Membership Site Blueprints - 3 Profitable Blueprints For Your Site
By: Carlton Metier

Membership sites are a great way to profit by charging for content and knowledge on a regular basis. Depending on the market you are going after and your own goals, there are several common membership site blueprint models you can choose from. Here are three of the most popular.

Free Membership Sites

Everyone likes free, so membership sites that allow people to join without paying can build a large membership base quickly. It is important to build strong relationships with members in free websites by providing them with high-quality content that they are looking for. You can profit from a free membership site on the back-end by promoting related affiliate offers, integrating CPA advertising into your site or upselling members with paid options such as one on one coaching.


Paid Membership Sites

In this model, you are either charging a one-time upfront fee, or a recurring fee for people to be able to access the content in your site. If you are using a paid membership model, you'll need to make certain that you are offering extremely unique content or benefits that people would not be able to find easily elsewhere for free.

With sites that charge a recurring fee, it is also important that you are adding new content on a regular basis, or else your members will have no reason to stick around and keep paying.

Combination Membership Sites

Some membership site software now has the option to sign-up members for a basic membership for free, then instantly upsell them on a premium paid membership.

This can result in a high conversion rate of free sign-ups to paid sign-ups, since free members have already gone through the process of joining when the paid option offer hits them.

For this option to work most effectively though, you'll have to make certain that your free membership has plenty of value too. That way, those that join for free and don't go for the paid upgrade right away will remain good prospects for a future upsell.

Luckily, most of the popular [http://www.membershipacademy.com]membership site software titles can be used for any of the membership site blueprints above. You can research and compare the features of several of the top titles right now at http://MembershipAcademy.com
