and Resell Rights

Additionally, as with a normal catalog site, you will need to purchase hosting and a domain name. In the long run, you are far better off creating a branded, rather than a generic site. Consider that when selecting your domain name.

We purchase our domain names from GoDaddy.com - which is an OK service, but with way too many offers of various goods and services.

For web hosting, we use WebMasters - excellent service and the incredibly good control panel. After changing several web hosting providers over the years, we're lucky to have come across this one.

Last, you will need to select a merchant account to process payments to your membership site. I would personally suggest that you use either Paypal or Clickbank for this purpose. Both of these systems allow you to setup recurring payments, which will make life considerably easier when administrating a membership site.

3.2 The Pros

Once you have built up a considerably large collection of digital products, you can then consider starting a membership site, rather than selling each digital product piecemeal or in a group as part of a bundle. There are a number of major advantages to this method.

Note that you will need to have the proper rights to all of your products in order to use them in such a membership site. Most likely, you will need some type of unlimited resell or give-away rights. Resell rights are ideal, as they limit the transmission of the product, keeping its value high.

Additionally, it is important to determine if there are any other issues involved with using your collection of products for a membership site. In most cases, the answer will be no; in cases where the answer is somewhat dubious, simply dont' bother to proceed. Use your other products instead. Sparing yourself a lawsuit will be will worth whatever potential gains you gave up.

Once you have created your membership site and have started filtering items into your database, you will enjoy considerable benefits.

All you will have to do in order to continually generate revenue is to add several products (which you already own of course) to the pre-existing membership database each month, prompting current members to continue to renew – or at least to feel placated enough to avoid cutting the subscription.

Another one of the pros of having a massive archive of resell rights products is that you break them apart and use sections to entice and build up your mailing list. You can then cultivate non-paying mailing list members into paying membership site members.

The key to all of this, of course, is building your archive of niche digital products with resell and master rights.
