Re: The "Simple" Way To Generate Monthly Income
Dear Friend,
A straight line is the shortest distance between two points.
If you are like me... I'm sure you have heard that statement many times growing up. In fact, you might even remember that statement being used in your grade school math classes... but, I wonder how many people actually 'get' how that statement applies to more than math.
A straight line is the shortest distance between two points.
If I'm at point one and I want to arrive at point two, whenever possible I want to take a straight line. I want the shortest distance... sounds easy enough!
What I don't want are delays. And detours. And side excursions that lead me farther away from where I want to go. I want the direct route.
My teacher might have been explaining simple math, but this statement resonated with me. Still does. Whenever I head for any goal in life, I look for the "shortest distance" between where I'm starting and where I want to finish.
- If I can get the result I want in 5 steps, there's no reason to take 6 or 7 steps.
- If I can get the result I want in 1 week, there's no reason to take 4 weeks.
You get the idea.
Short. And. Simple. That's how I like it.
And I'm not the only one. I'm guessing you're a lot like me. Or I'm a lot like you. Whatever. The point is, we're alike. Especially when it comes to how we run our online businesses. We want to make money. And we want to take the "shortest distance" to get there. Right?
Good. I'm glad we're on the same page. Because...
Apparently, The Guru Way Is To Complicate Things
You know what I mean? It seems like many 'experts' teach that it has to be complicated to be worth learning or applying.
If there are two things that accurately describe 95% of the "products" being sold today by internet marketers, this definition of 'complicated' from Dictionary.com sums them up nicely: composed of elaborately interconnected parts, difficult to understand.
Complicated.
The opposite of simple.
Not taking the "shortest distance" between two points. No straight line there, folks.
It should come as no surprise that most people leave point one and never arrive at point two. No easily understood plan to follow. No goals reached. No success with your internet business.
Ding. Game over. Thanks for playing. Next please.
The good news is, it doesn't have to be that way for you. Why not? Because my teacher taught me "a straight line is the shortest distance between two points" and I was listening.
Are you listening?
Good, because I'm gonna keep it short and simple for you.
If You Want A Simple Way To Automatically
Earn Money Every Month, Here It Is...
Starting your own membership site is the "shortest distance" between having nothing and having sustainable monthly income. Just think about how it works...
You find a customer ONCE and they continue spending money
with you over and over again automatically every month.
Let's do some more "simple math"...
500 Members X $20 Per Month = $10,000 Monthly Profit
That's $10K coming in monthly from one site ... from just 500 members. A six-figure income from just 500 members.
Sidebar: This isn't an unrealistic number. Some membership sites have 1,000 , 2,000 and even 3,000 members paying fees ranging from $10 per month to $97 per month! In fact, I have made thousands by creating my own membership sites over the years!
Want to know something else that'll keep you up at night?
Who says you have to stop with ONE membership site? :-)
You can launch an entire family of sites. Imagine have 5 membership sites. Or 10. Or even 20. All of them bringing in monthly income for your business!
Sidebar: I'll explain how this is possible later in this letter ... including how you can set these sites up ONE TIME ... a true "set it and forget it" model!
The residual income that you receive month after month as the memberships are rebilled is at the heart of why so many people are scrambling to start their own sites.
Unfortunately, the emphasis is on STARTING ... with very few FINISHING.
Why is that?
I'll let you in on a little secret that hardly no one "in the know" is talking about...
Starting and running a successful membership
site the "traditional" way is HARD... Fortunately for you,
I've done it the HARD way so you don't have to!
There, I said it. It's the truth and anyone who has a successful membership site knows that it is the truth. It's not an easy thing to start, let alone keep running for an indefinite amount of time.
Let me explain why it's so tough (and then, I'll show you how to SUPER-simplify things)...
5 Reasons Why Starting A Traditional
Membership Site Is A Bad Idea
(What?!! Did She Really Say That?!!)
1. |
Traditional membership sites require too much work setting up. One of the biggest reasons why people don't get their membership sites going in the first place is because there is a lot of work that goes into the initial setup. When you factor in writing a dozen or so original pieces of content to "stockpile" in your member's area, getting training materials in place, setting up a forum, installing scripts, assembling a "library" of materials and other things most membership sites include, it's extremely time-consuming for the average person to ever get in place. |
2. |
Traditional membership sites have built-in pressures to create content. It is so easy to burn out by running your own membership site. The demands of updating your site 3-5 times per week with new content requires discipline that most of us just don't possess... let alone the time it takes to develop this content! |
3. |
Traditional membership sites require pricey and complicated scripts. By running a membership site, you have to manage passwords, protect your member's area, keep up with who's active and who's stopped paying you, manage your content and at least two dozen other things. This requires a membership site "script". Have you looked at your options? Most inexpensive ones are either inadequate or incompatible (or complicated). And others are way too expensive (thousands of dollars) or have so many "bells and whistles" that you need to join a membership site just to learn how to use them! |
4. |
Traditional membership sites demand a large investment of time. You have a forum to moderate, cancellations to process, content to add, technical problems to troubleshoot, password problems to fix, and a variety of other tasks that usually get left out of the "salesletter" for a product or service trying to convince you to start a membership site. The truth is, a traditional membership site requires a large investment of time. Now, if this is the ONLY part of your business you'll have, you might pull it off. But, believe me, it will leave the average person with virtually no time to do list-building, traffic generation and develop other products. |
5. |
Traditional membership sites include a continual battle to keep subscribers. Here's a figure most people don't tell you about: the "average" subscriber will stay active for 3-4 months and then they'll cancel. What, you thought they'd join and stay with you forever? It simply doesn't happen that way. With more and more membership sites being launched, this figure is probably going to get worse. People simply don't have the time nor money to remain active members in many different programs. Factor in indifference, a lack of effort, poor results and a neverending amount of other enticing offers and you'll be lucky to get them to stay 3-4 months. |
But, but, didn't you say "short" and "simple"?! Starting a membership site takes a long time and involves complex scripts that I have to install and, and, and...
