Featuring Experts Tim Kerber, CEO of MemberGate Solutions and Ryan Lee, Success Membership Program EntrepreneurPeople just like you are running highly successful member programs in such diverse niches as embroidery, jazz guitar, massage, wrestling, even sky diving! One of the biggest barriers to quitting your j-o-b to work for yourself is giving up the predictability of that regular paycheck. But with a member program – often referred to as a “continuity” or a “subscriber” program – members eagerly sign on to receive exclusive access to a steady flow of information (like Consumer Reports), products (think Netflix), or resources. As long as you make good on your promise to consistently deliver quality content, as a member program owner you’ll receive a steady flow of revenue in the form of member fees that are automatically billed on a monthly basis. Tim Kerber, CEO of MemberGate Solutions, Inc and MembershipSiteOwner.com and Ryan Lee, a former physical education teacher who now earns seven figures from 48 subscription websites in the fitness field, answer frequently asked questions about how to start and profit from a member program.
Whether your passion is salsa, gardening, art, or wrestling, there are a myriad of ways to turn what you already know into your livelihood. If you are drawn to the idea of a more regular, predictable income stream that has the potential to be extremely profitable, then running your own member site may be something worth exploring.

Take charge of your time and life and enjoy success beyond your wildest imaginings as a Virtual Assistant
How many times have you said, “I wish I had a more flexible work day and more control over my time… and life.” If you want to work from home, have great organizational skills, like managing projects of all sizes, genuinely enjoy helping others, and have the desire to be your own boss, then allow me to introduce you to the fascinating world of virtual assistance.
Virtual Assistants (VAs) are essentially personal
assistants but with two important differences. For one, VAs have made the
hugely life and status changing shift from “working for a boss” to serving
their own clients. The relationship is one of partners rather than
boss-employee. And two, VAs work from home. That’s because a VA's client –
or often multiple clients – live and work in another city, state or even
country.

Imagine closing the
sale and make more money than you’ve ever done before,
effortlessly and without the struggle!
Many entrepreneurs struggle with promoting their goods and services. Being successful in sales doesn’t mean you have to be “slick” or “pushy” to get the prospect to buy. You can be yourself and at the same time close more sales. When you know all the steps that lead a prospect to doing business with you, the prospect will come to YOU rather than you having to go after the prospect to buy.
