What is a Paid Membership Site and Why Do I Need One?

Many web site owners do not understand the importance of having a paid membership site. It is certainly easy to understand the reluctance to charge for content, given the history of the Internet itself. Back in the glory days of the Internet of course, the era that is now known as the dot.com bubble, the focus was entirely on drawing eyeballs to web sites and keeping them there.

The focus was on “stickiness”, and web based companies were willing to give away premium content, and even products, just to draw those all important visitors to their site. Internet companies like Pets.com and others routinely ran free promotions, and shipped their products for less than they cost.

Looking back now, with the advantage of hindsight, it is easy to see just how unsustainable this approach was, but at the time it seemed to make some kind of sense.

Of course the collapse of the dot.com bubble brought these free products to an abrupt end, and many consumers who had grown accustomed to getting something for nothing had to get used to once again paying for the value they received.

Every Internet entrepreneur eventually comes to understand that in order to make real money on the Internet, you must have your own products to sell. One of the beauties of the web is that the product for sale is often information. Information products are very popular, and it is possible set up a successful paid membership site giving other people the business opportunity to sell such products.

One approach many new internet users to make money with information products like ebooks is to repackage public domain information into ebooks and sell them through your web site, on online auctions, or other places.

While this approach can bring in some money, there is a better way. The key to success on the Internet, or anywhere else for that matter, is to step back, look at the big picture and stay ahead of the competition.

Taking a step back has helped successful Internet entrepreneurs understand that having your own paid membership site, on which you can offer others business opportunities to sell valuable information products. By taking this approach, you can easily increase your income exponentially.

The key advantage to having a paid membership web site is that of recurring income. Instead of merely relying on the often paltry income brought in from advertising revenue and affiliate programs, you will enjoy repeat income month after month from your paid members. By delivering your members the ready to sell products they crave, you will become their one source and your income can grow month after month.
