Membership sites
Andrew and Daryl
What is a membership site?
• Subscription site, continuity program
• Only make the sale once and continue to get paid every month.
• Build a relationship so you become a trusted advisor.
• Can continue to upsell other products based on the relationship.
We have a really unique membership
site system
It’s quicker, easier and cheaper than any other
membership site system we’ve seen
Problems with most membership sites
• Can take 6 months or more to set up before you make any money.
• Members stay an average of only 2-3 months, so you need to spend much more time marketing.
• Most membership site software is designed by and for people with a US company and bank account.
• Can be expensive to set up, depending on the software you use.
Benefits of our system• Can be up and running and making money in
as little as 3 days.
• Members stay an average of 12 months or more, so you need to spend much less time marketing in the long term.
• Our sites use a range of payment options that work in Australia.
• Costs very little to set up, as we don’t use expensive proprietary software.
How much do membership sites
make?
Our target for each membership site is to have 1,000 members paying $49 per month within 12 months
($588,000 per year)
