Hi,

       Membeership sites have grown steadily in popularity on the internet in recent times and almost every Guru has a membership site. It seems to me that in fact nearly every product launch now has a membership part to it. It is of course not hard to see why. A membership site means that you get paid every month by the same subscriber. It is almost like a salary and in these uncertain time that it a very good thing.

Most people who are new to internet marketing do not tend to consider membership sites as the way to start their online business. I certainly would not have considered it myself. I think that one of the main reasons that people tend to avoid setting up a membership site, is because they feel that they may not be able to provide the new content to keep their subscribers coming back each month. However there are a number of ways to obtain content such as getting members to create content, outsourcing it to freelancers at www.elance.com or www.rentacoder.com , or you could use content from  private label rights or indeed the Public domain.

The thing to remember is that it may be no more difficult to sell a membership than a one off product. this week I came accross an excellent FREE ebook on this subject written by one of the top internet marketers, namely Ewen Chia. here is the link  http://internetwealth.com/lazy.pdf  enjoy.
