If you want to learn about PLR (Private Label Rights) Membership Sites, then read this article all the way to the end. Specifically, I will cover why you should join a Private Label Rights Membership Site, if you are considering becoming an Internet Marketer. You will gain knowledge of where some Membership Sites go wrong and what a good Membership Site should have that makes it the one for you. If you put this information to use, you should feel more at ease when choosing a good Membership Site to join.
Here are three points why joining a Private Label Rights Membership site is vital to your Internet Marketing Journey.
• You need products to sell.
• You can gain inspiration from these Private Label Rights products to create new and unique products.
• You can become skilled at Internet Marketing from experienced Marketers with an easy to follow approach.
Private Label Rights is the easiest way to start Internet Marketing. It is a “learn while you earn” type of business. Private Label Rights Membership Sites offer PLR products in all kind of niches.
However, not all PLR Membership Sites have quality products and some have limited resources that relate to setting up a blog or website to market your products.
Essentials that a good Private Label Rights Membership Site should have:
• High quality, current Private Label Rights products.
• Instructions on how to use the Private Label Rights products.
• Website related Tools that are both useful and functional in building your website or blog.
• Tutorials that cover relevant subjects on Internet Marketing.
• Support that is able to answer all incoming questions within 24 hours.
• Ethics of the Membership Site Owner.
There is a lot that can be improved in Private Label Rights Membership Sites. The writer has found that in most cases, these essentials are lacking in most of the “self acclaimed” Top Private Label Rights Membership Sites.
• Products that date back to 1995 do not make a good impression on any Internet newbie. Unless the information is up to date, the product is useless.
• Products are often packaged with no useful information that helps the user understand the power of the product and are loaded with advertising of affiliate products.
• No Tools - having a product with no tools is almost as useful as a bowl of soup with no spoon. You need to be able to put it all together without excessive further expense.
• Video tutorials as well as reports and other relative information on how to coordinate your website and market your product.
• Support is at the heart of the membership. Without it, you have nothing more than a membership full of lost sheep. Waiting for support to get back to you for over a week, if they get back to you at all, is not acceptable. If support supplies an answer, you want it to be about a fresh issue you have raised, not something that you gave up on and have moved on.
Gaining a higher trust from the membership is essential. However, it seems that there is a generation of Private Label Rights Membership sites that are only interested in one thing and that is to get your name and email address in order to build a list and then try to get you to buy every product that has ever been invented.
In a recent survey which I asked the question - “What do you think Membership Sites need to offer?” - some of the more valid responses relating to the question have been listed below with my response:
1. Good, honest, truthful help, to help me understand the marketing process better as well as SEO tactics. Also, would like to have someone there that would really take the time to help.
My Response: Ethic’s is something that many Internet Marketers lose sight of. It seems that they trade off their ethics for the cash. When setting up a Free Membership, it is important to remember that you give more than you get. Even though you are making a living from your Membership site, it is important to do business with a high moral code and standard.
The biggest misuse on the Internet is of the word “secrets”- this word is used too freely when marketing Reports or eBooks. It is luring the reader to believe that they will gain some “secret” that only the author knows, when in fact it is nothing more than a statement that has got the reader intrigued and the only way to satisfy the intrigue is to pay for the information.
SEO is a very relevant issue - probably not a subject that I would consider in line with the Membership issue - and to try and cover it here would be a long journey for both you as the reader and me as the writer. Collectively, you would need to take all of the ebooks written on the subject, you would say that they each have valid and good points, but you need to digest them all before you can put together the whole picture. By digesting valid points from each eBook that the writer has read on the subject bringing each point into practice and validating what does work.
The writer was able to demonstrate this, by putting theory into practice and all of the “tips and secrets” learned. On May 14th the writer took one of her websites which had an Alexa Ranking of 5,584,593 and a Google Page Rank of -0/10, she applied the newly learned knowledge of SEO from the stacks of ebooks that she had read, and within two months she managed to cause the website’s Alexa Ranking to be less than 500,000 and also bring the Google Page Rank to 2/10. According to what is written in most SEO ebooks, this would be impossible to do. But nevertheless she did it. How? By reading the many ebooks and gleaning information from all of them.
2. Membership sites should stay on track and not chop and change re their initially stated reason for being set up in the first instance.
My Response: 100% Correct – Membership Sites should always be focused on the subject of their Members’ initial reason for joining.
3. I think it would be a great place where one could turn to and discuss topics that others have come across, so everyone could be helpful to everyone else. After all, we were put here to serve and this would be one way to give back.
My Response: This is a comment the writer is in full agreement with. Forums are great membership sites and that is what they are all about - somewhere for people to talk to other people about the subject that they are both interested in.
4. Not be badgered about upgrading. Small steps to gain full access. Something usable that I can implement and make a few bucks from rather than just storing it on my hard-drive.
My Response: Yes, by small steps, the membership site should be one that allows its members to explore first and have available any further offers as the member feels they need. One of the most annoying things encountered on most membership sites, are the One Time Offers. Site owners Give Away a Free Membership, and then offer an Upgrade once you are in. While the practice of Free Membership is not a bad thing, the One Time Offer should be just that. An offer made “one time”. But what is in theory a good thing, in practice becomes something else entirely. Most membership sites dish up the same one time offer every time you log in, and that does not promote a feeling of honesty or ethics on the part of the site owner. This practice should be avoided. Make the offer and then leave it to the individual to make the decision if they need it later. Have the product available on the inside of the membership; however not at the “reduced price” it was initially offered during the OTO.
5. Lots of free gifts and giveaways, everyday of the week.
My Response: Free giveaways are always nice. There are several issues that arise within this “request”- the first being that you can only give away products that have a license to give away. A number of products don’t allow you to “Give” them away, therefore you need to remember that the license is an extremely important factor in what you can give or must sell to your members.
The writer has taken part in several Giveaways to help “build the list”. The one thing that was noticed with the people who were happy to receive the very valuable giveaway item(s), was that these “Freebie Seekers” are just that. They want everything for free, but are unwilling to even open an email that is sent to them afterwards. Conclusion: The quality of that list is zero.
Conclusion: Private Label Rights Membership Sites should be totally focused on their members. Make available the tools and tutorials that help the members to become responsible, ethical and skilled marketers, and set an example by being ethical in their marketing practices themselves.
