http://www.checks4charity.com/content/AtoZSEO.pdf

STEP ONE: Your Niche and Domain Name

Your Niche

The first thing you need to do, is decide what niche you want to focus on. What

type of membership website will you be operating?

There are so many options out there, just look around at what others are doing,

you'll find membership sites that deal with Private Label Rights (PLR) material,

investment advice, health and fitness, vitamins and nutrition, news, etc.... There

are some HUGE playgrounds (markets) out there, and there's room for everyone

to play.

For the purpose of this program and showing you exactly how it's done, we have

went with the Internet Marketing niche, building a site that shows our members

how to earn an income online in various ways. That's what we'll focus on in this

report, but remember that the techniques we go over can be used in ANY niche,

for whatever type of membership site you wish to start.

Domain Name

After selecting your niche, you need a domain name to go along with it. Now it's

time to brainstorm, so get out a piece of paper, or open a blank word document,

and start thinking . . . list 10-15 domains that you would like to use for your

website. Always go with a .COM extension, and if you need help thinking of words

to use in your domain, you might try suggestions at Thesaurus.com.


http://www.thesaurus.com/

Once you've got your list, head over to the domain name registar GoDaddy.com.

Each .COM domain you register at GoDaddy runs $12.99 per year. However,

never pay the full listed price. Instead, just run a Google or Bing search for

“GoDaddy Coupon Codes”, or “GoDaddy Promo Codes”, and you can usually find

a code that will take at least $3 off of that price for you. Sometimes you can even

get codes that will allow you to register a domain for $0.99, saving you $12!

Take the list of possible domain names you came up with, and start with your

favorite, making your way down the list until you find the first available domain.

And once you've found a domain available, go ahead and register it.

During the checkout process GoDaddy will try to upsell you on a wide variety of

options such as their own hosting service, private registration, etc... You do not

need any of these upgrades, decline all of them and pay for the domain name

only.

Once your domain is registered, it's time to setup hosting!


http://www.Google.com/

http://www.bing.com/

http://www.godaddy.com/

STEP TWO: Hosting

You've got a domain name registered, now it's time to setup hosting for that

domain. Hosting, and getting a good hosting service is vitally important to the

success of your business.

Those who are just starting out and on a limited budget may be tempted to go

with a “free” hosting service of some kind. Do not go this route! These free

hosting services often place ads on your site, and their reliability, the amount of

traffic and storage they allow, the features they come with, etc... these are all

extremely limited. It's just not something you want to be dealing with. You are

much better off spending a few bucks to get a good hosting service.

The hosting company we have used for many years, and highly recommend to

others is: HostGator.com.

As shown above, their plans start at under $4 per month, and include such

features as unlimited disk space and bandwidth, as well as a 99.9 percent uptime

guarantee.


http://secure.hostgator.com/~affiliat/cgi-bin/affiliates/clickthru.cgi?id=jkulp42757

Setting Up Your Nameservers

After joining HostGator, you should receive an email from them with your account

information. This will include the nameservers for your account.

Take note of these nameservers and login to your GoDaddy.com account.

Once inside your GoDaddy account, navigate to the domain management area.

Next, select the domain you want to manage, and then click the “set

nameservers” link.


Here you'll enter the nameserver info given to you by HostGator, and click click

“OK”.

That's it, you have now setup your nameservers!


STEP THREE: Your site

Your site will be split into two basic areas, the sales page (front end), and the

members area (locked “members only” area).

Sales page – This is the page where you do all of your selling. It's here that

visitors will arrive at your site, read over your sales page, and subscribe to your

membership site.

Members area – This is where those who have subscribed to your website will

go to view the content that comes with their purchase.

Outsourcing

If you've never written a sales page before, don't worry, we've got a way around

this problem. We recommend outsourcing the creation of your sales page. While

you could take the time to study and eventually write the sales page yourself, our

view is that this takes way too much time, and that your time is better spent on

other aspects of your business. Go ahead and outsource it through one of the

resources we recommend below.

Warriors For Hire Forum

This forum features many freelance writers, graphic designers, etc... who deal in

the Internet Marketing niche.

Outsourcing Tips

When outsourcing, it's key that you know who you are dealing with, and that you

select a provider who is going to do a great job for you. Just like there are good

and bad employees, there are good and bad providers too.

