Introduction Starting your own paid membership
site is a great way to generate full-time or part-
time income. You can earn twice or three times
more than youd earn working full-time at a
typical office job. Wouldnt it be great to have
the income of a company president without all the
hassle and strain? Well, its possible when you
build a successful paid membership site. Youre
probably shaking your head in disbelief,
thinking How can I make that much money online?
Im signed with loads of affiliate programs, and
Im also an eBay seller. I make a few dollars
here and there, but not enough to earn a part-
time or full-time income. Rest assured youll
have a different point of view when you finish
reading this book. Owning a paid membership site
is nothing like being an affiliate marketer or
eBay seller. You have total control over the
financial aspects of your site. Its basically up
to you to determine how much money you make per
month or year. Consider this example: A
membership site with 100 members and a $25
monthly fee would generate $2500 per month. That
same site could also offer a special yearly
subscription rate of $240. Lets say 100
additional members joined at the yearly rate. One-
hundred members at $240 per member is $24,000 per
year. Were talking real money here, not spare
change. The example above is just one possible
scenario. You can charge as much as you want,
allow as many members as you want, and build as
many sites as you want. This is why paid
membership sites are not only lucrative, but are
a powerful way to build an online business.
