Best Membership Course Ever!

29 replies
Hi guys!

I have being planning to create my membership website for a long time and now I think is time to start. Before I start to build the website I would like to learn everything in relation to membership websites.

I would like to know which membership video course is the best to buy and learn from it. I do not mind paying a good amount of money for a video course as long as the course delivers a good content. I mean gives a strong blueprint.

I have just watched 30 Days To 10K by Ryan Deiss. In my opinion is quite good but it was made in 2006.

Any suggestion for a good membership video training?


Thank you very much to all

      I have bought memberspring as I thought it was a way to get into memberships sites and see if it was for me. The thing is riddled with problems. Typos and grammar mistakes throughout the posts and emails. Settings that were supposed to be preset just not done. You click on an about me tag and it takes you to a page that says sorry the information you are looking for is unavailable. Sure you can fix this yourself, but, it was supposed to have been done for you. Half finished product.

        Ha! Not to get into a fight or anything, but I TOO bought Gary-The-Ace's 5 MemberSpring sites (and yes they are ALL identical), and I am ALSO on the 2-more[duplicate sites]-each-30-days deal.

        So here's my response...


        COMPETITION ANNIHILATION

        Let's face it, nobody [a little louder] NOBODY wants competition, especially competition from seasoned veterans on the WF. That's a FACT! So what can we do...


        Let's Keep Others From Buying, After All Gary's Rich And Doesn't Need The Money!!

        1. The product is TOO HARD to set up [let's scare all the non-technical]. -- NOT TRUE

        2. If you think the SALES VIDEO is long (something you 'can' see) -- you should see the 5 hours of SETUP VIDEOS (something you 'cannot' see) [we've got 'em running now!]. -- NOT TRUE

        3. The product content was written by some foreigner that doesn't have a command of proper English; in addition: grammatical errors, punctuation, etc., abound! -- NOT TRUE

        4. When I click somewhere I get taken somewhere else... sure I can fix this (because I'm a technical genius [but you aren't]) -- this product is half-baked and should have never been released. -- NOT TRUE


        People, seriously, let's come back down to Earth! Yes, Gary did co-create and is promoting the MemberSpring product. Yes, Gary may or may not have money, but he states that he makes 6 figures (what grounds do I have to not believe him?). But, the one thing I am sure of is, that Gary is a real, honest person.

        I can't believe the things that I have read on this forum about Gary and MemberSpring.


        If you want to purchase MemberSpring or are on the fence, yes MemberSpring is a good membership system. If you don't like competition, then DON'T use the 5 sites that he provides but rather use them as a MODEL, so that you can build your OWN MEMBERSHIP SITES.

        [If you use the 5 sites provided you will find that out of the top 4 listed sites -- 2 of them are identical to YOUR sites (provided by Gary[MemberSpring]) -- so you will have to find a different way to market other than what Gary has recommended... I, too, have used this form of traffic generation in the past, but everyone who purchases MemberSpring is now generating traffic this way because it is what Gary has recommended (quick saturation).]


        I found that the bonus videos and the software to make my own sites is alone worth the $297... add to this Underground Traffic Blueprints, The WarRoom, etc., and you're set!


        Let's give Gary a long deserved rest for a while -- you all act like you don't know what a 30-day 100% money back guarantee IS. Nobody, but nobody gets ahead by trashing, thrashing, and mistreating people in this world.

        A little kindness goes a long, long way.

    I'm not going to suggest you a course, I'm going to suggest you a guy: Ryan Lee. He is the best person you can learn from when it comes to membership sites.

    I'm also working on a membership site now and I can't recommend enough his inner circle. You can learn a lot about building membership sites there. Ryan is a trully master on this subject

      I purchased MemberSpring and if you think Gary Ambrose is long winded in his sales video, wait until you get inside.

      There is no forum and the knowledgebase is very thin. It takes a day or so to get an email back from him as he is a one man show.

      I like the sites, but after the 72 days the site is out of articles/emails to members so you are on your own to keep it going.

      Last, I have tried to get through the videos on list building and after 5 hours I still did not have my answers to building lists for the 5 sites I purchased. We are suppose to have access to 300,000 email base and I can't find anything anywhere that give that to me.

      So, here I am waiting to hear back .. my support ticket was opened on his end, but I have not received answer to this question.

      It is turnkey to create, but not turnkey to support after 2 1/2 months when you have to figure out how to keep 5 plus (4 more if you buy into the 2 additional ones each month for two momth) up and running for current clients ... putting articles into Aweber .. etc. If they fall off .. then you are trying keep marketing to new names .. either way ... it is a lot of work.

        I'm not sure how being long-winded would jive with what you call a "thin knowledgebase" and no forum ... but, you're right on there being no forum. We have a support team in place including myself, and the lead developer of the product ...

        And, the knowledge base is thin because it's based on questions we've actually gotten, and believe it or not, we actually made this pretty easy to do ... thus, not too many questions.

        I'm not sure how you measure the effectiveness of a knowledge base, but for me, it starts with the product itself ... if a large knowledgebase is required, then you probably didn't do a very good job when you created the product itself.