A few tips you can follow to ensure that your outsourcing experience goes as

smooth as possible include:

Make sure the service provider has been in business at least 3-months, and has

done previous work similar to what you are wanting them to do

Ask for samples of their previous work, and talk to past clients to see if they are

happy

Make sure they fully understand what you are looking for by hiring themselves

Put no more than 50 percent of the total project cost down, with the remaining

balance due upon your satisfied completion of the project.


http://www.elance.com/

http://www.guru.com/

Accepting Payments

Obviously you need a way for customers to subscribe to your service, and to

receive not only the initial payment, but each subsequent monthly payment.

There are several payment options out there, but the easiest way to set this up is

by using Paypal.

By using Paypal customers will have the option of making payment directly

through their Paypal account, or they can also use a credit or debit card.

You should have a dedicated Paypal account for this business. Don't use your

personal account, instead get a “Business Verified” Paypal account. This will

ensure there's no limit on the amount of money you can send or receive, and it

will also make things much easier for you come tax time.

The “Thank You” Page

After customers make their initial purchase from you, they need to be redirected

somewhere. You want to redirect them to your “thank you” page.

This page doesn't have to be anything fancy. It can simply be a page with your

logo, and text such as:

“We thank you for your purchase. Please watch your email for your account

information. If you have any questions, please let us know.

(your website name here)”


To create your “thank you” page, and any other static html pages you may need

(you can even use it to craft newsletters), we recommend going with a free html

program called Kompozer.

Images/Graphics

You'll need a supply of “stock photos” that you can use on your sales and thank

you pages, as well as for any other things you might need (such as logos,

buttons, etc...)

Two sites that we have used and can recommend are:

iStockPhoto.com.

Dreamstime.com

Both of these sites above offer a huge selection of images, and most are priced at

just a couple dollars each (often times less if you purchase credits in bulk).


http://www.dreamstime.com/

http://www.kompozer.net/

http://www.istockphoto.com/photo

Editing Your Images

After you purchase your stock images, many times you won't want to use them

“as is”, but instead will want to make some minor changes, such as cropping,

rotating, changing colors, adding text, etc...

To accomplish this we recommend a program called Gimp.

It's absolutely free to use, and has many of the same features of programs

costing hundreds of dollars each.

Members Area

This is the “bread & butter” of your site. Your members area must function

properly, be easy for members to navigate, etc... It's key to your success.

Now, if you are a beginner, setting up a membership area with username and

password access may sound like a daunting task. No worries though, luckily there

are several tools out there that make setting up your members area a snap!

We'll use the content management system (CMS) known as Wordpress to manage

our content and members.


http://www.gimp.com/

If you have decided to go with HostGator as your website host, setting up

Wordpress is super easy, just follow these steps:

1. Log into your cpanel at HostGator

2. Scroll down until you're near the bottom, and find the “Software & Services”

section. Inside this you'll see the Fantastico icon (smiley face). Click on it.

3. On the next page you are directed to, click the “WordPress link over on the

left sidebar. Then select “New Installation”.


4. On the next page, make sure your domain is selected from the drop down

“install on domain” box. Then, in the “install in directory” box, type in the

word “members”.

Make sure to complete the fields of: username and password, admin nickname,

your email, site name, and description. After you've completed all of these, click

“Install Wordpress” at the bottom of the page, and follow the rest of the on

screen instructions.


To access the Wordpress area you just created, go to:

YourDomain.com/members/wp-admin and type in the username and password

you created earlier.

You'll notice that in the members area you can click “Add Post”. A very easy way

to manage your content is to simply create a new post for each months content

and provide links to download it in each monthly post.

Managing Members

Every time a customer subscribes to your site, they will need their own unique

username and password to access the members content on your site.

To manage your members and their information, we recommend using the

Wordpress Plugin called “Your Members”.

YourMembers.

Purchase and install this plugin using your WordPress admin area. After you've

installed the plugin, you can view the massive number of tutorials and guides that

YourMembers has made available by clicking here.

Everything you need to know as far as setting up payments, managing members,

adding content pages, etc.... it's all covered in their tutorials.


http://www.yourmembers.co.uk/the-support/guides-tutorials/

http://www.yourmembers.co.uk/

STEP FOUR: Members Content

As they say “Content is King”, and as long as you can continually supply quality

content to your members, you'll have a thriving business.

