Help… What Should I Be Doing With My Website?

I know that you might be thinking you are doing everything you should for your website. Overtime you need to remember that your keywords can change yearly, monthly or even every few weeks. With that make sure you come up with a schedule of when you will check into your competitors and see what they have been up to – as well as apply what you learn from what is being searched in the search engines to your website – meaning keep you Meta Description and Meta Keywords updated.

My recommendation is Use Google’s External Keywood Tool or Market Samurai for keywords.

WebsiteMagazine.com in their November 2010 on page 39 had a few other keyword tools listed that you could try out:

  • WordStream.com
  • KeywordSpy.com
  • SpyFu.com

Let me know how you like these keyword tools.

Do you think you know what a membership site really is?

Here’s all a membership site is: a place where people can login using a username and password to get to their stuff.

Membership sites DON’T have to be this thing where people pay you month after month to get access! [See More Here...]

Although it’s nice. I hope that gets you motivated to make your first, if not next membership site, because it suddenly got a lot easier.

If you have a one hour video, just ask $47 for it. People pay 47 bucks one time, then get their login and can watch your video.

If they refund, they’re kicked out. Simple as that. No further payments after that first one.

Then let’s say you made a second follow-up video. Put it in the membership site so it shows up after 14 days.

Now, everyone who pays 47 bucks gets that first video, then after a couple of weeks they get the next video.

You CAN have sequential content delivery and only have a single payment.

Now let’s say you create a third video, and you schedule it for the 30 day mark. Now you have an instant video, a 14-day video, and a 30-day video, but at this point, you’re ready to raise the price.

Instead of simply doubling the price to 97 dollars, make it a 2-payment plan. Now they pay 47 and get a video instantly, they stay in and get the second video after two weeks, they get billed again and receive the third video.

The people you sold to early on get all this stuff for free… but the new buyers have to pay both payments, and if they cancel at any time, they’re locked out.

If they let it ride till the end, they get lifetime access to all three of your videos.

Isn’t that a better way of looking at drip content? Instead of struggling forever to create months and months of content, worry about creating the first month… then the second month… and so on.

Then change the payment button so you add more payments or a higher price for new buyers. That way you can stop at any time.

I want to show you the exact step by step plan to accomplishing EVERYTHING we just talked about in the last couple minutes, right here at Membership Cube – Setup Your Own Membership!

All the Best!
