(3) Membership Marketing Profit Plans

Presumably, you have a membership website to make money or your thinking about starting a membership site to make money. Either way if you’re not taking advantage of these three profit plans, you’re missing out.

Profit Plan #1 Thriving Affiliate Programs Affiliate marketing is a great way to make ongoing extra income from your membership site with very little effort. It’s also important to note that your members do want to learn from you so you’ll want to balance affiliate promotions with your own products too. You won’t be an expert in every subject and so complimentary products are a great way to increase income; just make sure the products aren’t directly competing with what you have to offer.

Really make affiliate programs work for you:

1.Select affiliate programs that are relevant to your niche subject to retain the credibility of your site and entice your members into purchasing the products they need. Find affiliate products which are complimentary to your own, not competitive.

2.Pre sell the product to your members. This will make it much more likely that they will buy when they reach the merchant’s site. Write a personal review or interview the product owner.

3.Weave affiliate links into your content on your site. Simply writing product reviews or blogging about why you like the product from a personal standpoint is often enough for your members to trust your recommendation and want to buy from you.
