The Ultimate Guide to Making Money with Membership Sites

  A membership site can be as simple as an email list that receives content, a web portal that houses information on your topic or even a full-blown private website along with a forum where members can interact with one another. A membership site’s most attractive feature – recurring monthly income.   Members pay a monthly fee to become a part of a community, get value-driven content and learn more about the niche you have created your site in. Who is this ideal for: If you are the type of a person who likes talking to people, loved getting people involved in activities and like guiding them, then this may be ideal for you.   What skills will you need: There are two significant skills you will need. The first is knowledge about your subject at hand.   Sure, you can have general knowledge, but keep in mind that people won’t keep paying you a monthly fee if all you ever give them is general information that can be found elsewhere. This is where the secon...

How to Maximize Your Profits on Kindle Direct Publishing

Niche Websites That Make Money: Unlocking the Potential of Your Business

  They say that you can go wide or you can go deep. The problem with going wide is that you are trying to focus on too many different things and hoping that the right people find you. When you go deep, you are really niche-ing it out. Just as the name implies, a niche is a particular area. Instead of a broad general topic, you would be choosing one specific topic and focusing your website around that. A niche website can be a few pages or can even be several hundred pages. An example of a niche website would be “Beginners Tennis For Elementary Age Children.”   Instead of focusing on Tennis, you are focusing specifically on children who are beginners. Who is this ideal for: This is ideal for an individual who has a very specific interest in a very broad area.   Just as in our example above, if someone enjoys tennis, but would rather focus on teaching beginners or even kids who are beginners, then a niche would work out well. This is also ideal if you enjoy speaki...

Businesses prefer buying stock photos over hiring a photographer and creating custom made photographs as they're cheap comparatively. For example, if a furniture company needs a photo of a happy family having dinner together, hiring a photographer, creating the whole setup that includes food, models, lighting, etc. would be comparatively expensive for them than just buying a stock photo. Prices of stock photos range from a few cents to a few dollars.  Some stock websites offer packages that allow buyers to purchase multiple photos at a discounted rate. As a stock photographer, you can click and upload your photographs on stock photo websites and earn commissions on your photographs' sale. H...
