Membership site myths
Are You Being Fooled by These Membership Site Myths?
My own experience having launched a membership site 2 months ago is that it is a LOT harder to get paying members that many people make it out to be.
I've got a long-standing blog, known in my field, and offer huge value in a specialized area, yet getting people to pay is very hard. I'm going to run a site that sells all the materials in my membership site on a one-off basis to compare results.
A lot of the membership hype is driven by people/affiliates wanting to sell you membership software.
I know there will be responses to this thread that say, "Hey, I've got 2 gazillion members paying me $100/month" (or whatever). Look, if you're not willing to post your popular membership site here so we can have a look, don't bother mentioning what a success you are at selling memberships, because talk is sooo cheap.
This post is meant for people considering membership sites - just take a realistic view before you leap. Sure they can work, but extracting money from people for a recurring payment is very tough no matter what you are offering. I'm thinking a one-off sale at a higher price with no commitment is an easier route.
