Everyone has an interest, hobby or has knowledge about a particular subject. It could be anything, and I
29、really mean anything! Everyone has knowledge that someone else wants. The problem is that most people have no idea how much their knowledge is worth because information online is worth much more today. BThe internet has become a force to be reckoned with. This monster of mass consumerism is ever inc
30、reasing and does not seem to be slowing down. U. S. consumers spent $748 million on online content during the first half of 2003, representing a 23 percent increase over the same period in 2002. With the rate that the internet is growing, just imagine what the figures look like today. CLast year, Ju
31、piter Research forecast that paid-content web revenues will grow four-fold by 2006, from $1.4 billion to $5. 8 billion. The crazy thing is many people are only just waking up to this reality. Gone are the days when all websites offer their data free of charge, now the hottest information is reserved
32、 for those who pay! DSo if you have a hobby or interest you are the perfect candidate and I have two words for you subscription website. So what exactly is a subscription website? Well, it is a site that charges members a fee to enter the site and view the specialist content. And what do they all ha
33、ve in common? They are bringing in a steady, recurring cash flow for their owners, month after month, from a few hundred to tens of thousands of dollars with an endless array of topics. Having a successful paid membership site is one of the best ways to make money online. A thriving subscription sit
34、e can give you the steady income of a chief executive but without the work or stress levels! EFor example if you had just 200 people paying you just $20 a month, you would have a steady cash flow of $4000/month, month after month, rain or shine. Many people achieve this in the first month or two tha
35、t their site is up and running. However, thats just the tip of the iceberg. Many people have member only websites that produce 5-10 times that amount of money! Choose the right topic and this could happen in your first 2-3 months. Lets be honest, a steady cash flow is the key to financial security w
36、hich is why the website is so superior to any other form of online product. FA subscription website is a combination of doing what you enjoy and sharing that knowledge with those who will truly appreciate it. The best subscription websites are run by those who have a passion for the subject matter t
37、hey are supplying. This is the most critical decision youll have to make. Choose the right topic and youll have people rushing to give you money to enter your site, you will have no problem up-dating the site with new information, and in turn the site will remain fresh and exciting. Find a topic tha
38、t you are passionate about, and the odds are that enough other people are also passionate about the topic to make it a successful membership site. Since you are going to be spending time and effort building and maintaining your membership site, doesnt it make sense to choose a topic that you enjoy?
39、GBut why would people want to pay for information when you can find pretty much anything at all on the net without any cost at all? Its simple, the search for the info you require can be long and tedious. People are really paying for convenience. They want up to date information and they want it now
40、. They also want the information to be comprehensive and original. They want to know that they can come to the site and that a particular topic will be covered thoroughly. They will genuinely learn more about the topic they have an interest in. So why havent more sites jumped onto the paid-content b
41、andwagon? A big reason has been the popular misconception that consumers wont pay for content on the web. And where did this erroneous concept originate? From badly conducted research studies done by marketers and the media in recent years, practically all of these surveys asked people who currently
42、 receive information and services on the web for free if they would pay for these services. Naturally, they gave the same response that anyone with any sense would give, which is: “I dont want to pay for something that I currently get for free.“ HThe market is ripe and ready for those who catch on t
43、o this momentous idea. Exceptionally high perceived value is the ultimate key. The paid online content offered must be so useful that users will be thrilled to gain access to it, will say “Wow!“ When they do, and will experience instant value for money the very first time that they use it. IThe best
44、 part is still to come! A subscription website can be run from home and once set up it pretty much runs itself. Software is available to run almost every element of your site automatically and membership software programs can reduce your workload by 75% that can only be good news! This funnel shows
45、how the reader goes from browsing free content to being a paid subscriber. When a prospect enters a websites funnel of free content, they discover that to reach the most valuable content, they must cross the barrier to becoming a paid member. Topic ideas for a Subscription Website: Newsletter Topics
46、 JIf you already publish a successful newsletter, you are most likely a perfect candidate for a Membership Website. Placing your newsletter content, archives, and resources online in a “subscribers only“ website usually enhances the perceived value of your print newsletter to both current and potent
47、ial subscribers. Career Advancement KPerhaps the most frequent topic for successful subscription websites is career development.

48、rt-up, financial services opening up a huge range of business opportunities.
