If You are Technologically Challenged...

...you may like this nifty resource. If you do not know how to create your own website properly, and by that, I mean optimized for the search engines, as well as good sales copy, back end sales, etc., then you need to look elsewhere for your own website. But where would you go? You could get one of those sites that are "free", but cost $997 to set up through someone's affiliate account....yeah, how free is that?

Building a website can be complicated if you do not know what you are doing. And most people do not....want a secret? You can be lazy and still look professional to your potential customers. How? For full details, click here.

If you want your own product, then it may take a bit more work, but it is doable. For example, building a membership site. Why a membership site? You can get paid over and over again for the same work it would take to get one customer. It's residual income. You could potentially make thousands of dollars per month with just a few hundred subscribers. The key, of course, is to provide fresh content monthly, or you will lose subscribers.

If you are ready to set up a membership site, be prepared to pay hefty fees just for the set up. Especially if you are not proficient at these things. You will need to pay a programmer to build the site properly…a graphic artist to design your logo…a credit card processing service so you can process payments flawlessly…it could add up to a lot of your hard earned money, and frankly, I don’t think you have it. Unless I am wrong, I don’t think you can afford to lose thousands of dollars just to set up a fully loaded membership site with all the bells and whistles. Only the big companies can…

Instead, why not save your money and sign up for a pre-built site at Build Me This? You can choose from several pre-built sites, and request a custom made site at a fraction of what it could cost you otherwise. Once you have the site, you can quite easily build up content on a subject that you are passionately interested in or are an expert on.

The uniqueness of membership sites comes from the “Golden Cord” philosophy. For someone to be a member of one of these sites, they are able to obtain information and products that they may not be able to obtain elsewhere. It makes them one of the 'elite' and part of a 'family' of like-minded people, and are part of the “Golden Cord” club.

Owning a membership site can be really rewarding, if you set it up properly and drive tons of traffic to your site. You get to talk about what is important to you; you can almost set this up on autopilot; and you could potentially live off of work you did three years ago today! So what are you waiting for? Get going!
