Once you’ve started making money online, you start to think more about the effort you’re putting in and the rewards you’re getting out. OK, so you’re making good money - and that wasn’t really too difficult, once you’d actually set your mind to it and started actually working at it. But what now? If you stop right now, how quickly before your income goes back to £0?

That’s the thing really, if you stop doing anything, you’ll quickly be back to square one. So the next thing you start to look into is how you can create yourself an ongoing income that isn’t entirely based on your efforts. Once you have an ongoing, residual income, you’re free to build on that, safe in the knowledge that you’re building on something and you’re not starting each day from £0 again.

Time and time again, the way that’s proven itself to be the most successful business type is to create a group, to create a paid membership site. All you need to do is bring people to your site and when they become paid members, you start to get paid every month. And, they’re really not that difficult at all!

Ever thought about starting a forum? A place where people who share a hobby, interest or passion can share information and chat together? They’re quite easy to do really. On the other hand, they can really suck up hours/days/weeks of your time if you get them wrong from the start. And nobody wants to create something that’s a pain to work with.

My first website was like that. I built it all wrong, it was a nightmare to jiggle it all about how I wanted it. It was unfocussed, confusing, a mess… and so slow to put right it actually took me over 18 months to finally get it knocked round to something half decent!

Well, you don’t want to create a forum like that do you? I know I never will again! It was far too painful an experience to repeat. So, how do you start a forum the right way? A forum in just 20 minutes, not 20 days? How do you do it easily? Well, there’s a great new toolkit you should investigate before you start your forum, so just run your eyes over this for ideas and the insider knowledge you need to know today (not next year!) How to Start a Forum

Well, I’ve been fascinated by Wordpress since I first discovered it … now really regretting the months/years I spent poring over really complex systems of getting a website together.  First I learnt html, then I started fiddling about with all the free Content Management Systems online.  In fact, my first successful website was written in dotNetNuke - free but such a pig (slow) to update that it can literally take me 30 minutes to write something as small as this first paragraph and get it live online!

I am so glad I found Wordpress.

What I love most about Wordpress are all those lovely plugins.  Before, if I’d wanted some extra functionality it’d take me a lot of money to have things developed just the way I want. Now, with Wordpress plugins, I can get pretty much 99% of exactly what I want, instantly, and always under $40/£20.  Now, obviously a lot of Wordpress plugins are free, but sometimes you’ve just got to admit that somebody spent a LOT of time building a plugin - and if it achieves exactly what you want, then they DESERVE the cash!!

On your travels around the Internet, you’ve no doubt found some big giveaway site. On a giveaway site a bunch of people with similar products to promote, so they’re all being given away in one go, from one site.

You register, log on and inside there’s probably between 100 and 1000 free books, software etc. Now, nobody would want the lot would they!

But, think about it, they’re THE most efficient way of getting your products or message out there and noticed by people. And this is how it works:

As a Joint Venture partner you provide a product that people might want. And so do, say, 50 other people! So everything gets put onto one download area, each item has its own sign up box, so if somebody wants your freebie, they give you their email address.

Then, every one of the 50 people involved will have mailed out to their entire mailing list to tell them about the giveaway. If each of those 50 people had 1,000 people on their mailing list then your freebie has the potential of being marketed to 50×1,000 instead of just your own list of 1,000!

The Internet is a marvellous place, you create a website, traffic comes to your website, people are in awe of what they find there!  But then they’re gone. Few will remember to come back. even if they want to.  But you want them to come back, you need them to come back.  So what’s the answer?  The answer is to create a membership site.  By creating a membership site and offering your members more/better information once they log in, they will join in their droves.  I know, because my first site gained 13,000 members in the first 18 months without me doing a thing except having the site there and inviting people to join!  I still remember my surprise when the first person registered for the membership information, which at that time was just one page! To gain access to a simple list of information on one page …. 13,000 people joined. And remember, I wasn’t even good or trying! 

Why Are Memership Sites So Great Then?
