How to get the most from membership sites
Below is a MRR and PLR article in category Business -> subcategory Other.
Maximizing Your Experience with Membership Sites
Membership sites are everywhere, with many marketers offering low-cost trials. However, there’s only so much time you can spend online. Even if you have a broadband connection like I do, peak usage times can slow it down. This makes exploring membership sites a challenge, especially for those still using dial-up.
Making the Most of Trial Accounts
One effective way to utilize trial memberships is by using an offline browser. When I join a new membership site, I connect with an offline browser to download the site to my computer. This allows me to explore the content at my own pace, without worrying about slow internet speeds. Offline browsers adjust the site’s links so it functions smoothly on your computer, giving you a seamless experience without needing an active internet connection.
Keep in mind that some sites can take up significant space?"possibly a gigabyte or more. I usually transfer these to a DVD with my DVD burner to save space on my hard drive.
Evaluating Ongoing Membership
I only continue memberships after a trial if the content remains beneficial. Few sites meet this criterion, but one standout is Dan Kennedy’s site, which provides valuable newsletters both via email and mail.
Recently, I signed up for a trial offered at just a dollar for the first month. Should I choose to stay on, it’s just under $30 a month. However, it’s crucial to monitor these memberships, as costs can accumulate quickly.
Retaining Information and Access
The advantage of trial memberships paired with offline browsing is retaining access to valuable information at a lower price. Interestingly, many marketers don't update their databases, so your login details might still work well after your trial ends?"sometimes even years later?"which is something to keep in mind.
If I ran a membership site, I’d ensure passwords were changed monthly, assigning a universal password to manage access efficiently.
By using strategies like offline browsers and carefully evaluating ongoing value, you can maximize your experience with membership sites and get the most out of your trials.
