My name’s Robert Plank, and my website is at membershipcube.com, and that’s the place to go to find out how to get your membership site up and running tonight, today without it taking six months or a year or longer of your life. I’ve set up a bunch of membership sites, and the number one problem I see people having is that they’re making it way too dang complicated, and I want you to have your membership site up and running as fast as possible. That way, you can make money as quickly as possible.
What I do, the majority of my income is to create what’s called a training course. You might have some kind of knowledge or some kind of skills that you can show other people how to do some of these different things. You can show somebody how to trade stocks. You can show somebody how to lose weight. Maybe you’ve seen people’s videos, blog posts, and books that kind of try to show people how to lose weight, but they don’t show it as good as you do. What you need to do is create a training course. We’d like to choose four milestones that we can break up this weight loss journey into, for example, fixing someone’s diet, getting someone’s exercise routine going, and maybe some other kind of lifestyle changes. It helps so much for you to deliver results and teach people stuff if you know ahead of time what goal they are striving towards, right? We don’t want to just have a site where we share some monthly interviews about weight loss or some monthly tips. You want to say that if your goal is to lose twenty pounds before your wedding or your goal is to lose twenty points before your high school graduation or you want to lose that baby weight, you need to join my membership course that shows you how to lose the weight in thirty days.
This is a great way to make money by just taking your knowledge and having this one to many relationship so that you don’t have to repeat yourself every time that you have something to say. You also don’t want to give away all of your information on YouTube or on blogging. You can give away some of that, but we want you to have your best stuff, your exact step-by-step checklist and system to be behind a pay wall, to be in an area where if someone wants to pay you a hundred dollars to get access to your meal plans, your step-by-step checklist, your extra videos, you can just pile them all in one place. I used to make videos and toss them on a web page, and charge money for them, but it got out of hand. It got really complicated and crazy really fast, so a way better solution is to make what’s called a membership site where you can charge somebody money, they pay you money, they get an account or they get a user name access to this area.
Maybe you only have one video, maybe you only have one PDF document, or maybe you have a collection of videos, but having a membership site is great for this recurring passive income because I can record it and put in the effort and do the work one time, and then get paid over and over again. In your case, you might be recording a training series on how someone can lose twenty pounds in the next couple of months. You put it behind closed doors in a members area, and then it opens up all this free time because you don’t have to teach people the same thing over and over again. You just email your email list if you have one of those, you just post to Facebook or your Facebook fan page if you have one of those, but this way you teach it once, and then you just get paid over and over again.
I want you to have a membership site, and the big takeaway that I want you to get from today is that membership sites don’t have to be recurring. It’s really tempting to say I’m going to make a membership site and I’m going to charge twenty dollars a month for some weight loss advice. I’m just going to get a thousand people to join and that’ll be an easy twenty thousand dollars a month for me. Well, the problem is no one is looking to join a site with a bunch of weight loss tips. They’ve already tried the weight loss tips, and if they want tips, they’ll go and buy a book at the bookstore for five dollars or they’ll go to Kindle Books for ninety-nine cents.
What you can get to people is get them to some kind of an end goal, and this can just mean that you charge one single dollar fee for that. You say for ninety-seven dollars, I’m going to show you, I’m going to give you a meal plan, exercise routine, everything to get to that goal of losing weight. This way, this makes it easier for you as well because this avoids the trap for you of making a membership site that just gets bigger and bigger, and you end up adding two years of content, and it’s still not online. Just get it set up. Create a membership site where you charge one single dollar amount one time for lifetime access, and get somebody to some kind of an end goal in a short amount of time as possible with as little work as possible.
