Start A Paid Membership Website

The book I read to research this post was Start A Paid Membership Site by Ansel Gough which is an excellent book which I downloaded for free from kindle. I think this book or ebook is probably on an almost unique topic & would probably buy this book if I saw it for sale. It's on a very interesting subject & is a business that I think could work. The premise is you have a website that has content on an interesting subject, one example is Japanese candlestick charting, then you offer users either a trial membership at reduced rate for one month or a yearly membership. Of course this is renewed every year and you can make a sizeable income. Of course you make costs like getting people to build the site and it's probably to get experts in that topic to add additional content. It's probably a good idea to let users show off their work on the site or maybe do blogs on the site. For people paying for their membership a couple of recommended sites for safety of payment were http://paypal.com & http://worldpay.com . A site for getting ideas for a topic for your site is http://smartdigitalassets.com . Obviously you need a high ranking in the search engines but a couple of similiar sites are http://goclick.com & http://findwhat.com . A site where you can test your idea for a topic for your site and see its popularity is http://clickbank.com . You can adverstise for free on www.prweb.com , http://pressbox.co.uk & http://freesticky.com . You can also do an article on your site or your topic on an ezine site and that should give it lots of publicity. They also suggest rather than paying search engines for pay per click you might be better off using a SEO specialist. This book of course has lots more information about this topic.
