"A subscription website is a
combination of doing what you love and sharing your wealth of
knowledge with those who will truly appreciate it. I know from personal experience. For three years, I was editor of the Subscription Website Publishers Association, an online newsletter, before I merged it with the Mequoda Library, another successful membership website (of which I am Editor-at-Large). I know the vital strategies and techniques for succeeding online because I learned most of them the hard way.
Believe me, there has never been a better time to create an online community that will allow you to live your dreams and prosper beyond your imagination! But only if you do it the right way. In this e-book, compiled from nearly five years of the best articles from the SWEPA archives, you'll learn how to succeed -- and how to avoid the pitfalls."
-- Peter A. Schaible
Now you can stop dreaming and start making money with your own subscription website or online newsletter.
If you're a
writer, researcher, subject matter expert, enthusiastic hobbyist,
or an authority on almost any subject, you have the potential to
start your own profitable subscription website or online
newsletter.
People are more than willing to pay to learn
what you already know.
Smart website owners are now
realizing just what their hard-earned information is worth.
Specifically--cold hard cash.
It's true. Much of the
information that used to be available for free to anyone and
everyone on the World Wide Web has been moved behind closed
doors.
Smart writers are not giving it away anymore.
They're setting up paid, members-only websites and building online
communities of subscribers who value their
knowledge.
Without a doubt, the Internet is changing and
creating moneymaking opportunities for people who like to write
and teach.
"Lots of people talk about membership websites, but only Peter Schaible tells you how to do it in step-by-step detail. You'll learn how to plan, produce, and promote all aspects of a membership site from an expert who's helped thousands achieve profit, satisfaction, and success. You'll learn the questions to ask and the steps to take."
-- Roger C. Parker, author, The Streetwise Guide to Relationship Marketing on the Internet, www.onepagenewsletters.com
The end of free
Much of what used
to be free on the web is now accessible only for a fee. There is a
definite shift away from websites offering free information and
toward a subscription, or pay-for-view business
model.
There are several reasons for this
trend.
First, only a few websites operated by big companies
can afford to provide valuable content without being compensated.
Some can do it for the public relations value, but they are the
exception.
The rest of us can't be so generous. And trying
to recapture our expenses by selling advertising on our websites
has failed to pay the bills.
Second, the rise of the
Internet has enabled people with similar interests to find each
other and form online communities. Whether your interest is in
politics, gardening, or model railroading, the Internet connects
you to others who share your interests.
Third, people who
contribute to public online discussion forums are feeling
vulnerable. You never know who is lurking and reading your
comments.
But in the privacy of a subscribers-only website,
people feel more secure. They can share ideas with an affinity
group of like-minded people without fear.
The result is a
proliferation of subscription websites and online newsletters on
literally hundreds of diverse and specialized topics.
This
could spell opportunity for you.
The fact is that all those
years of study, hands on experience, and tried and true wisdom is
worth a hefty income when turned into the new online
community.
Communities that cost money to
enter.
Communities that not only bring together a group of
people interested in a common topic, but also provide value and
insiders secrets that the public is dying to know
about.
"I publish three subscription websites. I would hate to try to do it without the information in this book. I wish it had been available a long time ago."
-- Jerry Minchey, www.SearchEngineU.com
Why having a subscription website on the Internet is so great

you have an almost unfair advantage over other businesses that

The five most profitable subscription website business models
By far, coming up with the right topic for a successful
subscription website is the biggest stumbling block for
those wanting to get into this business.
Choosing your site
topic is a serious issue, as the topic you choose pretty much
dictates your chances of success with a subscription
website. How to Start Your
Own Profitable Subscription Website or Online Newsletter
shows you how to think through your topic and test its viability before you begin.
We have identified at least five successful models for
subscription website topic selection. These include:
- Existing
newsletter topics
If you already publish a successful
print newsletter, it is probably a good candidate for a
subscription website. Placing your newsletter content, archives,
and resources online in a 'subscribers only' website usually
enhances the perceived value of your print newsletter to both
current and potential subscribers.
Those print newsletters
that don't have an online presence may find much of their
potential audience slowly drained away by competitors that do have
online sites.
- Trade association
A 'members
only' website is an ideal extension of the services provided by a
trade association. Having a members area inside the association's
Internet site can deliver a wealth of benefits to members, and at
the same time, provide an incentive for non-members to
join.
One of the more recent trends is for trade
associations to exist only on the Internet, through
membership-only websites.
- Career
advancement
Perhaps the most common topic for
successful subscription websites is career
advancement.
This includes sites that provide advice, tips,
how-to's, and resource libraries about specific professions or
business skills such as management, marketing, business start-up,
making money, and the entire gamut of business
opportunities.
- Personality based/insider tips
Many
successful subscription websites are built around a well known or
respected person who provides subscribers with personal insights,
tips, advice and opinions. In most cases, the person behind these
sites has built a solid reputation and developed a following of
people wanting access to the information this expert
provides.
- Downloadable product
library
One of the more interesting subscription
website models is based entirely on providing subscribers a large
library of downloadable products, usually computer programs,
scripts, PDF files, audios, videos, tutorials or other materials
that can be delivered digitally.
"This should be required reading for anyone who is considering starting or currently has, a subscription website. As a membership site owner myself, I can tell you first hand that information in here is dead on accurate. I was pleasantly surprised to learn a few things myself as I read through this book. I wish it had been available when I was starting out. It would have reduced my learning curve significantly."
-- Tim Kerber, CEO, Small Business Web Site, www.SmallBusinessWebSite.com
