A couple of months ago, I was attending an awesome event in California and had the pleasure of spending some time with The Barefoot Executive, Carrie Wilkerson & AskMrVideo, Perry Lawrence.

A few of us got to sit in on a spur of the moment video training session out by the pool area taught by Carrie & Perry.  It was awesome!

Up until that point, I was always very nervous about doing video for my websites.  I thought it was too hard, or took too much work.  Besides, up until that point, I was never comfortable with how the videos came out.

Well, they taught me all about “Video Magnetism” and away I went.  From that spontaneous little 2 hour session by the pool, Carrie & Perry have put together an amazing course that will help you get over your fear of doing video on your website.  Also, they will teach you some super-cool ninja video secrets that will help you get a lot of traffic to your website and more subscribers to your list.

Don’t waste another moment, go in and check out this great Video Magnetism course right now, by clicking on the links in this blog post.

Three Ways to Build a Successful Membership Site

Membership sites are built by providing access to specific
information that consumers are in need of. Successful sites provide
convenient, sought-after information in an accessible manner. Content
is king, and finding and distributing much-needed content on your site
will make it both successful and profitable.

To bring potential subscribers into your membership site, focus on
their needs. Information consumers have a need for useful content on
their topic of choice, a need to know the newest information, and a
need for a sense of belonging. By meeting each of these needs, and
demonstrating how you plan to do so in your sales letter, you are on
your way to increasing your membership.

First, you’ll need to consider which topics are profitable. What
content is highly in demand at the moment? What do people need
information about? What do people want to know how to do? If you are
answering a frequently asked question, you just may have the right
topic for your membership site. Spend some time on forums, and notice
what questions pop up repeatedly. Find answers to those questions. Find
products that teach skills people want to know. Market to this need for
useful content, and you’ve got a great start!

Next, consider that some potential subscribers may already know the
information you found in your above search. Each market will have
subscribers with basic, intermediate, and advanced knowledge – you want
to sell your memberships to all three types. Research the newest,
hottest information on your topic of choice. Did a new method of
organizing widgets just hit the media? Be sure you have updates on this
information for your widgets membership site. Provide your members with
hot new products and information, to ensure they keep coming back for
more.

Last, cater to your members need to belong to a group. Potential
subscribers, like most people, want be part of successful groups of
like-minded people. Market your site as just the group they want to
join. Check in with your members often through forums and email
newsletters, and be sure that new members know they can ask you for
help if needed. Provide a sense of community, and pride in that
community. This will help ensure that your new subscribers become
steady subscribers.

When building your membership site, focus on profitable topics. Be
sure to include new, up to date information for subscribers with an
intermediate to advanced knowledge of your topic. Work hard to build a
community of like-minded individuals. This will ensure your continued
success in your site-building efforts.

But all the same, articles have to be written to be read. It’s just a matter of making them good. Making a good article doesn’t have to be strenuous and straining. There are just some points needed to be reminded of, and some guides to follow. Once you get the hang of it, writing articles could be fun, as well as profitable for you and your site.

Of course, writing articles must be about something you know about, that’s why if you own a site, you probably is knowledgeable about that certain topic and theme. When you write about it, you won’t have a hard time because you already know what it is and what it’s about. It’s just a matter of making your articles creative and interesting.
