Ridiculous.

That is awesome. I can't wait to get my first membership site up and running. Recurring income is great stuff.

Great job man! I'm planning on starting a list ASAP as soon as I get my product and such straightened out more (having content to offer for free, etc.). If you have any tips or anything that would be much appreciated!

Sorry josh, no wso for this. I do not have a membership site, nor do i have anything associated with the site in the video. I am also nowhere near that level of putting out information of my own.

Also im not trying to give out false hope by saying that a membership model is the way to go. Or that by creating one, you will have this kind of success.

I just didnt think it was possible. I didnt think you could achieve those numbers with a membership site. This just really amazed me. I figured if i felt that way about a membership site then maybe others would feel the same way.

Now i honestly cant say if the guy in the video is still making that kind of money or if he even has 2 million active members. But simple math will tell you that 2,000,000 members at $40/month is $80 mill a month. Is is still like that now??? do all 2 million members pay?? is it net or gross?? who knows. I cant confirm or deny any of that information, but if your putting out that kind of info on Tv. Then maybe its true.

Maybe thats why im still unsuccessful in IM. Those numbers just seem unrealistic to me. I know its just more zero's as others would say. But when your barely making $80 dollars a month, $80 million a month just seems like something you would only see on the silver screen. Or on TV...

I'm successful in IM and those numbers still seem unrealistic. Unless you have a major corporation with hundreds (maybe thousands) of employees, $80 million a month is something you would only see on the silver screen.

There will always be someone who makes more than you. Focus on what you have to do to live the lifestyle you want and don't judge your success versus others.

I think Josh was referring to the person who chimed in and said, "Hi, great post", not you.

Thanks for the link to this show. I'd never heard of it before. More proof that sex (and the dating that leads to it) sells.

When I read "dating site," I immediately assumed it was plentyoffish.com. The guy who runs that site posted on a forum a few years back detailing how got the site started and he claims he's making quite good money. His only income source is (or was at the time) Adsense. The site attracts so many people because it's free to sign up and contact members, and there are free forums, as well. A lot of people join just to ask relationship questions on the forums. You've got to think, though, with what the dating affiliate programs pay, they must be making some decent money.

Yeah ive read plenty about the plentyoffish guy. He is pulling in 10 mill a year from that site just from advertisements. that is awesome.

But this dude is pulling in 80mill a month. I still cant get my mind around it.

This key to this is the niche and the demographic he is marketing too. Sugar daddies aka millionaires dont care about a measly $40/month.

So instead of chasing young model types they can find them on the site. he helped unite to groups of people who wouldnt mind paying that kind of money.

How many other membership sites can be used targeting big money individuals in a certain niche??

I think the show is great! A new refreshing idea on the subject of entrepreneurship from the ground up. This is literally a spin on Robin Leaches Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous as well as Donnie Deutchs "Big Idea" (off air right now).

I also like how TV Land.com has utilized the internet. The video streaming on a DSL connection is unbelievable. It is as clear as a HDTV!!

The only bad thing I DON"T like about the show, is I don't think it's in the right time slot & it the re-runs do come on often enough. These are inspirational times. They need to either put it on a main stream channel like NBC or put the time slot at 9pm and at 11pm and 1am. Man, I wish I was in t.v.! The other bad thing is that the site needs to utilize more social networking aspects to communicate directly with Joan Rivers. The last thing is, that although Joan Rivers is funny, I think the show would take off with a younger female protege along side of her. I mean, women entrepreneurs is growing heavily & as always, sex sells

Oh, by the way, the Sugar Daddy site, DOES NOT make $80 million per month.
You guys are stating false information. The site has presumably has 2 million members, and the site charges $40/month. That's the current accuracy that is verifiable. You all should no better than that.....$80 million per month - -c'mon now, get serious. None of you actually even seen the actual site have you???

I've seen the site.

The site may have had a TOTAL of 2 million subscribers, or maybe even 2 million monthly subscriptions sold. That would put the TOTAL earnings at $80 million. Not $80 million per month

I highly doubt that 2 million subscriptions were sold either.
Given the fact that you can sign up for free.

To some of the more successful warriors:

Is this far fetched or do you think it is still possible to achieve this kind of success with a membership site or any other kind of site?

of course im not referring to building the new facebook or myspace but is it possible to do something like this with a non commercial kind of feel?

80 mill sounds a bit over the top. Can you verify that. But great concept.
One of the most respected marketers Rosalind Gardener is pulling in a
nice profit with her dating review site.

Maybe someone should start a sugarmommy dating site?

80 million a month or 80 million total doesnt matter. it is more than most of us will achieve in our lifetime combined and gives us something to aim for. what can be learned from this experience is that no matter how silly the idea if you narrow down the right target audience with a product that has demand and virtually no competition then the opportunities are endless.
