Hi there.
It’s Kit Elliott with SuperAffiliate.com. First, I hope your Memorial Day is going well. I scheduled this ahead of time so I could be outdoors spending it with my family. I had a lot of emails about last week’s post titled, “Turn Your Wordpress Blog into a Membership Site“, and several of you have picked up the Wordpress Plugin called DAP.
Click Here to Download DAP Wordpress Membership Plugin.
I also received this email for membership sites from Jimmy Brown. Jimmy is an expert at coming up with ideas for your membership site. He’ll even train you every month on how to create content for your membership site. His 12 month program is called Membernaire.
Once you find an idea for your membership site, there’s a specific process you can follow to get it launched.
Fortunately, there’s also a simple process that you can follow to get ideas for your membership site. If you’re unsure how to begin and are stuck for ideas, try out these tips. Your next membership site may not be that far away.
1. PERSONAL.
Begin by brainstorming your own life. Get personal! Creating your membership site is going to be much easier if you know a little bit about the market. That’s why it’s a great idea to start your ideas list with hobbies, interests and activities from your own life.
Write down everything that you and your family members are passionate about or interested in. This list could be a goldmine for your membership site.
2. PRODUCTS.
Ebook and video course creators have done a lot of niche market research in order to create their products. You can piggyback on this research specifically by keeping an eye on “product launches”.
For example, if you see a lot of products being produced on article marketing you can safely assume that a membership site on the same topic would do well. Subscribe to email lists in your potential market to watch for product launches and get ideas for your site.
3. PERUSE.
Persuse means “to examine in detail”. It also begins with “p” so it fits my outline. 
If you want a comprehensive list of existing electronic products that are selling well, Clickbank.com/marketplace is the place to go.
Search through the marketplace to find out what topics your market is interested in learning about. You’ll be able to find new market ideas, content to fill your site as well as affiliate offers to create some backend sales.
4. POPULARITY.
Visit Amazon.com’s best-seller list. Amazon is the top bookseller online so it makes sense to search their marketplace for membership site ideas. The bestseller lists in various categories will help you see what topics are popular. You can easily gather membership site ideas from these lists.
Hint: Go with the topics that are popular.
5. PULSE.
Forums are the pulse of your market. You can be sure that a market has members that would be willing to pay if there is an active forum dedicated to that topic. Track down some popular forums in your potential market and spend some time browsing through the topics.
See what the market is talking about. Pay close attention to the FAQs section and the threads that have a lot of activity. These are indicators of the kinds of topics which might serve as a topic for your next membership site.
6. PERIODICALS.
You gotta go to Magazines.com! This website is full of membership site ideas. If a market has a buying audience, there is probably a magazine out there dedicated to it. Magazines don’t get started without advertising dollars to back them up. If advertisers are paying to get to a market, it’s a safe bet that you can create a membership site for the same market. On Magazines.com you can search by category to find membership site ideas. I love this place!
7. PROBLEMS.
The final stop I want to mention is Yahoo groups. These free e-mail discussion lists cover a wide variety of topics. Subscribe to a few groups in your potential market to look for ideas. The benefit of using groups like these is that you’ll often be able to see problems in the market that aren’t currently being met by other products.
By going through these simple outlets you are sure to find a great idea for your next membership site.
BUT…
If you’d like a major shortcut, grab a membership at http://www.Membernaire.com. Once you join, I’ll send you a confidential report with my own “top 20″ specific ideas (with detailed explanations of each!) for hot membership site topics.
I’ve done all the research for you! Plus, I’ll show you how to setup a membership site in as little as 48 hours.

