What Do YOU Pay For Each Month? - Get Continuity Ideas

by Ron Douglas

Posted: 15 years ago 35 replies

INTERNET MARKETING

I thought this would be a good way to generate new ideas for membership sites and/or continuity income streams. No sense trying to re-invent the wheel - lets analyze what people really pay for each month.

Please share what you pay for monthly.

I'll start with a few things I keep paying for each month:

Aweber autoresponder service - couldn't run my business without it.
Dedicated Server - pricey but it costs more to have my sites go down
Reseller hosting account - Site5.com
Stock investment newsletter - SpearReport.com
Stock trading market data and charting service - TC2000.com
Fulfillment service - customers have to get their orders shipped
TrafficSage.com - I'm not only the president, I'm also a client

I have a few more interesting examples that I will share once others join the conversation.

Hopefully this can lead to some good ideas that people can use.

I keep paying for:

1. Monthly internet service
2. Yearly for domain and hosting service
3. Monthly for IM membership
4. The rest is I do it my self (install script, find the e-books, tutorials, videos about IM)

That's it...

Regards

Dedy

I didn't include the domains. Being a domainer, renewal fees comes out to be well above $10k per year. Acquisition costs are even more with expired domains making a big chunk of the costs.

  Another thing I pay for is membership dues each year to the CFA Institute for using the title Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA). The crazy part is, I'm no longer in the investment field but I have to keep paying them or I lose the right to that title after working hard for 3 years to get it. Their retention rate must be like 99%.
  
  What kind of prestigious membership can you create? The key is - the members must benefit in some way from being associated with your organization. If they must go through some type of challenging qualifications to be accepted, the membership will be viewed as being more valuable and they will keep paying.
  
  Could this be done in Internet Marketing? Take a look at the Direct Marketing Association www.the-dma.org.

  That's what I'm talking about. What other associations can we create? I don't know if these have been done but how about:
  
  - Affiliate Marketing Assoc
  - Search Engine Marketers Assoc
  - Social Media Marketing Assoc
  - Home Entrepreneur Assoc
  - Outsourcing Services Assoc
  
  People want to belong to something - especially if they can add it to their resume and benefit from a title.
  
  Thanks

  Hey Ron,
  I have 3 monthly recurring things I pay for.
  
  1-aweber-$20/month
  2-hostgator-9.95/month
  3-aol -$14.95/month - I use one aol email for business. And I use this email to sign up for many newsletters to see what other marketer's are up to.
  
  I'm not sure if I should include this but here goes:
  
  4-godaddy -I have 70 domains bought throughout the year so it seems every month I have to renew 1-3 domains so that is $10-30 monthly.
  
  Mike
