Gamer membership site or eBook strategy guide?

13 replies
Need Help!

I am creating a gamers website for Madden 13. I am not sure if I should create it into a lifetime membership site or create an eBook strategy guide.

I was thinking of the membership site but not sure of what I can add to the site that is different from what people can get free on the internet already.

I would appreciate all advice. Thank you!

    An e-book will probably do better. There isn't anything proprietary that you can provide in order for people to convert on forums memberships.

    It's all about the money...

      I was thinking about a 50 to 100 page guide. What price range should I be looking to sell an eBook strategy guide?

      I was thinking around 17.95.

      Thank you for the response.

    Please buy a new domain name and don't use that one you posted. The last thing you want is a cease and desist letter while you are making a good amount of sales.

      Why would I receive a cease and desist letter? Is the domain name to similar to the product?

    I recommend that you make a eBook strategy guide, unless you make amazing looking membership website that is interactive. The website can be expensive if you don't know how to make it yourself but if it looks amazing it can be extremely profitable.

      I was simply going to use a free WordPress membership plugin.

      Any price suggestions on a 50-75 page eBook strategy guide?

    I would HIGHLY recommend you do some basic market research. What other strategy guides exist out there - for example, the very first result I get when doing a Google search sends me to this site selling a Madden Ebook strategy guide for $24.99 - Madden 13 Tips, Cheats and Strategy | Madden-School.com

    There are likely others...I would dig into these and find out what pricing range you are dealing with and ideally how you would differentiate your ebook strategy guide from the others.

    What i coach people to do. Is start off small...in this case write the ebook. Get it published to kindle or wherever you want to place it, you have options. I wrote a free case study on the warrior article section...how to write and publish an ebook in 4 days...it is on my blog here on the warrior forum...also in the article section..,

    But you never want to create anything...I mean anything...unless you can leverage that information. I wrote about it in my blog last night...leveraging your products

    You wrap your mind around that one post...and things change for you...

    The idea is this...that when you create something, it either leads someone to something else, or can be used in upsells or downsells of other products, in other words it can be used in a sales funnel of some sort.

    Example: I just got a email from a man who literally bought everything that I owned...I have around 100 prodcuts that I created...and he bought everything...so i took notice when that happened...he is now enrolled in my coaching program. So today i get an email from him, and he says "I found you through your ebook Article Marketing Strategy For 2013 located on amazon...

    That ebook leads to a coaching program that I have turning articles into products and membership sites...so he signs up and we are now creating products together...

    So in your quest of madden...which is awesome...why not do it this way...
    • "How to dominate in Defense Playing Madden"
    • How to Outscore Anyone while Playing Madden"
    • "How to Draft and get the players You Deserve in madden"

    Getting the picture...break it up into a series of shorter articles...say 10-20-30 pages long per series...then place those on kindle and let it soak...

    Then...take those same articles and begin building your membership site...

    Leveraging your content...

    This is the gig...you need to get your sales page correct, and your sales funnel, and as you write keep referencing this membership site you are going to create...not in future tense,,,but in the present...then when you have it created, go back and link to your site...so as people buy your stuff you bring them into your site...

    I would roll with the ebook strategy guide. A good price is around $19.
