What’s Love Got To Do With It? (money, that is…)

These days, everyone seems to be talking about money. We hear about it on the nightly news. We read about it in the newspapers. We see people sharing their thoughts about money on Facebook, and it’s a frequent topic of conversation when people get together.

But the common thread in many (if not most) of our money discussions is that they all tend to be NEGATIVE! It seems these days we’re not just talking about money—we’re complaining about it. We’re worrying about it. We’re afraid of it. But worst of all, many of us use money as an excuse for delaying our happiness and personal fulfillment.

But not everyone sees money through the eyes of anxiety and fear. My colleague, Morgana Rae, is the author of a new book called Financial Alchemy: Twelve Months of Magic and Manifestation. Morgana believes money is the number one excuse for people not living their dreams. She believes we turn money into “the” big obstacle in our lives. She believes that too many of us think that money has to be addressed FIRST before we can get what we want or be who we want to be. Morgana has had first-hand experience of overcoming this kind of self-defeating attitude. Ten years ago she was struggling to make a mere $100 a month. But these days she makes $100,000 a month and speaks on major media outlets all over the world. She was even featured in the Wall Street Journal Online.

1. What are your books about and where can I find them?

The Dryad Quartet is a mythology inspired fantasy series revolving around the fictional land of Euphora, where beings such as the Muses, the Fates, Mother Earth, and Father Sky live and work to maintain the balance of life on Earth. The main characters are the Dryads, my own creation, who represent each of the four elements and are responsible for creating weather patterns, rising the ocean tides, growing trees in a burned out forest, etc. The series is set in modern day, and the characters interact with humans and demons from the Underworld, including one particular demon who wreaks havoc in their lives and is the central antagonist in the series.

7 Ways To Find Profitable Membership Site Ideas

by

Jimmy-D-BrownGuest Article written by Jimmy D. Brown

Some ideas burst into the air like a rocket . . . others quickly fizzle off into the night like a bottle rocket.

There’s a big difference between an “idea” and a “great idea”, right? Fortunately, there’s also a simple process that you can follow to get great ideas for your membership site. If you’re unsure how to begin and are stuck for ideas, try out these tips. Your next membership site may not be that far away.

  1. Personal. Begin by brainstorming your own life. Get personal! Creating your membership site is going to be much easier if you know a little bit about the market. That’s why it’s a great idea to start your ideas list with hobbies, interests and activities from your own life. Write down everything that you and your family members are passionate about or interested in. This list could be a goldmine for your membership site.
  2. Products. Ebook and video course creators have done a lot of niche market research in order to create their products. You can piggyback on this research specifically by keeping an eye on “product launches”. For example, if you see a lot of products being produced on article marketing you can safely assume that a membership site on the same topic would do well. Subscribe to email lists in your potential market to watch for product launches and get ideas for your site.
  3. Peruse. Peruse means “to examine in detail”. It also begins with “p” so it fits my outline. If you want a comprehensive list of existing electronic products that are selling well, Clickbank.com/marketplace is the place to go. Search through the marketplace to find out what topics your market is interested in learning about. You’ll be able to find new market ideas, content to fill your site as well as affiliate offers to create some backend sales.
  4. Popularity. Visit Amazon.com’s best-seller list. Amazon is the top bookseller online so it makes sense to search their marketplace for membership site ideas. The bestseller lists in various categories will help you see what topics are popular. You can easily gather membership site ideas from these lists. Hint: Go with the topics that are popular.
  5. Pulse. Forums are the pulse of your market. You can be sure that a market has members that would be willing to pay if there is an active forum dedicated to that topic. Track down some popular forums in your potential market and spend some time browsing through the topics. See what the market is talking about. Pay close attention to the FAQs section and the threads that have a lot of activity. These are indicators of the kinds of topics which might serve as a topic for your next membership site.
  6. Periodicals. You gotta go to Magazines.com! This website is full of membership site ideas. If a market has a buying audience, there is probably a magazine out there dedicated to it. Magazines don’t get started without advertising dollars to back them up. If advertisers are paying to get to a market, it’s a safe bet that you can create a membership site for the same market. On Magazines.com you can search by category to find membership site ideas. I love this place!
  7. Problems. The final stop I want to mention is Yahoo groups. These free e-mail discussion lists cover a wide variety of topics. Subscribe to a few groups in your potential market to look for ideas. The benefit of using groups like these is that you’ll often be able to see problems in the market that aren’t currently being met by other products. By going through these simple outlets you are sure to find a great idea for your next membership site.

If you’d like a shortcut for finding a great idea – and an even bigger shortcut to getting a membership site setup and taking orders, grab a copy of the Membership To Go package. This is a complete, one-year membership site that you can license for your own use. This has never been offered before and it includes EVERYTHING you need to get started, including private label rights to the membership content, its sales letter, presell report, articles and other marketing materials.
