    Membersnap is a service that hosts your sites for you, similar to Kajabi. The free version allows you to have one site or you can upgrade and run more sites on their platform.

    When creating your own website with their built in products on membersnap, can you get started on making money right away? What are the best ways to make money once you have a membership site?

      Membership sites are often based on a subscription type of revenue model - but membership site owners often make heaps more by promoting products to their member email list etc.
      Some are just one-off type of payments. And I supposed there might be some that are just basically pay as you go (for different modules etc etc).

    A membership site is a website focused on a specific subject which offers some kind of service only to members, not for visitors that are not subscribed as members. To be able to access the service one has to first sign up as a member and then, for every new visit, log into a password protected area on the Membership Site.

    There are paid Membership Sites and free ones. Most paid Membership Sites charge a monthly fee, some a one-time sign up fee.

    There is no limit to what the offered service can be as long as it has a value for the members and there is a recurring demand. That is, a member would have to use the service again and again.

    At present very popular Membership Sites are social networking sites like MySpace and social bookmarking sites like del.icio.us which provide a platform for all kinds of online contact to their free members.

    Examples for paid Membership Sites in the Internet marketing niche are memberships offering:
    • a continuously updated supply of PLR material,
    • support and all kinds of tools for affiliates ,
    • free or cheap articles on demand for members,
    • website templates ,
    • resources for eBay sellers,
    and many more.

    Creating a paid Membership Site can be one of the most lucrative ways for an Internet marketer to make money online. Quite a common monthly membership fees are around $30. Having 1000 members would give a regular and predictable $30.000 income per month as long as the members can be kept happy with the service.

    Very interesting, you see, i just signed up at membersnap and was able to create my own website. Well lemme first bring up the fact that I'm a complete newbie at the moment and would like to keep things as simple as possible. So i just went ahead and used one of their built in products for my website, i'll put the link at the end so you could see. Anyways, i don't know if i'm getting started correctly or not. I would appreciate any tips and suggestions.

    Yes - you are on the right track, however, the site(template) you have applied/used is not based on a membership website. It's more likely to be a product's sales page, and so you now then can create a product or find a PLR product to apply to that temaplate - and you are right to go!

    Slight problem, I don't know how to create a product. What's wrong with just using this current one alone? And where should i go from there after I have my products created? Am I going to need a list or anything?

    Should my number one goal be to get affiliates signed up to my site and having them promote my items for me? When I think about it, i can imagine money pouring in day in and day out this way.

    Of course you can use the product already listed on the template now - what you now have to do is to drive traffic to it!

    Either on doing SEO to rank high on google, or using PPC paid traffic to drive visitors to your sales page.

    I just took a look at membersnap. Looks nice for new marketers to get started with members sites. There is a useful headline graphics generator in there which I will use to save time rather than using PS.

    Other than that, I must say I still prefer to use Profits Theme or WPBuyNow on my own hosting and have control and ownership of the whole structure including the database.

    My goal is to make a membership site where members will have a monthly subscription where they'll get access to products that they can also help me promote for a commission. And all I do is sit there and watch money pour in. Is this something that'll work?

      Yes. Why not? It will take some work and you will need to get your strategy right in three main areas:

      Firstly, you will need some good reasons for people to join. Something unique. Also, members area often work well when promoted to buyers of a superb product. Price point will be crucial too.Bear this in mind.

      Then you will need a steady and high flow of targeted traffic to your sales page.

      Lastly, you will need to offer massive value for money - ongoing - to keep people involved and engaged. So 'just sitting there' will not be an option. You will need to be on top of the content funnel.

      I'll take the ticket and information you provided above and get it to the staff to make sure it's taken care of. It's probably already taken care of, but someone just sent me to this thread/post here.

      thanks for pointing me to this thread via email Todd or I would never have seen it.

      Thanks!

    MemberSnap is a unique membership program that offers members their own membership sites; not just once, but each and every month. Created by Internet marketer Eric Louviere, this program hands you the membership sites each month and then runs them for you. Your job is to promote each site to get members to them, and you get to keep all profits from each site.

    Hey Xdonald, I'd have to say that Johnny said it best: a membership site is basically a site where you need to register to join: members can either join for free or pay to join.

    Some sites, like here on the WF for example has a paid section where you can become a War Room member and gain access to other parts of the WF you wouldnt normally be able to use as a non paid member.
