These techniques will work with any website and not only for membership sites!
In this report I will show you how you can get all content for your membership site for free. Please don’t take my ideas lightly. They realy works and I use them myself for my websites.
If your membership site is based on a topic that you like and you are an expert in then you can create a lot of content yourself. All you have to do is to write an article around membership site topic. It does not have to be long article. It is enough to write just short article with 200-350 words and that is it. If you add two 200-350 words articles each week you will do it just well with your membership site. To write good article it should not take you more than twenty minutes per article.
That is one way to get free content for your website for free.
Other ways to get a lot content for free:
Publish Other People Content
Visit www.ezinearticles.com directory and search for articles in your niche. You will find a lo of articles that don’t worth a penny, but you will also find some great articles that are perfect to use on your membership site.
TIP: Don’t listen to others and be afraid to use articles that are already online. Your members don’t want you to search through all those content online to weed out the garbage. They want somebody else to do that for them. They will be happy that they don’t have to do that and have somebody to pick out the best information for them. If information in the article are good they don’t care where you found it.
When you find some good articles you want to use on your membership site, send an email to the author of the article and politely ask them if you can put their article onto your membership site.
Also ask them if they have additional articles in the same niche.
Many of them will be happy that you will use their article on your membership site and many of them will supply you with more articles.
Contact at least 10-20 authors or more and you will have more great articles for your site that you can use.
Of course you have to live their resource box on the end of the article. And don’t worry about your members if you use other people content. They don’t care about! All what is mater for them is good content. My friend running a site in dating niche and he use almost all content from article directories.
Use Other People Videos
Videos can add great value to your membership site and your members will highly appreciate them. You can add great many of great videos to your membership site without ever create any of them.
Here is my strategy:
I am sure that you already heard for Youtube. You can always use videos that are on youtube but this is not what I suggest you. What I suggest you is to visit site at http://video.google.com and search for content you want for your niche. Google will return result from many different video sites. What are you looking for are videos that are hosted on Google. When you find videos you like just send the video author an email and ask them for permission to put that video on your website. They will give you permission to use their video on your website because they know that you can easy embed the video anyway with code your get from Google.
After you have their permission download whole video to your computer and don’t use embed code.
Right click and download video. It will save as ipod video, but it is an Mpeg4 format.
Now go search on Google for an MP4 to Flash converter (it is free). Now you can convert video to a flash and put it into your member download area. Video is now part of your membership site and it is not hosted on free site. It will have much higher value to your members then if you leave videos where they are and use embed code.
Here you have two of mine strategies on how to get content for your membership site for free. I will add more of them soon and you ill get an email from me when it will be done.
I think that these two tips I just gave to you are great to start with and when you earn some money you can buy high quality content.
Writing Your Own Articles
Article writing can be a powerful and free tool for an Internet Marketer. I love them because they provide so many different possibilities. Writing articles is a wonderful way for people new to making money online to make money online. I’ve been in Internet Marketing for a long time and I still write a lot of articles for my websites and benefit greatly from them.
Generating Ideas
If you want to write on your own, you’re going to have to come up with ideas of your own. One thing that I do is I take a little book with me, wherever I go, which I can write in.
I write down any ideas I get. Think about all of the boring moments that we’re in. Waiting in line, waiting rooms, driving etc. I like to think about ideas to write about.
I have this philosophy about writing. If you have ideas you can write and you never get writer’s block. It’s as simple as that. I think that people try and make writing more complex than it has to do.
Think of ideas of write. If you haven’t got any ideas go to forums and you should be able to get ideas. I don’t claim to be a genius, but I never have a lack of things to write about.
My problem is that there is only so much time in a day. I have more ideas than I can write about, all of the time. It’s because I practice what I preach and I’m always thinking about new things to write about.
Think about your niche market. I don’t care what it is. Think about the problems that people are facing in this niche market. Come up with ways to solve these problems. Again, it isn’t rocket science, don’t make it any harder or more complex than it has to be. That is when people aren’t successful, they try and make things too complex, instead of going with what works.
Don’t try and out think yourself. Find what works for you and put more work into it. Don’t go around chasing the so-called next best thing. Focus on building your reputation, writing quality articles and your online business.
Get in a Good Writing Rhythm
The big thing that you need to do is cut out distractions. This is absolutely vital. You can’t be getting interrupted all of the time. That makes it about impossible.
Get as many errands done as you possibly can at one time. Get a schedule for the whole week in place.
I write down every single idea I get. It doesn’t matter if I plan on writing about it right away. It’s there for future reference. I have had ideas for products that I didn’t start writing about for a couple of months, but I had something to write about when those couple months were up.
I can usually get into a good writing rhythm so quickly because I’ve always got ideas written down to write about. I don’t just write down the idea, I expand on it right away when I think of it.
Find problems to solve. It’s really that simple. People are looking to solve a problem and as we all know, we all have several of them at any given time. The Internet is a huge place it’s a place where you can reach out to millions and millions of people with millions and millions of problems.
People are looking ways to solve social problems. How do I pick up a girl? Once a person has that girl, they are going to want to know what to get her for gifts. They are going to want to know what special things they can do to keep them happy. They are gong to want to know how to make a great first impression on her parents etc. etc. etc.
You see how one thing can be broken down into almost a an endless amount of things to write about. Think about how many different things you could write about in the relationships niche, self-improvement niche, make money etc.
I don’t really feel sorry for people who can’t think of ideas for article writing. They are all over the place. Even if you can’t think of something to write about, there are people that hire people to write about certain things.
You can go to websites where there are people on them that hire freelance article writers.
Internet Marketers Should Write More Effectively
Think about how much an Internet Marketer writes. Writing products, writing content, writing articles, writing blog posts, writing e-mails etc. It’s a lot of writing!
What can you do about this? You can outsource some of it, but it’s gets awful expensive to be doing that, a lot of Internet marketers can’t afford to do that. There is still some things that you can do.
One thing that you have to do is just get your writing down. Don’t try and be perfect. You don’t have to read all the e-mails you send out for grammar mistakes etc. Most people don’t care about grammar in e-mails, unless it’s this big business proposal or something like that.
The writing that you aren’t good at is the writing you should look at outsourcing. Let’s face it, there are different types of writing and different styles.
I would say that most Internet Marketers aren’t great copywriters. I’m a pretty good copywriter, but my problem is that it takes me so long to write decent sales copy.
Another thing that I can’t figure out, for the life of me, is why on earth don’t people use PLR content? Don’t give me the excuse that you can’t find any good PLR content.
Join PLR membership sites and cherry pick them and find good content. Go to www.warriorforum.com and go to the Warrior Special Offer forum. There are always good PLR content on there.
You can turn around and sell the product, use it for articles, use it for content or blog posts, use it as an auto-responder sequence etc. You want to maybe change it or modify it, but that doesn’t take that long.
Rewrite PLR Articles And Ebooks
Here is another idea for those of you who are working online for some time. I’m sure that you have a lot of PLR content lying on your hard drive. Use that content! You can use is like it is or take some time and rewrite it
That is all for now. In no time you will have more than enough content to updating your membership site for months to come if not for years.
Sincerely,
D.Marze