The MAY affiliate review sites have now been uploaded to your member’s area!
The topics for May are:
- Quit Smoking
- Website Flipping
If you have not signed up for Anthony Hull’s Review Site Templates, then, I would go ahead and sign up here: High Quality Review Site Templates.
Every month, you get two red hot, in demand review site templates that you can plug right in with your affiliate links and shortcut the whole process. I believe these sites are going for $13 each.
WOW! $13 – You can’t get professional designed website templates for $13 anything.. And if you follow this simple three step formula, you might see a commission when you wake up tomorrow.
Step 1: Do a simple keyword search. (notice I said search not research :0)) The rule of thumb is this.. You find one keyword that gets 1500+ searches per month, and you type that keyword phrase into Google and if there is less than 10,000 competing sites, you have a winner.
Step 2: Register that keyword as the domain name. Upload these templates to your domain name and plug your affiliate links in them.
Step 3: Get Page One of Google. How? Simple..
- Create a press release for free and make sure you link to your new domain name.
- Create an article for free and make sure you link to your new domain name.
- Create a docstoc for free and make sure you link to your new domain name.
- Bookmark, Submit to Directories, and Ping each of three URLs above.
That’s it. You do this 3 step process everyday and you will see a commission within 24 to 48 hours! I can’t guarantee that, but it works for me over and over and over again.
Also, if you want the unfair advantage. You can use Senuke to spin articles, submit articles, submit to directories and all the bookmarking places.
The service is called SENuke, and you can try it out for free for 7 days. I get credit for any signups so try it out for 7 days, and if it works for you like it does for me – then you’ll stick with it. If you don’t like it, you didn’t lose any money.
The key here is to build your commissions up to the point where you can hire a SEO company to do your SENUKE submissions. You can find them at RentaCoder for $10 per day.
To Your Success,
Kit Elliott
Hi there.
It’s Kit again with another crazy week for online profits. I hope you are jumping in full force and living the life you deserve. You know I always come up with, create or invent new ways, new plugins, new services, new products – and a couple of years later – they actually get made and someone else profits from these ideas.. Does that happen to you? You know.. it doesn’t have to be like this!

For example – when I first bought a cell phone back in the 1990’s, I said – I want to see internet on the whole screen.. I want to view my website on one screen and be able to zoom in.. twist it around.. and get the full picture!
This was unheard of, and definitely, very expensive to create.
Fast forward to today, every phone has this feature now (and it has turned into a billion dollar idea!) My idea…
In the 1990’s, I said – you know what would be better than Blockbuster..
How about you put a “vending machine” where people just swipe their cc or insert money – choose movie – and it comes out just like a Diet Coke?
Fast forward to today, RED BOX is set to profit hundreds of millions of dollars with their vending machine movie rental.. My idea..
So – I was thinking -
NEW IDEA: Wouldn’t it be nice to create some sort of training program.. where the content is delivered over a time period.. but no matter when someone joined – they would get that content in the order that everyone received it in.
Like time-released content.. this would be perfect for coaching, affiliate training, fitness, diet, exercise programs, etc..
That way – you create one membership site.. you charge a monthly fee or a one time big payment, and the material/content is dripped on customers as they enter the system..
That system is EASY to create thanks to a new Wordpress plugin.. which I just purchased my unlimited site license.. to use on ANY and ALL Wordpress blogs.
YES – WORDPRESS!
You can turn your Wordpress into a membership site! I’ve thought about doing that for Super Affiliate, and I probably will in the future.
Are you ready for this?
It’s called Digital Access Pass.. You may have seen Wishlist, but who wants to manually add people when they upgrade to different levels? I want it completely automated.. I want to be able to create a post or a page – set the access level – and publish out. DONE DEAL!

If you look at enough websites, and this may be the case for yours as well, you’ll find the home page tends to be show pieces given little attention since the original design. Yet, for most websites, the home page is what gets a majority of the site’s traffic.
Arriving at your site either from an organic listing or a pay-per click ad, will prospects immediately recognize your expertise? Will they Continued Reading »
SuperAffiliate.com has been hit with a “malware” and after a couple of cleanups – I wanted to document how to fix malware on Wordpress in case this happens to you.
Here are the steps that I took (thanks to Hostgator’s help!)
FIRST – I replaced all my old Wordpress files with brand new 2010’s files! That actually did 1/2 the trick. The other half -
