Dear Folks,

in my last article I told You about an easy way to find a membership site software. And how easy it could be to install it.

Now I’m shouting that “Traditional membership sites are out!”. Why?
Let me try to explain this a little bit:

I) Traditional membership sites have built-in pressures to create content.
It is so easy to burn out by running your own membership site.
You think going in that you’ll never run out of ideas to write about. As one of the most creative and prolific writers you’ll ever run across, let me tell you that I myself face this problem. Almost everyone does.
And, even if you are supernatural and can continue coming up with new ideas for years and years, the demands of updating your site 3-5 times per week with new content requires discipline that most of us just don’t possess.

II) Traditional membership sites demand a large investment of time.
You have a forum to moderate, cancellations to process, content to add, technical problems to troubleshoot, password problems to fix, and a variety of other tasks that usually get left out of the “salesletter” for a product or service trying to convince you to start a membership site.
The truth is, a traditional membership site requires a large investment of time. Now, if this is the ONLY part of your business you’ll have, you might pull it off.
But, believe me, it will leave the average person with virtually no time to do list-building, traffic generation and develop other products.

III) Traditional membership sites include a continual battle to keep subscribers.
Here’s a figure most people don’t tell you about: the “average” subscriber will stay active for 3-4 months and then they’ll cancel.
What, you thought they’d join and stay with you forever? It simply doesn’t happen that way. With more and more membership sites being launched, this figure is probably going to get worse.
People simply don’t have the time nor money to remain active members in many different programs. Factor in indifference, a lack of effort, poor results and a neverending amount of other enticing offers and you’ll be lucky to get them to stay 3-4 months.

But there is a way to handle all these problems:
the Answer is called “Fixed-Term Membership”.
