    Default My Brutally Honest Site Reviews by Dave - Part 2

    I've been picking on poker two sites so far with My Brutally Honest Site Reviews by Dave with

    MTT Strategy | Poker Tips & Tricks | Poker Competitions | Best Poker Bonuses

    and

    Poker School / Poker Lessons / Free Poker Training Videos

    Both of these websites offer highly valuable poker strategy information for free hoping to get visitors from the search engines... sign ups and maybe make some money along the way.

    That is the way poker affiliate marketing works.... right?

    Wrong!

    There are many ways to make money from a website...... no matter what your niche.

    Here is my advice to both of you.

    I'll probably get into trouble from Puddy for posting this without permission first but what the hey..... I'll squeak in his affiliate link at the end:

    Read This Post!

    Many people falsely believe traffic generation is the cure for an unprofitable Website. While every site obviously needs visitors to flourish, the reality is that most struggling marketers are not properly leveraging the traffic they already have.

    When I first brought this topic up on my blog, I caused a bit of a stir. It’s difficult for website owners to understand that they can make more money without increasing their traffic but there’s nothing new to the “more is less” philosophy. Virtually every marketing consultant on the planet will ask you to look closely at resources you already have, before urging you to develop new products or look for new prospects.

    In this article I’m going to concentrate on a strategy dubbed, Login Frequency Marketing, or LFM. This straightforward concept is the single biggest contributor to my early success. It allowed me to stop working hard for a little extra cash and start enjoying a great full-time living from Internet marketing.

    When I first began my journey to online success, I struggled with issues that I suspect many people reading this can relate to. I lacked the resources to compete with the big hitters, I didn’t have much traffic and I couldn’t line up JVs because nobody knew me.

    I used the membership site model to overcome every single one of these issues and, with only a small amount of effort, you can duplicate or exceed my success.

    Don’t be intimidated by the idea of owning a membership website. Contrary to popular belief, membership sites do not always involve a monthly commitment to creating new content. It’s not written in stone that your member program must require you to convince prospects to sign up for a continuity plan.

    The typical response to the suggestion of starting a membership site is hesitation or dismay, primarily because of the way this model has been portrayed in mainstream discussions. Over the next few months I'm going to outline a membership site method that is neither commonly taught, nor used, but that can produce incredible results.

    I look forward to busting a few of the main myths and misconceptions surrounding the membership site model. For now, here are the key points I want you to absorb:

    • Your member site does not necessarily have to promise new content each month.
    • You can profit immensely without charging a recurring monthly fee.
    • A successful membership site can be built around any product or service!
    • Above all, a membership site is a powerful delivery mechanism!

    This particular delivery system can bring you eager JV partners, residual income, instant traffic, and a responsive mailing list. For these and other reasons I believe the membership model is absolutely the most effective avenue for building an unstoppable online business. A membership site following the LFM strategy can greatly enhance the results of even the most basic campaign. Allow me to demonstrate how this works.

    Login & Cash In

    Let’s say you want to build your list by giving away a free report. Rather than just using an autoresponder to collect signups and sending the download link via email, you can place your gift inside a secure member’s area.

    Member registration forms take about the same time to complete as email subscription forms, and prospects who really want your free information will be happy to fill out a couple of extra fields. Once the process is complete your membership software can add the new signups directly into the autoresponder database of your choice.

    When your new subscriber/member logs in to collect his or her gift, you can take them through an entire series of paid offers before they arrive in the main member’s area. As this person has just taken positive action by requesting something from you, they are ideal prospects for an exciting offer. Most quality member scripts will allow you to configure the offer process for maximum profit; if a member chooses not to buy the first offer the software can show them a “second chance” pitch that gives them specially reduced pricing.

    This is such a simple strategy, yet it allows you to literally get paid while you build your list! With a good membership script you can even track affiliate sales on the login offers, thus providing other marketers with an incentive for sending you new subscribers.

