#9 MEMBERSHIP SITES
Memberships are key to developing an engaged community and ensure recurring revenue. They are a great way to bring like-minded people together and encourage sales.
It is easy to sell new products to community members because they trust and value your content. They know that if they run into problems or challenges with their work, other members will be more than happy to help. They can also easily go through community forums, search for the information they need, and quickly find answers.
Create courses, premium content, guides, or other valuables and make them exclusive to members. For example, if you are a blogger or sell eBooks, start a membership site and offer premium content to site members. Make sure your exclusive content adds value to your audience’s lives. Make your offers interesting and worthwhile. Give people a reason to upgrade from free content to premium content.
If you create online courses, divide them into two categories. The first category can be free courses and ones you sell on Udemy. The second category should comprise courses that are only accessible to community members.
Come up with an effective pricing strategy to attract people and get them to enroll in membership courses. For example, offer 5 of your best courses at a discount price and make them available to community members only. Charge a monthly, yearly, or one-time fee to get students to join or upgrade from Udemy courses to membership ones.
Offer additional benefits to community members such as exclusive interviews, live Q&A sessions, access to all courses, and private community forums.
Countless people have quit their 9-5 jobs and earn 6-figure incomes from membership sites. So, invest your time and other resources into the process and make it work.
#10 PRINTABLES
Design printables and help your audience save time and produce professional work in a short space of time. Printables are templates that users can download and use without creating them from scratch on their own.
Create and advertise on your site, blog, YouTube channel, or social media pages. Only deliver the package when you receive payment to avoid scams.
Printables can be planners, meal plans, cookbooks, workbooks, calendars, art prints, gift cards, kids coloring sheets, schedules, project planners, checklists, cheat sheets, lesson plans, and kids’ workbooks.
Conduct market research and pick something that you know people are interested in buying. Go to Amazon, search for best-selling products, and come up with creative ideas to ensure success.
Start small and grow from there. Choose one digital product and focus on it. Promote it to your target audience and concentrate on getting at least 100 sales. Once you reach that mark, move on to your next product.