Creating new content month after month . . . that sounds daunting to just about

anyone, even many experts. But here's the cool thing: You don't have to create a

single page or even a single sentence of this content yourself. Heck, you don't

even have to be an expert or knowledgeable in the niche you've created your

membership site around. Sure, it helps to be fairly knowledgeable, but it's

definitely not a requirement.

You've got two basic options when it comes to content creation, which we'll go

over below.

Option #1: Content From Scratch

The first, and most obvious option, is to create all of the content yourself. This is

time consuming, but a benefit to this is that it will save you a good deal of

money.

You don't need to be an expert writer to create your own content, all you need is

the ability to write basic “step-by-step” type instructions, which most all of us can

do (at least after a little practice). information they are looking for, not “fluff”.

Always remember that!


Researching Your Content

The best way to write your own content, is to simply start researching. Look at it

as you would if you were writing a college paper, and you needed to do your own

research.

Use Google to find all of the facts you need for your month of content. An easy

way to do this is to open a blank document and start cutting and pasting all of the

info you find relevant. After an hour or so, you might have 10 or more pages of

information that you have copied to your document.

Now, obviously you cannot use this content “as is”, as someone else wrote the

content, and you do not have the rights to use it. However, what you can do is

take this information and use it as your own personal research notes. Then,

rewrite everything in your own words. Boom! Just like that you have now created

your own content!

For content creation, we like to use the free program called OpenOffice.

After you've finished writing your content, you can simply go to “File”, and then

“Export as PDF” to create a PDF file of your content.


http://www.openoffice.org/

http://www.Google.com/

PLR

Another way to create your own content is to purchase the rights to content that

has already been created. This kind of content is known as Private Label Rights

(PLR) content.

If you purchase PLR content, think of it as your own personal notes. Don't just

send PLR content “as is” to your members. Instead, heavily modify it, writing the

content in your own words. You should not only rewrite the content, but make it

BETTER. Make it better by adding additional pictures, or graphs, or going into

more detail, etc...

Why go to all this trouble? Because you want your members area content to be

unique. Unique content is very important to your overall business success.

It's Not Rocket Science

Although it may not sound like it at this point, I promise you that creating your

own product isn't rocket science. In fact, it's not even complicated, not even for a

beginner. For example, let's say you spend 1-day on research, and then 3-days

creating your content. If you add 1 new batch of content to your members area

each month, you have worked 4-days, and can then use the other 26-days of the

month to focus on other important aspects of your business (such as advertising,

growing your business, etc...).


Option #2: Outsourcing

Creating your own product saves money, but it is a fair amount of work that

many may not be interested in for whatever reason. That's okay though, because

there's a great option called “outsourcing” available to create your own product.

In most cases, you should be able to get your own 20-40 length informational

product put together for anywhere from $150-$250.

Below are the sites we recommend using when looking to outsource your content

creation.

Elance.com

Warriors For Hire




WickedFire Content Forum

As we recommended earlier when outsourcing other aspects of your business,

always ask for samples of past work, and don't pay the full price up front (put no

more than 50% of the total project cost down).

Since you are running a membership site, and need content on a consistent basis,

it's also a good idea to make sure you have a clear and firm deadline for your

project provider. Let them know that the work must be completed by a certain

date.

Pricing Your Monthly Membership

We believe that the best strategy is to price your monthly membership fee at

around the $5 per month mark. This is a pricing level that just about anyone can

afford.

Another advantage to this price point, is that it's “forgettable”. You may have

subscribers stay on for many months, even years, simply because they do not

check their credit card and Paypal statements that carefully. It's a forgotten $5 a

month that goes right into your wallet.

The higher your price point goes, the less likely you are to have “forgotten”

membership fees.


http://www.wickedfire.com/content/

STEP FIVE: Advertising

Okay, let's go over the various ways we advertise our membership site. Keep in

mind that these tactics are geared towards the niche of Internet Marketing.

However, you can take this general strategy that we use, and apply the same

principles to any niche by utilizing different sites, resources, etc...

Where to AdvertiseYou want at least 2-3 ads in total running at any given time.

The advertising consists of:.

