Being the best means taking cues from the best. When it comes to membership sites, the best include such big shots

as Monster.com, classmates.com, YouTube, MySpace and more. Here are 5 secrets of the big boys and how you can

use them to launch your membership site.

1. Successful membership sites have a specific niche with a demand for their products and information. Think about

classmates.com. What a fantastic niche! Imagine fitting the need of millions of people that want to connect to their old

classmates, or are simply curious to see what everybody is up to. What is your niche? Even if it isn't a niche that will

reach millions, the tighter your niche, the more money there is to be made.

2. Successful membership sites know the value of maximizing their revenue by offering multiple revenue streams

including:

· Affiliate Programs

· Advertising

· Information products

Monster.com is a website that makes fantastic use of their market's needs by offering relocation services, job

counseling, resume and cover letter services, education tools, and even money management tools. They also make

money with advertisers and partner/affiliate programs. Follow the same money making strategies and you'll be sitting

pretty.

3. Successful membership sites realize the importance of building your brand and increasing exposure to your site

· Logo

· Slogan

· Repetitive design elements

YouTube has to be one of the most recognizable membership site logos around. Whether you see it from a distance

on the side of a bus or at the top of a webpage, it's instantly recognizable because it is simple, clear, and consistent.

Three easy rules to follow when you're designing your own logo and slogan.

4. Successful membership sites are successful at generating traffic via various techniques including:

· SEO

· Content

· Linking

· Careful choice of keywords

· Press releases

Weight Watchers and Elance are two membership sites that have capitalized on the power of keywords, word of

mouth advertising, and valuable content. Whether you're searching for recipes, success stories, or even fitness

advice, Weight Watchers has content on the subject. Elance operates a little bit differently, they've harnessed the

power of the keyword "freelance" to make millions.
