to say that post for a later date.

I just wanted to let you guys know another one of my projects that I have been working on. Matter of fact, if this one goes according to plan, my business partner and I have like five or six more membership sites lined up right behind it.

And again, they are relatively low in competition. :D

Stay tuned!

    No offense, but I personally hate those membership type of sites…especially the ones that subscribe for you “automatically”. When someone doesn’t know about it, they end up being charged another $20.

    p.s. Anything you buy from bloggers is good for the seller and not for the buyer. That is my opinion.
