LOOKING FOR YOU ALL
I'll get to the point...


I am going to

1st. HOST,

2nd. Design Fully OR HELP TO DESIGN a Membership Site.



What do you get in return? 50% of all PROFITS


Want me to rephrase? I will get 50% you will get 50% of PROFITS... What are profits? This is simple... Money left over after hosting expenses or necessary servers...



What are the expenses? 0 $ ZERO DOLLARS, why? Because I'll pay for EVERYTHING to START THIS

------

What is the potential... Do you know how many people join memberships and don't even do anything with it? You all probably have a gym membership, I bet you all don't even go to the gym more than 3 times a month if you go at all! It's true people pay $$$$ ON A MONTHLY basis and don't even use the service!

-----

With 100 members to join a membership at membership site X each at 20$ a month that is 2k A MONTH. BUT chances are the price is not 20$ or will not stay like that at all times.. Most membership sites cost around 50$ a month, or 97$ a month...if you can offer real great quality of services or information Within the first 3 months you'll maybe get 100-200 members to join if you aren't experienced in the membership business. That right there 200 members at 97$ a month is ... $ 19,400.00 A MONTH


LET ME SAY that a membership company based system is the most profitable existent in the WORLD...UNLESS YOU ARE A MONOPOLY...


-------

What I require from the people that want to run a membership site... I require dedication, and cooperation and communication.. NO MONEY, NO PHONE, NO NOTHING EXCEPT the above! YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE, but some time.



-------------

WHAT ELSE? Well that is why I made this thread... ----------------------------------------------------------------

X10HOSTING MEMBERS and VISITORS

----------


I want to start YET ANOTHER membership site...I currently run 2 fully...


It's a profitable business, and I want someone to join myself in starting another.





I am not just looking for 1 person, numerous people, the more hands we have within this, the quicker we'll get it on track.

----------------

Back to the NORMAL writing style I usually keep here...

I am basically looking for people who have an interest in making money online, on a monthly basis. Do some math and you'll see this is very profitable.

I want to start a membership site that is all about XYZ

That xyz will depend on what the members who want to be a part of it fully decide.

So that is why this thread exists...If you have ANY INTEREST at all in making money online, or if you have an even greater interest in running, or help run a membership site, then please reply to this thread with your thoughts.

You all choose the subject, we all decide on subject/s xyz's and we share the income.

----
What is it that you can offer online? Intellectual information, a special way to do x, or your interest in body building and weightless, what is it that you have a passion for?

Now take that passion and just think if there are others like you out there...if there are, then you just found yourself a membership topic.

-------
If you have any interest at all, I am open for suggestions, I will start it with you, we will make money. There is NO WAY we are not going to MAKE MONEY.

When you all put your ideas and say in your interest to be a part of this, then we can get the ball rolling, we can put some things together to further benefit OR if there are for example 2 groups created 1 for idea X and 1 for idea Y.... We'll start both.

-----------

PLEASE COMMENT, or ask questions, throw around some membership ideas and we can get to making money online within the next month, MONTH AFTER MONTH.

I'm so broke I can't afford to breathe most of the time *grumble* But why does this sound too good to be true? Sorry, once a skeptic always a skeptic I guess...

Too good to be true? I'm a skeptic too,

You lose nothing...I'll be hosting it all on my paid hosting here at x10hosting.com

I do own membership sites...1 is fully operational, virtualhotels.lagronsinc.com is a work in progress (haven't worked on it in a month or more, since april if I'm not mistaken)...then there is a Betting School, Owned by Lagron's Inc. that I am also working on, on my spare time.

---
It may sound too good to be true, but do some research online if you like, you'll see how many people join membership sites, and what the averages they are paying are at, some people pay 20$ to be a member at x while others pay 50$ to be a member at y, that does the same thing as x.

The membership business model is unique in 1 way.

It is unique in the fact that it you only need to get a client once, once you get them once, they are with you for as long as you interact with them (create a forum, mere discussions, and as long as you offer content/information relevant to why they paid money to join)...

There is a guy who hyped up his product extremely. He stated only 500 people would be allowed to join his membership site.

Want to know the price? $ 1,000.00 for the first month payment and then $ 97.00 a month afterwards.

The first day it launched, he got himself a mere $ 500,000.00 in about a weeks worth of people joining. He made it exclusive, invitation only after a couple of months. Neil Strauss was his name, he offered a service/information with support and even though the market is SMALL, he made his money.

