People love getting bonuses. It’s awesome to pay for one thing and get this extra thing thrown in on top for free. Here are five awesome bonuses you can add to your membership site with little to know work at all.
1. Website critiques or personal responses.
Depending on your niche, you could examine your customers’ websites and tell them what to change. If you were teaching a class about blogging, copywriting, article writing, forum posting, AdWords, AdSense, real estate and so on, if they create any kind of content that can be viewed online, simply create a video of you looking at their website and showing and telling them what to change.
If this type of video does not apply to your niche then record a personal response. Ask people to ask you questions and instead of typing up the answer, record a three to five minute video explaining your answer. You’ll find that you can give a much more thorough answer and not work as hard typing all that stuff up.
2. Updated information or URL recommendations and reviews.
Most information becomes out of date after a little while. What if you spent 30 minutes per month for a year going through the URLs you recommend and updating them for the current year? That would be a great selling point because you could make your membership site go from version 1.0 to 1.1 to 1.2 and you can tell your members or even your prospects that it’s been updated a set number of times in the past 12 months. For example, “It’s been updated 35 times this year to make sure all the URLs are up-to-date and the things I recommend are brand new.”
3. Templates, worksheets and checklists.
This is all about hand holding. It’s one thing to show somebody how to do something step by step. But why not create a written down step-by-step checklist they can use to easily repeat the process later even if they forgot most of what was in your video?
For example, you can show somebody how to set up a WordPress blog and then create 10 step checklist of things like install a database, download WordPress, upload WordPress, add administrator account, add first blog post. That way, people can tell that they
