Issue #3: What Kind Of Membership Sites Work?

Dear <firstname> ,

Today we will explore the three most 
common models of membership sites
and from here, you'll probably have a 
good idea of what membership site you
should set up.

Free membership sites require no fee of 
any type from the end user. Sites of this 
type usually generate income either by 
subscribers clicking on ads for goods and 
services, or by the members or subscribers
 purchasing electronic or physical products 
from a store operated on the site.

Fee-based/paid membership sites charge 
some type of fee in exchange for membership. 
The charge may be a one time fee to join, or 
be an ongoing monthly charge for as long as
the membership is in force. In this scenario, the
site owner earns revenue from the sign-up fees 
as well as from the products sold on the site. 

It is not  unusual for a membership site to create
a hybrid membership site using both these scenarios.
How it works could be something like this:

A free limited membership offers access to anyone
who signs up as a free member. Basic privileges 
are extended. However, by paying a fee, the member
can upgrade the membership to gain access to a 
number of additional services that are considered 
value for the money invested.

With these thoughts in mind, let’s move on to what 
you need to know about setting up your site.
