By: Gary McGeown "When you start your online business, you will have identified your target market and know how you are going to help them. You will then build your contact list from within your target market and start to attract people - building your own community in the process. Once you have built up a community of like-minded people, who love what you have to offer, it could be time to introduce a membership site or a continuity program. What is a membership site/continuity program? Members pay an annual or monthly fee to belong to your club. The members continue to pay a regular subscription (usually monthly or yearly) for access to the content and resources that you provide as part of the program. Some things you can include as part of the membership fee: Forum- a place to network and share ideas with other members Monthly training call- exclusive to members, on variety of topics Transcripts and recordings of calls- pretty much a 'must-have' item in your program Group laser coaching sessions- access to short group laser coaching sessions on monthly or bi-monthly basis Discounts on products- discounts for any additional products your members go on to purchase Exclusive members-only events- events for members, which would be of benefit to them Articles, special reports and e-books- access to a range of material relevant for your members Discounts with preferred partners - deals negotiated with suppliers that offer discounts on their products to your members You might be looking at this list thinking there is a lot of work that you need to do to create for your program but it is not as bad you might think. A lot of the content can be created and scheduled in advance and you do not necessarily have to come up with all the content - bring on board partners and other contributors. The other thing to remember is to start small. Start out with just a training call, transcript and recording, until you get comfortable, and then introduce other things later. http://www.youtube.com/ Charging for your program You need to think about how you are going to charge your members.