● Place ads on WarriorForum.com ($40 each**) - In what's called the Warrior

Special Offers Forum

● Place ads on WarriorForum.com ($40 each**) - In the Classifieds Section

● Place ads in the "Buy, Sell, Trade" forums at DigitalPoint (free).

**There is a one time fee of $37 to become a War Room member before you can

post ads for $40 each in the WSO forum and Classifieds.

Digitalpoint – Buy Sell Trade Forum

For Digitalpoint you must be a member for 14 days, have at least 25 posts to

your name, and have an overall positive reputation. We recommend getting at

least 50 posts to your name before you start advertising. This can be easily

accomplished by just posting relevant, on topic comments in various threads.


https://forums.digitalpoint.com/#buy-sell-or-trade.32

http://forums.digitalpoint.com/forumdisplay.php?f=24

http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-forum-classified-ads/

http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-special-offers-forum/


Warrior Forum – WSO Forum

For the WarriorForum you want to get at least 50 good quality posts before

posting your ad. You can ask questions, comment on other posts, etc...

You can get this number of posts in just 1 week.

You want these posts made so that you contribute to the forum, and are a more

established member. The better established you are, the more sales you will

receive. Just 10-20 minutes each day is all it takes to establish yourself as a

member, it's not hard to accomplish at all.

Pricing

The price you offer in your ads should always be lower than the advertised price

on your sales page. Why? This creates the illusion of a great deal, and everyone

wants to be part of a deal...thus creating more sales for your business.

Review Copies

At DigitalPoint you will, without a doubt, be asked for review copies from forum

members. If you want, give away a couple review copies to members with 250+

posts, and 25+ itrader. I would advise against setting up a full membership for

them. Instead, simply give them 1-month of content to review.

Your Ad Text

The body text, and especially the subject line, are EXTREMELY important in

determining the success of your ad. Let's face it. HYPE sells. Period. And there is

absolutely nothing wrong with using hype as part of your sales pitch, as long as

you can deliver on that hype.



Below in blue is a sample subject line line that could work well.48HRS ONLY! EARN THOUSANDS PER WEEK! SECRET STRATEGIES!

Updating Headlines

Update your headline every 5 to 7-days to keep it “fresh”.

A good way to brainstorm headlines is to look at the most popular headlines at

WarriorForum, and then modify a couple of these for your own use. Try and see

what “hot buttons” these headlines are pushing, and push these same buttons

with your headline.

For the actual ad copy itself, just use the exact same copy on your sales page. Of

course you'll want to use a different price point as discussed earlier, but other

than the price it can be identical.

Testimonials

Add testimonials to your sales page as you get them. The more testimonials you

have on your sales page, the more “social proof” this creates. “Social proof” =

money in the bank!

Special Offer Pricing

Change the pricing on your offers every week or so to test, tweak, and find out

what price brings the best conversions.

For example, on the first week you could offer a “48hr Special” and raise the price

by $1 every 48hrs. So you could start at $9, then go to $10, $11, etc....


For Week 2 you could offer your membership at $5/month

For Week 3 you could offer your membership at $7/month

For Week 4 you could offer your membership at $3/month (but only for the first

25 subscribers)

You get the idea here, just test, test, test, always mix it up to see what works.

You may be surprised by the results you get.

Backend Offer

A “backend offer” is highly recommended. This is extremely easy to setup. Simply

find a product that is related to your niche by searching the affiliate networks

such as JVZoo. Once you've found a compatible offer, place a link to this offer on

your “thank you” page. Of course you want it to sound as enticing as possible, so

make sure to use any available text and graphics that may be supplied to you by

in the affiliate section of JVZoo.

You can also send occasional emails to your members with offers that relate to

your niche. From our own experience, we've found that with just a small list (a

few hundred subscribers), you can easily generate an extra $500 per month in

revenue. This is revenue above and beyond your normal monthly membership

fees, it's like icing on the cake!

Stand Alone Product

Here's another idea to generate revenue: Sell each months content on it's own –

with no recurring monthly fee, just sell it as it's own stand alone product! If

you've got 6-months of content, you've suddenly got 6 new “mini products” that

you can offer for sale!


http://www.jvzoo.com/

WarriorForum Advertising

Once your ad has fallen off of the 2nd page of listings in the WSO forum, you are

allowed to “bump” it back up to the first spot on the first page by paying another

$40. Make certain that you are “bumping” your existing ad, NOT creating a brand

new ad each time. The key is to build momentum, which will take hold once you

have 1,000+ views, and many comments on your ad thread. This can only

happen if you “bump” your ad. If you just place a new ad each time, it won't

happen, and you won't get the same results.