If "traditional" membership sites aren't the answer, what is? I'm glad you asked...
The Simple Way To Create Automatic,
Residual Revenue Streams
Is To Start A "Fixed-Term Membership" Site
There is a much easier, more effective --- just as profitable!! --- way to start and run your own membership site that *is* the "next big thing" because of its results. I call this kind of subscription program a "fixed-term membership" (FTM) site. Let me quickly explain what it is...
Definition: "Fixed-Term Membership" Site
A "fixed-term membership site" (FTM) consists of content shared via autoresponder to paid members in regular intervals for a specified period of time.
|
In short - here is what you'd do in running your own FTM site...
1. Write ONE 2-3 page article lesson every week.
2. Load this article to an autoresponder for subscribers to access.
3. Sell access to the series, which would last 3 - 6 - 9 or 12 months.
It really is that simple! I've done it over and over again... and now I'm going to teach you how to build simple membership sites too!
One of the best things about building FTM's is the benefits... and they are the exact opposite of the barriers for traditional membership sites...
1. |
Fixed-Term Membership (FTM) sites CAN be setup in 48 hours or less! All you need to get started is one sales page, one article, one recurring billing processor (I.E. Clickbank or Paypal) and one autoresponder. Do you see how this can REALLY happen for you! Not "sometime in the future" ... but, quickly! Literally, this week you can have your own money-making membership site taking orders. |
2. |
Fixed-Term Membership (FTM) sites are easy to maintain! Instead of struggling to keep up with 3-5 fresh articles to your membership site week after week after week ... all you need to do is write ONE new article every week for a short amount of time. And, here's the best part, once you have your articles written ... you are done! You can move on to new projects while your FTM continues to generate automated revenue over and over again for you! |
3. |
Fixed-Term Membership (FTM) sites require no fancy, pricey add-ons! You don't need to buy any high-fangled scripts to get an FTM site up and running. All it takes to actually "run" the technical side of your site is an autoresponder account and recurring billing (Clickbank or Paypal) and that's it. It is so simple that anyone can set this up within hours. |
4. |
Fixed-Term Membership (FTM) sites require very little time! Think about it: which takes longer to accomplish ... Writing 3-5 new articles every week, moderating a forum, etc., or writing just 1 new article weekly? With an FTM site, the only real investment of time you'll have each week is to write one simple article to add to your autoresponder for members to receive. |
5. |
Fixed-Term Membership (FTM) sites keep subscribers active! Here's the beauty of the "fixed-term" model: subscribers will stay active longer. Why? Because with a "traditional" membership site there is no ending spot. There is no finish line. It just goes on and on, long after the subscriber has lost interest and moved on to other things. BUT, with a "fixed-term" membership site, there IS an ending ... after X number of weeks, the subscriber will have COMPLETED the series and will no longer pay. Many will stay simply because they are "almost there". And, when you apply the numerous strategies I teach on "finishing" you'll get subscribers hanging on the edge of their seats in anticipation for the end of the series! |
Let's look at a quick example of what a "fixed-term membership" site might look like...
Example: Your Baby's First Year
Let's put on our thinking caps and suppose that your target audience is parenting, with an emphasis on new parents. What could you do in order to establish a "fixed-term membership" site?
You could create a 12-month membership entitled, "Your Baby's First Year". In each weekly lesson you might share what kind of developmental progress should be made, warning signs to look for, helpful hints for various aspects of parenting a newborn, etc.
The beauty of this particular idea is that you can then create a "Your Baby's Second Year" and "graduate" members into another year of membership! :-)
|
Just a few other ideas for a fixed-term membership site could be...
- Investing in stocks and bonds.
- Collecting antiques
- Buying and selling real estate.
- Homeschooling. (First year, second year, etc.)
- Writing a book.
- Creating home videos.
- Scrapbooking.
- Fundraising.
- Teaching a Bible class.
- Romance.
- Relationship building/repairing.
- Losing weight.
- Running a marathon.
- Maintaining sexual purity.
- Breaking a bad habit.
- Homemaking.
- Improving your golf game.
- Managing your time.
- Any 'How To' Topic!
I literally could go on and on - there are thousands of possibilities.
In fact, you could create a membership site around just about any topic imaginable as long as there is an audience for it!
The process isn't difficult, confusing or time-consuming. This is Beginner Friendly! Anyone can set it up quickly. Especially when you let me show you how...

Here's Your Chance To Pay $47 Instead Of $324...
The Start Here Membership Program was originally part of a larger YEAR-LONG program... instead, I decided that there was an urgency for people to build their membership sites and start generating revenue ASAP! The Start Here Membership Program is the original first nine lessons from what was going to be a 12-month program.
At $27 per month, the 12 month program would have cost you $324 to complete... and you would have had to wait an ENTIRE YEAR to get all the lessons. Since I'm all about setting things up and seeing quick results, I decided that the program needed to be condensed.
Remember the shortest distance between two points is a straight line?... THIS is your straight line folks!!
The Start Here Membership Program is simple... all the lessons you need are there to get your membership site up and running and getting your first paying customer are included.
Instead of paying $324 for a full year of lessons, you'll only be paying $47 for the "quick start" version. And you don't have to wait a full year to access the lessons!
That's right...