----That is a EXTREME case of INCOME.

Speak to owners of other membership sites you'll notice it does take time if it's your first one. What you will also notice is that average membership sites from novice individuals get about 100-200 members to join in a span of 2 months.

That is low, but at$ 20.00 a month that's some very nice extra income at $ 4,000.00

-----------
Worst case scenario I have found is that people don't get past 200 members joining. But that still doesn't mean your not making that $ 4000.00 a month.

-
People join membership sites because that membership site offers something they are willing to hand you money to get more information on.

$ 20.00 is not much AT ALL, people waste that much going to McDonalds for lunch.

What tends to happen is that the lower the membership costs, the more people that join...that makes sense doesn't it.

So $ 7.99 to join membership x online, and receive it's full and individed support/information/specialties.

$ 8.00 is nothing, people charge $ 4.99 for some memberships.

So how do they profit? They offer information/products/services and people merely spend that 5$ to obtain it, 5$ isn't anything to a consumer looking to find out how to lose 10 pounds in a week or 2, people pay more than that for a weightloss membership.


With such low prices, at $7.99 you won't end up getting 10 people to join, 20, 50, or 100, you'll PROBABLY END UP with 1000 members within the first 4 months...if you know something about ranking well on google, if you know more...and get on the first or 2nd page...you just increased your membership count substantially.

----------

TO CLEAR THIS UP

How much money are you currently making online?

Your either making ZERO a month, less than $ 50.00 a month, Less than $ 500.00 IF YOU are "good."

Well can many of us say they make AT LEAST 1,000 DOLLARS A MONTH ONLINE? I don't think so.

...The membership business model is made to not fail, AS LONG AS you provide the information people pay for, and a place for discussion (forums) along with 1 or 2 weekly new articles...I mean 2 articles take maybe 1-2 HOURS MAX to write, and if you know what you're talking about 30 minutes or less.



People with dedication, persistence, and perseverance...people that want to make money online, are the people that will make it.

It may sound tooo good to be true, but then here I am, hosting ALL my sites at x10hosting, on a paid account. What is it that you will lose?

Time...it's true, if we don't get through all the steps required to create a successfull membership site, we will lose the time we spent...

I don't like having my time wasted. Why start something that could have made a couple thousand a month, and leave it unfinished, to have lost all the time you have put into it?

With this thread, I hope to gain some people that want to help run a membership site, that they agree they want to run as a group. With this thread, heck I wish I could get 2 groups of people to start 2 membership sites.

If you guys feel I'm going to scam you..go ahead report me to x10hosting.com I am sure that will be a relief to know that I don't care about such an incident, but I know I'm not going to scam anyone.

----

The membership business takes time, doing it alone is not reccommended but is possible, and thus will TAKE LONGER to complete.

With people, with a common and heartfelt goal to make $ 1k a month from a site that is 100% POSSIBLE.

So it's 3 people for membership site x excluding myself... wow, we all just made 250$ a month...and will probably make more, since more people are to eventually join.

I am confident, that with a goal set, and people to help reach that goal on our spare time (which I honestly have a lot of) we can make ourselves money online, monthly, with a membership business.

-------
If you don't trust me...I really don't know how to gain it...I've been here for 4 years or more if I'm not mistaken...

Just give the membership business model a try, what do you have to lose? TIME. That's it.

And the only time you will lose TIME is when we don't finish the membership site.


-----------------
Note: I have already bought all necessary membership-site software.
-----------------

From John Klyne, hope at least 2 people come by and help with a new business.

Just post some ideas, that you would be interested in having a membership site for, or give anything else that you think would be useful.

I am 100% serious in wanting to start another with members of x10hosting Any profits will be split equally.

Jennacide what is it you have interests in?

-----------
Note: I am using this thread as a location for ideas on a new membership site, as well as a location to entice members of x10hosting to join in running it with me.

This sounds brilliant. I'd love to be involved. With summer coming up, I'm going to have lots of time on my hands.
My interests centre mainly around the field of technology, current events and that sort of thing. I think it leaves a lot of scope for specialisation and expansion, as well as article writing. Of course the downside is that there are already lots of sites providing that sort of thing. However, my interests are far and wide, and I would be willing to contribute to something new. We could write tutorials, or even take a completely different path.

