hey everyone well i better make a proper introduction, my name is etai, im from Israel and seriously in need of your help guys.

i plan to lunch a membership website and im looking for the best ways to implement the following flowchart:

sales page ==> payment page (after charging, sending username and password to the customer) ==> membership website: will include a few content pages and a forum section

i loved what the google sniper product owner did in his website, the only thing missing to my taste is a forum, someone knows a way to make something similar to it but with a forum?


and a few more questions:
1. im no copywriter so i will need to outsource the sales page writing, what is the best way to approuch this? what to look for? where to look? what are the standard costs for such a gig assuming we're talking about a quality work?

2. i need a membership platform in which i can manage users, create mailing a list, have a forum (which is most important), and create secure content pages within the website.

3. payment page - what are the best networks to sign up the product in? aside from clickbank..


thank you all for devoting the time to answer..
really appreciate it

    Hey Etal,

    Are you building the site yourself from scratch (programming)? Or are you building it using a ready made platform such as Joomla, Adobe Business Catalyst...etc?

    If you're looking for a good copy writer, I would suggest you signing up for an Odesk account. This is a great place to hire SEO copy writers!

    Hey Halo!

    I see more and more people are heading into the membership portal idea. I wish you luck with your venture.

    Have you considered optimizepress? Although it may cost $97, it will save you a lot of development costs in the end. It sets up a really nice membership area. It also quickly builds your sales pages and launch funnels to help you pre sell your product.

    As for outsourcing your sales copy- try the "warriors for hire" section. I think this is a great spot for finding cheap copywriting services.

    well i dont care which kind of platform do i choose but in my head i envisioned it like this

    the sales page:
    George Brown's Google Sniper 2.0 - Official Site

    the members area:
    Please login

    as you can see the members area is some kind of a sub domain by its own, and not a side page on the site..

    the only thing missing in the website i have shown you is the forum aspect
    do you have any idea how i could make such a website and also attach a forum to it?

    Hi etai

    You want to make this website for yourself correct?
    Standard rule of making a website
    Define or design a flowchart
    Put it into paint or Photoshop
    Make corrections then make a psd file of the same
    (You need a designer for this + your ideas and dreams)
    Then design a flow chart for the coding part
    Since you require a lot of features I would suggest you to go for core PHP based website rather than some in built CMS websites like that of WP or Joomla, magento
    ( You need a developer for this)
    Once you are done with the website then you require someone to write contents for your pages
    (You need a writer for this)
    Prevailing rates in the market varies from $0.50 to $1 per 500 words, depending on the quality, TAT, experience and whether the writer is an individual or a company.
    Before you select your designer, developer or writer make sure to check his/her back ground (I mean check reviews and portfolio must)

    You can ask your developer to make a forum for you or use forum tools from different forum sites like vBulletin or more (search google please)
    To have a secure website (The site open in https rather than http) go to sites like GoDaddy or others (search google), well godaddy is the best and buy the SSL security from them
    As far as payment gateways are concerned
    • Pay Pal
    • Alert Pay
    • Cc Avenue

    There are so many
    I personally would refer PayPal for this.

    Hope this helps you to create the perfect website that you want to

    Cheers
    Wiljep
