Besides selling products through eCommerce solutions (which
can be highly effective and profitable), you can create extraordinary
money making websites - these online money making applications
can easily make you a six-figure income every month! The two
eCommerce automated systems are membership/directory websites
and eLearning websites.
Membership websites as Money Making
Systems for Generating Ongoing Revenue
Membership sites can be enormously profitable ventures. The
source of revenue might be from the visitor who pays to access
a membership directory, gains access to valuable resource information
or subscribes to an online publication. Sometimes the visitor
visits the site for free and searches for members within a directory
who pay to be listed.
Advantages of a Membership websites
A membership website is ideal for newsletters that provide
valuable tips and strategies such as investment information.
Many directories list providers of products and services that
appeal to a niche market. Women interested in regaining a more
youthful or shapely appearance for instance, might visit a directory
looking for plastic surgeons. A directory of products and services
related to home ownership in a particular geographic region
could have great appeal to residents in that area. The directory
could list everything from flooring and lighting companies to
builders and realtors.
Why Members Join a Directory
Directories are a form of advertising. Most businesses know
that the more exposure their name gets, the more business
they have. That is why they advertise in multiple places.
Advertising on an online directory can be one of the best
sources of exposure since more people use the Internet to
find products and services than any other method.
Membership in a directory can be very attractive if an appropriate
plan is in place that drives a niche market to that directory.
For instance, if the membership site is targeting country
club residents in a particular geographic region, it is more
likely to attract members that provide services to people
living in those communities. In many cases, the members within
a directory do not have their own website or one that is effective.
Even if they do, their website often gets limited traffic
and results. Getting large numbers of targeted traffic to
a directory makes it easy for these companies to get the exposure
they need to drive business to their doors.
Let Me Give You an Idea of How This
Money Making website can Produce!
The following example will give you a conservative idea
of what a membership website can generate. Let's assume
you are in the marketing business and have a website filled
with resource information that helps businesses market more
effectively. What you offer on this website is extremely
valuable and hard to find information that provides the
subscriber with an easy to implement system that works.
The subscriber pays $50 a month to use the site, take advantage
of a monthly teleclass and receive your e-zine (online newsletter).
Your teleclass and e-zine give you opportunities to market
other products including events that can make you even more
money. Let's assume you have 1000 subscribers who are
paying $50 a month. That is $50,000 per month and $600,000
per year, just for subscription fees alone! As you grow
you subscriber list, you also grow your profits.
eLearning for Profitable Money Making
websites - Automated Systems for Generating Ongoing Revenue
eLearning websites let you teach one or more courses online.
Students pay, learn, test and get results online within a
secure environment. With eLearning, hundreds to thousands
of participants can be using the system simultaneously. While
they are on your site, you are making a fortune without ANY
travel expenses OR time away from home! Accredited and non-accredited
courses in many fields of study can be offered online at substantial
savings to students. Reports are generated that provide you
with statistics and other important information for maximizing
your effectiveness and profitability. There is no inventory
to stock or ship - your product is your electronic course
that keeps making money for you over and over while you are
sleeping or on vacation in Hawaii.
Let Me Give You an Idea of How This
Money Making website can Produce!
The following example will give you a conservative idea
of what this type of system can generate. Let's assume
you offer 1 course and 25 people per day (750 per month)
take that course. Let's assume that the course costs each
participant $75. That is $56,250.00 per month and $675,000.00
per year! If you offer more than one course or increase
your fees, you will begin the see the potential for making
OUTRAGEOUS profits.
What does it Take From You?
Making a membership website or eLearning website work requires
that you treat it like any other business. Your level of commitment
to the project will be directly proportionate to your results.
Although these types of projects can be highly profitable,
they require a sizable investment in capital for web development
as well as initial and ongoing marketing and support. If you
have an idea for a project of this type, we encourage you