Me? Music, I soooo loves music ;) But that's gotta mean all kinds of rights, royalties, etc... so I'm sure that's right out. I'll think of something I'm sure... Give me some time LOL

---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:37 PM ----------

Okay well, I don't have any doubt that a membership site will draw folks but what? That's the question and well... here's a list of my skills:

1. Joomla 1.5x Expert (still learning 1.6 but frankly it's really not worth the effort)
2. PHPBB2x-3x (yes I can bridge the two no problem and both will look the same)
3. Community Builder (Joomla specific mod for building true communities)
4. CSS
5. Marketing

3. Photoshop
4. I can write tutorials, hell, I write pretty much anything really, just put me to work.

I'm in, lets do this

wow. i am waiting to see your success. if you'll be successful then i'll try this concept in my country and my language.

but everything is available free. nearly everything! only ''hacking'' tutorial is not available and people are dying to learn it. but i don't think that anybody here has that ability to write those tutorials. and that's illegal as well.

Everything is free online of course, but it takes searching, and at times, it is not geared fully towards the answers you were looking for, membership sites are based on topics that can be found with a couple of hours of googling.

But membership sites offer a place of discussion for people with particular interests or hobbies.

Hacking...I know a perfect source for such information, you bring a GREAT membership site idea, one that can be extremely profitable. But I tend to stay away from doing illegal things of course.

When it comes to changing things to a particular language based market, your market size will be extremely downsized if the country your doing it for doesn't have many internet users...not sure what country you are from but if they have internet users chances are it's a market overlooked and untouched in MANY topics...very profitable.

I am glad there are currently 2 people that are interested.

I am going to ask a couple of "hard" or un-nice (for lack of words) questions.
I am doing this to find a specific market, with your interests.

My interests centre mainly around the field of technology, current events and that sort of thing. I think it leaves a lot of scope for specialisation and expansion, as well as article writing. Of course the downside is that there are already lots of sites providing that sort of thing. However, my interests are far and wide, and I would be willing to contribute to something new. We could write tutorials, or even take a completely different path.

Technology...I looked for a technology membership site...it is NON-EXISTENT, based on 5 minutes of google searches.

I am asking questions to get a better idea as to a membership site topic to cover.

That is PERFECT...but now, what is it that you can do with your knowledge that people would pay for? You said things related to technology do exist but no membership sites. Put your "thinking-cap" on and think of information you know about a subject you like that people would pay for...just toss around ideas, make a big list and post it if you like no idea is "stupid/dumb"...I've seen people make money with stupid ideas for years.

What I am thinking for this is a site offering free access. But with the option of paid access. Paid access would give a person specific help on their technological problems. A membership site has to solve a problem, if a person who joins does xyz that the organization suggests to do.

Me? Music, I soooo loves music ;) But that's gotta mean all kinds of rights, royalties, etc... so I'm sure that's right out. I'll think of something I'm sure... Give me some time LOL

You gave me an idea...how about this, a site geared towards the marketing, of bands and such that are not-known. Not those big popular bands, or singer groups, that you see on tv, but one geared towards those people who have a band, and want to get the word out?

A membership site where, people join to specifically learn how to advance their band to the next stage, how to get a spot on stage xyz, how to become known. A membership site where people can view other new bands and such as well as learn how to make their band better known to the public.

Offer the ability to give free snippets of music the bands you join have up there, give them their own personal area (bio) and even products like clothes they may be selling...for every sale they make the most money we take nothing (since they are members paying monthly, or we take 2-5% for having people buy things from that band through our membership organization. Just a quick thought, I came up with.

3. Photoshop
4. I can write tutorials, hell, I write pretty much anything really, just put me to work.

I'm in, lets do this

Both yours and stpvoice topics of interest can make $$ through a membership site if a problem can be solved, or information can be given.

------------------------------------------
Here is my unbiased view...

In the technology field, a membership site may not work because I do not beleive there is something that can be solved, or information given that people would pay money for. If you can come up with something that would work against what I just said PLEASE share.

For the music field...I just got 1 idea right out of the blue. We would be acting as an organization, people can become members in, and pay on a monthly, 6month or yearly basis.

Being a part of it would give the member access to information that would specifically teach or inform on how they can further their career in the music industry, with how-to's and such.

As a side attraction, music related news and such shall be posted if anything 1 or 2 articles every 2 weeks.