        My dream on every product is to have no support, and no knowledgebase what-so-ever... that'd mean that everything is self-explanatory, clearly spelled out, and incredibly easy to use.

        That's probably not realistic, but I'm not shooting for a large knowledgebase ...

        Large Knowledgebase = Poorly Designed & Poorly Executed Product

        You obviously haven't been through all the training videos yet as this has been covered, at length ... and no, I'm not going to cover it here.

        This is a part of the training you paid for, not something for public consumption...

        That's because you're making this part up ... you're not supposed to get access to a list of 300,000 people, it was never promised, and honestly, I'm not even sure where you'd get that impression.

        And, the "Quality Lists" course was a bonus ... and as stated on the page where you got the files, you should only listen AFTER you're through all the MemberSpring videos because it's a bonus, not a core part of MemberSpring itself.

        This was also covered in the sales video, that you don't need any of the bonuses ... but, I'm providing them because I assume that, at some point, you'll want to expand your business, and continue learning new techniques and strategies.

        I see that it's been a whole 9 hours since you submitted your support ticket ... I didn't realize that 9 hours was an obscene amount of time to wait for a response from someone you know is a small operation.

        As I said up top, I personally handle support, as does my lead developer ... we may not be as fast as some of the guys with 20 man support teams in place, but I'd like to think the personal attention from me, the actual guy behind the thing, makes up for it at least a little ...

        Again, covered at length in the course ...

        I'm not going to be doing any more "support" for the MemberSpring course here on the forum, as this isn't the place ... you obviously know where the support desk is, and have used it to submit a ticket already.

        Also, I find it very odd that there are two posts from you here on the forum, both the same wording, both on threads pertaining to membership sites ... did you really just come here, and create a new account... just to post this?

        Note to the Mods: do whatever you'd like with his post, and mine ... I don't know if this fits with the thread, or whether you'd consider it "off topic".

        Thanks,

    I'd recommend Simple Six Figures by Paul Evans. I've used it myself and would say it's a simple membership site model.

    And there's some other factors involved that help with member retention and monthly maintenance. Overall, easy to do and maintain, and can definitely be profitable.

    Hope that helps. I didn't link you to it so as not to appear spammy or anything. I'm sure if you Google it you can find it though.

      I've run membership programs for several years now on different platforms and the biggest advice I can give is to NOT get bogged down with the platform but to go directly to finding a problem and desire in a market and begin to know what that market wants.

      My membership sites have come directly out of launching successful ebooks where I get my customers asking for follow up information, new techniques, and more personal assistance.

      I remember a video by Frank Kern where he was beating himself up about which membership script or software to go with until someone set him straight - that it was not about the platform - it is about the target market and information and it really doesn't matter the platform so long as it doesn't get in your way.


      I completely agree - I've sold membership content that I delivery on a cadillac Membergate CMS, a Wodpress plugin and simply by weekly autoresponder emails - it really doesn't make any difference.

    Sirtom, can you shed a little more light for us on the Simple Six Figures?

    For example, does it require users to build their sites on a proprietary platform (i.e., on hosting provided by Paul Evans)? And is it a limit term membership, in that after a year, you're done? Or must members pay again after a certain term?

    I have an autoresponder service (other than Aweber, which he mentions) and I know there is no "standard" way to explain how to use an autoresponder because the services differ. But how indepth does the training go into the details of setting up an autoresponder?

    Any additional details you care to share, from your experience, will be gratefully appreciated.

    Thank you,


    Ina

    This is how easy the WP Blog MemberSpring Drip system is to set up...

    1. Buy a domain name(free with HG or BH hosting purchase) and create 5 subdomains, or purchase 5 domain names (I recommend NameCheap[free privacy/SSL]). You will need to point your domains to the HG or BH nameservers.
    2. Purchase hosting, HostGator(recommended by Gary) or Bluehost(recommended by Me [Google "Bluehost 3.95" without the quotes]) and create your subdomains, or add your domains as Addons.
    3. Create all 5 of your WP Membership Blogs using Fantastico or Simple Scripts.
    4. Upload the MemberSpring WP Plugin to each (all 5) and then use the newly installed MemberSpring plugin to upload each MS Site separately.
    5. Use the provided code to load AWeber or GetResponse with 7-day free training/drip.
    6. Take the codes from your AR(in step 2) and Paypal and put them into your MS Sites.
    7. Make a few more changes to personalize your sites.
    8. Test everything by signing up and making a purchase <= always recommended.
    9. Drive Traffic!

    This in essence is what the 5 in-depth setup videos cover...


    These are the videos that are provided: 1. Offsite setup(optional) 2. Payment settings 3. AR settings 4. AR followup 5. Personalization


    CONCLUSION

    Hands-on experience coupled with good content, bonuses that give you an insight into a 6-figure entrepreneur's mind, and the software, support, and guidance to move forward... be your own boss!!

    That's why I consider MemberSpring to be "The Best Membership Course".
