Private Websites

Think about this:

  • If you set up a site and charge $29.95 a month and had 200 subscribers, you would earn approx. $6,000 a MONTH! every month. They gave you their credit card to hit each month for the fee.
  • If you charged $15 and had those same 200 subscribers you would earn $3,000 a month.

Sounds good to me.

Does anyone know of any topics that might make a good private site?

Does anyone know how to search to see what the hot topics are for people making a lot of money on private sites?

Does anyone even know where we go to search for those sites?

I have a video from Internet Marketing?? or whatever was the name of that seminar that we all met at. And one of the interviews was with a young man who was charging $70 for a private site and all it did was talk about how to win at the Maddon football computer game.

He said he was charging like 35 or so dollar or ???? dollars, went to a marketing lecture and during the break he took the advice of the speaker and went upstairs in to his room in the conference hotel and raised his price to $70 and still kept getting the same number of people signing up for the service. So he said he intended to keep raising the price until his signups starting getting lower.

Maddon Football!!!! Who plays that and can afford $70 a month? Are people addicted to computer games??

This was a lesson in raising prices?

How interesting that you commented on the very same topic that my CopyWriter and I are discussing regarding the next phase of my web site with the subdomain of MY Virtual Art Room: a MEMBERSHIP Site. My plans are to charge $39.97 a month with a reduced price for paying for the whole year.

It is of interest to me to find the programs out there offering membership site software that allows you to rotate the information that members have access to. This would prevent someone from downloading everything on your site for the cost of a one month membership.

The topics you mentioned...where would we go to find topics of interest? Where would we research just such topics? Do you know the answers or will we research that together? That would certainly be a place to start in our mini site development and a direction that we could move toward.
Sandy,Thanks for the food for thought!