DigitalPoint Advertising

At Digitalpoint just try to answer any questions that come along. You are allowed

to bump your ad every 25 days. They do have an upgrade option that allows you

to bump every 7 days. However, this involves a yearly fee of $125. If your ads

are doing well and the cost is justified, it's something you might want to consider.

Tracking Offers

You obviously need to know what ads are pulling in sales, and what ads are not.

A very easy way to setup tracking is to put a “tag” in the product name when you

create your various paypal buttons.

For example, you could put “wso” in the product name for a Paypal button that is

going to be used for a WarriorForum WSO ad.

Using this “tagging” technique will allow you to easily track your ads. This is a

must.


Autoresponder

Sign up for an autoresponder at aweber.com.

AWeber starts at just $19.95 per month. Once signed up, place a sign up box for

a “business newsletter” on your “thank you” page. This will allow you to build

your own subscriber list, and then you can recommend similar products to them,

INCREASING YOUR INCOME even more!

We recommend sending a newsletter once or twice per week.

You can use sites such as mthink.com to come up with your newsletter content.

If your product niche is outside of Internet Marketing, visit Big-Boards.com to find

the largest forums that relate to your niche, and use those forums to gather

content.

The ratio of non promotional to promotional emails should be at least 2 to 1. That

is, send 2 non promotional emails for every email that you send promoting a

product.

The newsletters should come across as very friendly, not “corporate” in tone.

***SAMPLE EMAIL***

We want to start by saying, that very rarely do we recommend a product

from an "internet guru".

We like to know that the product works first hand, we also want to know

that the support is there for you. The only way we can do that, is

by taking care of everything ourselves. That's why we don't make

recommendations very often.

Today is that rare exception. We have come across an eBook, over 240

pages in length, detailing 20 different ways that anyone can use to

make $100 per day online, from the comfort of their home.

The author is very credible, and we have read through it several times

ourselves. It's just an incredible product - especially at this extremely

low price. In our opinion, it could have easily sold for 10x the cost!

It's 100% risk free. There's no risk on your part at all.

Just click here for complete details on this amazing program.

Sincerely,

(your website name here)

***END SAMPLE EMAIL***


Recruiting Affiliates

Join PayGear.com, Clickbank, and JVZoo, list your product with them, paying at

least 60% commission. As customers purchase your product invite them to

become an affiliate and earn commissions on the sale of it. You can invite them

through a message in your autoresponder.

Rinse and repeat

Just follow these same steps each day (about 20-30 minutes per day of work),

and see good profits!

To sum everything up, you'll see a flow chart on the next page that shows how

your business should be operating (*sales from affiliates not shown).


http://www.clickbank.com/


http://www.PayGear.com/

STEP SIX: Big Money Profits

After operating your business for a few months, you should have a nice steady

income coming in, on a monthly basis.

Now you've got a decision to make: Do you keep the smaller monthly payments

over time? Or do you take a larger, one time lump sum payout?

The advantages to the smaller monthly payments, is that you'll have something

each month, it's consistent money.

The lump sum payout also has it's own advantages, as you'll have a larger

amount of capital that you can work with at once, which may open up new

possibilities.

If you decide to go for the larger one time payment, that will mean selling your

business. To sell your business we recommend listing it at Flippa.com.

A few of things to remember listing at Flippa:

• Include as much information as possible in your listing. This means screen

shots of revenue, traffic, and any other info a potential buyer might want to

see.


http://www.flippa.com/

• Always use Escrow.com for payment. This will ensure the safe transfer of

your business, and ensure that you are paid.

Sell, or Keep?

Whatever your decision is, it's completely up to you. There's not really a right or

wrong answer here. Some people enjoy a steady stream of revenue. For others,

it's all about the thrill of building the business, and then selling it off for a large

one time lump sum payment.

You may decide to create multiple membership sites over time, keeping some of

these long term, and selling others for a lump sum payment. Again, there's no

right or wrong here, it's whatever you are most comfortable with.
