Let me know your experiences and what has worked best for you.

    I have done a free video series and a free written report.

    I don't do content drip, I think that might be more a feature rather than a benefit, nothing wrong with it, I just don't know if it is a selling point to get people to join.

    Both the video series and the report work equally well, so far. I do have an autoresponder series in place and automatic move from interest list to buyer list, and some additional emails set up on the interest list.

    But as far as getting people to sign up in the first place,both work equally well.

    It might sound obvious , maybe even stupid but you have to offer them what they want.You could offer me freedom for life to a gaming membership site but I couldn't care less about gaming so it wouldn't excite me at all.Whatever your price point of entry is there has to be a perceived value by them so how about setting up a free survey using survey monkey to see exactly what they want from the membership site and then set out to ensure you are offering that.

    Free or very low cost trials work for some people.

    If you believe in what you are offering and think your customers will like it, I think free trial is a great option.

    It's either a 'free membership' or a 'free course/training.' That's what work for us.
    Nonetheless, it still depends on what membership site you have, how does it benefit your target market/list, etc.

    Each course in the member ship must simply be AMAZING, as you will want to know what great information will be coming next. The first one is always free.

    The best way is to offer the famous $1 trial for 7-14 days. If I got that person for that one moment I don't want to give them a free report instead of a $1 buyer. That $1 buyer is worth 100 times more than the free report guy because now I have:

    -Ability to charge them
    -buyer list
    -all my affiliate promotion and open rates on emails are much more received

    That's why!

    Give access a way for free.

    Then create another membership site and email everyone that joined and tell them to buy to get access

    I own a PLR membership site. The best FREEBIE will be software programs. Grab some internet marketing software programs with giveaway rights for your freebies.

    I've been doing the free 5 day course thing offering awesome content but when I finally introduce my offer it's actually kind of hard to get them to sign up. So I'm suspecting my list is getting filled with people looking for free content. I'll have to try the $1 trial offer.
