The first step in setting up your own membership site is deciding on a subject. This can be difficult and if you get it wrong it can ruin the rest of the process. There are many questions to ask yourself about what kind of membership website you want to produce. What kind of content will it have? How will the content be delivered? What market niche will it be in and how much should it cost? Let’s talk about five things you can do to help you answer the questions you have about starting your site.
What is your competition doing? What are the other membership websites in your niche presenting? What price do they charge and how to they expect payment; monthly quarterly or yearly? What is the content and presentation like? Do they have a live component? What makes them unique?
There are not too many ideas that have not already been tried on membership websites. There’s no need for you to try to use new, untested techniques; just look at what your competitors are doing and do it better.
What hole in the market can you identify? What can you provide that your competitors are not?
If other sites in your niche are doing all of their training by video, perhaps you could offer live sessions where people could ask questions and receive advice. Try to make your services unique.
What do you like to do or teach? You need to make your membership site in an area that interests you, there’s no use trying to write about or teach a subject that you don’t like. If you teach a subject and find that you go over the same materials all the time, you can create a membership website to hold your teaching presentations so that people can see them on demand.
What are people asking you to explain to them? As you’re teaching, take note of the questions that people are asking you and incorporate that material in your presentations. If one person asks you a question regarding your website content it is quite possible that many other people were wondering about the same question.
What solutions are people already paying you for? You should enter the market with a low-priced single payment report or a video home study course to test the market place. If the product sells well then create a membership website to hold and expand the content. Let the customers tell you how they like your content by voting with their wallets.
There are five things that you can do to help you decide what kind of membership website you should create.
Look at your competition, look at holes in the market, consider what you like to do or teach, examine what people are asking you to explain and look at what solutions people are already paying for.
