It doesn’t matter how much effort you put in your membership site; there is always room for improvement since you must have left out something at one point. This is why I am about to share with you three very easy things you should do to improve your membership site now. The three are, having a welcoming video, a question post based on questions and making your system a step by step system.
Have you ever made a welcome video? How do you do it? The best think to do is to take a video of yourself in a blank background welcoming people to your site. It may not look like much but when someone joins most sites, there is always a boring and normal collection of texts on the page so when they find that on your site somebody actually takes the trouble to personally talk to them, and they will feel the difference.
Record the welcoming video and inform them what they are require to do next; informing them which posts they should read first and inform them if you expect them to leave any comments or their descriptions. All these will depend on the type of membership site that you will have set up. If your site is a self help site you may have to ask somebody “what aspect of your life do feel needs improvement?” Do this and you will be shocked at the number of comments they will generate.
The next thing to do is look among the questions asked, half-post them and encourage them to comment on this. Having these comments is very convenient since there is very little work that you will have to do. A big part of your content can be generated this way , you will get users asking you some follow up questions, or even suggesting to you what they would prefer to find in the next content. Ask for comments at the end of all blog post or videos you have on the site.
Remember to make the training you are offering into a system; its is very hard for people to navigate blog posts without getting themselves distracted by other things or following some sort of a training course but making the system into a step by step instructions helps people figure out the exact steps to take next. They will even know if they are about to finish. This system also makes the content easier and more attractive to understand. People who are on for example step 3 or step 2 may refer to themselves as step three people, step 2 people, etc.
Incase you are yet to apply this improvements and changes to your site, please do them now. Make a welcoming video, encourage people to comment on questions you ask and turn your training into an easy to understand step by step system on: http://www.membershipcube.com