    Once you have a login mechanism, you can pull those same people back into the system and walk them past new offers anytime you like; all you have to do is add more free content or gifts to the download area. Send an email inviting members to login and collect a new bonus you’ve just added, and watch the money roll in as a percentage of them also make a purchase.


    EXPERT TIP: Whenever you want to test a new sales page, you can simply add it to your membership site as a login offer.


    This is such an incredibly easy way to make money. Over the years I have identified a whole host of ways to get members to log back in. You might even consider requiring your members to login at least once every 30 days to retain active status. By configuring your script to send reminder emails, you’ll be able to present new offers on a regular basis as people log in just to avoid being deleted from the system. Repeat traffic of this nature is one of the most reliable ways to increase revenue

    You can also give each of your new members an affiliate link so they can build your list and create more new sales for you. In fact you can send the affiliate information out automatically each time someone registers an account. In this scenario instead of just sending a welcome email with the download link each time a subscriber comes along, you’ll be actively compounding your earnings by instantly converting new leads into affiliates.

    Joint Venture Bait

    I discovered early on that just having a login mechanism could even help me generate more JV support. It was actually quite shocking what a simple login page allowed me to do in terms of recruiting powerful, joint venture partners.

    It occurred to me that if I couldn’t generate plenty of my own traffic, perhaps I could use the flow of traffic generated by successful marketers. You’ve probably heard this before and if you’re like most, you’ll say it sounds impossible… but it’s not. In fact pulling traffic from existing sources is surprisingly easy once you have a plan and some leverage. The key word here is leverage; you need something prospective partners want.

    A simple membership website allows you to create instant leverage because you have a platform for delivering long-term exposure to any promotional partners. In my case I got people with large email lists to promote my products by agreeing to place permanent ads (with my affiliate link) for their products on my member login page.

    I benefited from a spike in leads and sales from their email broadcast and they enjoyed a steadily growing stream of traffic from my ad. I also earned a residual income from the affiliate checks. As my membership grew so did the number of visitors I was able to send to my joint venture partners, eventually it was enough traffic and sales to get them to add my ad permanently to their web pages

    By using a simple rotator script to display ads from multiple partners, I easily lined up reciprocal email promotions from many people and over time I received a substantial flow of traffic from those mailings. This is a totally win-win scenario and you don’t need much to pull it off.

    Even if you don’t have many members in the beginning, most people will be willing to work with you as long as your site and product are quality. Prospective partners will understand that, because of the permanent nature of the ad on your login page, their traffic will increase over time as your membership expands.

    This tactic takes a little time to pay off but it’s totally worth it. I’ve built 4 separate six-figure business and a mailing list of over 160,000 readers using this easy cross-promotion model.

    These suggestions really are only the beginning of what’s possible with membership sites. Just about every marketing, sales and promotional basic, can be made more effective by implementing a membership model.

    Tag and MOSEBET should be free membership sites.

    Get every site visitor that you can into your profit funnel and market to them over and over again.... use your imagination... be creative!

    Be a pal... a mentor... a friend.

    And you will make good money from all your efforts.

    This is really solid and I love the time you've taken to write it. It's given me a lot to think about and although my site is generating much more money as of late, there is a great deal more to be had I know it.

    I'm going to try and find out what I can do to impliment something like this via a PAS template (which my site is).

    Thanks again for your input.

    Very interesting concept Dave. I was just looking into it and discussing with a few others. You could use a membership software like amember and make the strategy section require a free membership to view. You could then use First Click Free from Google to allow all of your protected content to remain indexed and ranking. Using this method, a user who lands on your article from a google search will see the full article, but when they click to read another they are hit with the sign up form. In my opinion, if you had a lot of strategy related traffic you could build up a pretty good sized community/list to market to. Thinking of doing this myself.

    amember is OK but I recommend

    Membership Software - Easy Member Pro

    I use it myself for several membership sites.
