There are a lot of people online who make a great deal of money just by running membership sites. You come up with an idea, form a club and then sell the members of that club products to do with that idea.
However for some people it is a challenge to think of what kind idea would best work for you and at the same time, be in demand by people looking for a products and kinship online. For instance, very few people shop for the kind of thing they can find in a drug store, unless it is about a niche aspect of the product – like exotic perfumes that are not easy to obtain. They can buy the latest Justin Bieber scent in any drug store but they can’t necessarily buy a scent by Demeter or Annick Goutal.
If you are short inspiration as to what kind of business deserves the trouble of creating a membership site then there are a lot of places you can go to online that can provide you with some inspiration. One good place to cruise is Facebook. There are all sorts of special interest groups on there that might benefit from the selling of special interest products. You can also find groups like this on Pinterest.
Another good site to find inspiration in happens is Yahoo Answers. When you see a lot of people posing the same question about the same thing again and again then you have probably found a good topic around which to build a membership site. Membership sites make money by charging a membership and or selling members products and also by selling them value information that answers questions.
It is also a good idea to surf eBay and Amazon.com. What are the absolute top sellers at either site.
Another great place to find ideas for businesses is at Clickbank.com. Look to see what the number one best selling products are there and then try to build a site around that. Make sure that the products that appeal to you and that you believe in are selling well on this site and making a great deal of money. Clickbank is a gold-mine of education and inspiration if you study the cleverly written landing pages on the number one selling products. This can tell you what is selling best in the digital information age and from that point on you can go on to create a site that is essentially a club devoted to people who have an interest in buying these products.
