Day Three How to dominate your niche

Be the “big fish in a small pond” Be seen as the expert in a tightly defined niche “Selective fame” Positioning and profile building tools – stage presentation, book

It’s not for everyone!

Why would you want it? Possibility of big income Builds a saleable asset Recognition in your area Opens bigger opportunities Get to hang out with other people at the top of their game

What’s the downside? Not as passive No longer “under the radar” (attract detractors and regulators) Risk that you’ll build the business around YOU “Can” require staff and other resources (higher overheads)

Session #1 Membership sites

What is a membership site? Subscription site, continuity program Only make the sale once and continue to get paid every month. Build a relationship so you become a trusted advisor. Can continue to upsell other products based on the relationship.

We have a really unique membership site system

It’s quicker, easier and cheaper than any other membership site system we’ve seen

Problems with most membership sites Can take 6 months or more to set up before you make any money. Members stay an average of only 2-3 months, so you need to spend much more time marketing. Most membership site software is designed by and for people with a US company and bank account. Can be expensive to set up, depending on the software you use.

Benefits of our system Can be up and running and making money in as little as 3 days. Members stay an average of 12 months or more, so you need to spend much less time marketing in the long term. Our sites use a range of payment options that work in Australia. Costs very little to set up, as we don’t use expensive proprietary software.

How much do membership sites make?

Our target for each membership site is to have 1,000 members paying $49 per month within 12 months ($588,000 per year)

Guided tour

Here’s what you get: Access to a community of like-minded internet marketers. Access to faculty members who are all “on the same page” when it comes to internet marketing. One-stop-shop of expertise, covering everything you need to have a successful internet business. Structured program to keep you on track and accountable. Resource library. Websites built for you.

Here’s who it’s for: It’s not for everyone. For people who are serious about making serious money online (and have fun doing it!). For people who SEE the internet as a business, not a hobby (doesn’t mean you have to work full time at it!). For people with a can-do, successful attitude, and who are fun to be around. For people who want to hang out with like-minded, successful people, and who are willing to share their ideas. For people who take 100% responsibility for their own success.

Here’s who it’s NOT for: Chicken littles! People who are looking for a “magic bullet”. People who don’t take responsibility for their own success. People who are unwilling to contribute to the group. People who are rude or demanding.

How it works: You get full access to the program for 12 months No trial period Price of membership covers two people Do not share your password access with non-members

Pricing: 12 months access is $9,900. Can pay it off monthly if you want ($825 a month).
