What Bonus to give for my new website??

[geraldlum]

Hi guys,

I'm in the middle of creating my advertising website. I'm planning to include some bonuses for the membership. I need suggestion on what are the most suitable bonuses I can include in my membership?

My website audiences are targeting on general Internet Marketing.

Currently I'm planning to get 1 mini site and 1 review site design as bonus. Its rebrandable so you can use as your website.

Is there any more suitable stuffs that I can include so it can benefit my members in term of Internet Marketing needs?

You can include some bonuses on social web marketing and its importance etc if you are targeting businesses that are interested in utilizing IM for their businesses.

Also you can include some stuff on SEO, email marketing and video marketing etc. You can use PLR stuff on these topics as your bonuses.

It may not be exactly what you're looking for, but I just started a thread the other day on how a lot of people use bonuses incorrectly, and it may give you some advice you can use when selecting bonuses, but more importantly - how to craft them into your offer so they do what they're supposed to.

I agree with post #1. I think most people just give out PLR stuff.

Just because it's what most people do doesn't mean it's the best thing to do. If you're considering the bonus(es) as an afterthought to the offer, you're already doing it wrong.

A GOOD bonus will actually be based around taking one of the primary benefits or even a side-effect of the main product, and either accentuating it, or amplifying its effectiveness.

The idea that ill-selected bonuses will make people buy just because they're there - and even the idea that you should include them because you just need to... both are misconceptions.

A bonus will not ever get someone to buy that didn't want to already. Bonuses exist to convince people who are at "maybe" or "yes, but later" to change to "yes, right now".

Otherwise, all you have is just a bundle of a few loosely related products, just like those stupid 2packs of DVDs they sell where one movie is good, but they bundle it with a crappy movie you wouldn't otherwise even want.

Consider a good bonus as being something like selling a power drill that also comes with a socket and screwdriver attachement. It extends the usefulness of a product that was already desireable.

Anyway, hope that helps.

A cool Jaguar or a nice Rolex would be fine but personally I'd give them free money making tips like Stephen P. always gives out.

Great idea! I shall get PLR articles on those to sweeten up the membership package.

I have visited your thread. The bonus should not be the only reason people signing for my membership. My membership plan should be the only reason people are signing up. You have made good points!
