Is A Membership Site Right For Your Business?

How many visitors do you get on your website each day? How quickly is your bottom line growing?

Would you be surprised to know that a membership site can actually increase both your visitors and your bottom line more quickly than many other marketing strategies and business models?

Consider this:

If you are only getting an average of 100 visitors per day, if just 10 of them join your free membership site youll have 300 new members each month. That adds up to 3600 new members each year. Put on another zero on the traffic stats and youd have 100 new members every day or 36,000 new members for the year. If you get 10,000 visitors per day and 1,000 are joining your site every day youll have 360,000 new members a year.

Do you see the potential here?

If you didnt have a way for those people to join your database youd have lost every one of them most likely never to return unless they really loved your site and took the time to bookmark it. The more you look at it the more having a membership site makes smart business sense.

Consider these benefits of running a membership site:

Membership sites keep your visitors coming back, which means more traffic to your site. More traffic generates more business and more sales.
Membership sites help you stay in contact to keep your business visible and in the forefront of your customers minds.
Membership sites enable you to send special offers for added sales
Membership sites allow you to give loyal customers and members coupons, perks and discounts so they spend more
You can sell advertising on your site to 3rd parties
Membership sites enable you to place contextual advertising links such as Google AdSense to earn money when your visitors and members click on them
You can provide members only content and updates to gain loyal customers
Make money by renting your database to 3rd party direct mailing services for added revenue
Release new products and services to your members first for quick sales with no advertising expenses
Membership sites increase customer loyalty. Customer loyalty is a difficult thing to earn. You have to offer an amazing product or service, you have to provide an exceptional customer experience and you have to have a strong brand you have to be memorable and even all of this combined sometimes doesnt encourage repeat business.
Membership sites increase credibility. When you create a membership site, youre announcing to your prospects that you are in fact an authority on the subject. Now you may have been an authority all along but committing to providing an ongoing benefit to doing business with you ups the ante. This is particularly the case if you make it an exclusive membership or create levels of membership like bronze, silver, and gold.