-----------------------------------------------
My ideas for a membership site.

A membership site where people pay a specific amount of money say $ 2.00 to "rent" a virtual hotel room. Depending on which hotel is "rented" the people who rent inside it gain special access to content only for that hotel, as well as content that all hotels gain access to.

There is for example 100 rooms in hotel x. Each room at $ 2.00

So that's a mere 200$ for the week. At the end of the week, we the organization offer 3 complimentary gifts 1st gift is bigger, 2nd gift is smaller, and 3rd gift is smaller...

The gift is a complimentary cash prize. The gift winners are chosen depending on their activity within the given discussions in forums, or articles, or the contribution of articles.

There is potential in this........This is more abstract in my opinion.

--------------------
Another membership site idea...

Marketing. Internet Marketing to be exact.

A membership site, where once joining, you are given step by step instructions to make a couple extra hundred dollars online, through the selling of online products that come from clickbank.com

This membership site will enable discussions, between members, and help specifically to reach an individuals goals....I beleive there is too much free competition for this to fully work.
-----------------------
A membership site for:

Card Playing.......this is something I am working on regardless : ) Offering "how-to's" to play cards, possibly how to count cards...but something much much simpler.

This membership site will be there to inform people on how to play card-games. It will offer relevant information, (that to be honest we can just offer from our own experience or online external sources).
-----------------------

A membership site geared towards "Innovation."

That's right, innovation, this will incorporate technology of course. What I have come up for this idea is very interesting.

I am thinking of a membership site where we let people create ideas, and share ideas, and work on them fully.

We encourage innovation for mankind, and welcome great minds of mankind. We offer information on how to get your product made, how to get stores to want to buy your product, or create it, how to work out the deals.

We will offer external funding. We shall invite external sources to view and fund specific, most applicable products or ideas that can be made, and shall be made with our memberships guidance. A membership encouraging and working to create new inventions.

There is more work needed on this idea but I'm once again tossing ideas around.

---------------------
Membership for...

Parenting.....
or Money Saving...

A survival skills membership site...
Weight training membership site...

I will get back and write some more things I had in mind but I have to get going for now.

Take what your interests are, then find a problem you can solve, post about it.

I am hoping more people join the discussion even if you are not interested in being an owner of a membership site.

You won't have to pay anything : ) It defies the purpose of joining us in this.
What are your interests henk?

I am thinking a "how-to-gamble" membership site but not sure on what you or stpvoice or Jennacide think.

If you have any thoughts to a membership site please share.
------------

I have already bought membership-site website/software. It'll be hosted and such on my paid hosting which has been paid for 3 years in advance. So no expenses exist.

Just need the theme to be chosen, and I'll send you all a staff-only link. From there we'll get this off the ground.

I've heard a couple people like you before. Someone who has had a site go successful, and then decided to make another site to earn even more money. Generally, it ends up killing both sites.

I would be willing to help on a pay-per-hour basis, and if you site makes lots of money then you'll make more money than if you were sharing the profits with me. But it won't make loads of money, because you're creating a website for the money. The biggest forum I ever worked on had over 2 million posts, and the owner was making about $200 a day in ad money alone. He started a board about something he had a passion in, spread the word, and people started joining. Websites that aren't supposed to make a profit make far more money that websites that were designed with the sole intent of making money.


A music community won't make money:
http://www.muzicforums.com/
http://www.ukmusic.com/forum/
http://www.musicbanter.com/
http://www.idmforums.com/
http://www.music.co.uk/forums/
http://www.musicradar.com/forum/

And those are just few couple examples. There are thousands of boards out there about music, whether yours will become successful is hit and miss - even with an excellent team of developers and designers, and professional marketing experts with expensive ad campaigns couldn't guarantee success, even if it were a free board.


2. PHPBB2x-3x

I'm afraid that I have the phpBB monopoly here ;)

This is a true statement but my understanding is that OUR site will act as a management guidance site. Perhaps we could even get involved with talent agencies, or scouts, or so forth. At least that's what's going through my mind when I first read up on this. I can totally see this idea turning into a real "connections" site where good bands could truly get together and actually talk with and meet up with agents, scouts and the like.

Honestly, I dunno, but I like the idea.

I'm afraid that I have the phpBB monopoly here ;)

pffft... is all I have to say about that =P Okay Call, you can have phpbb but I've got Joomla, so nananananana =P
