			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The big thing in membership websites is a pre-made membership website.</p>
<p>That is where someone makes the same website with the same content using different URLs over and over and then sells them.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s sounds great.  It&#8217;s sounds like a viable idea. But, it isn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>The problem with having the same membership website is well they are the same. The squeeze page is the same, all the copy is the same, everything is the same. And Google hates things that are the same.</p>
<p>They are essentially selling a website that Google isn&#8217;t going to want to index. So you have to rely entirely on marketing it without Google. Hey that&#8217;s possible. You can grow your email list, post articles, send out press releases and work yourself into the ground.</p>
<p>Your audience gravitate to your because of you. You have to be you. You can&#8217;t buy a pre-made website and be you. Branding 101.</p>
<p>The real key is help in marketing. Having the same website as a lot of other people is going to hurt you.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t think these pre made membership websites will last.  Just the latest fad of Internet Marketers. They will sell it for now and when it doesn&#8217;t sell anymore they come out with the next latest thing.</p>
<p>To be consistent on the Internet you can&#8217;t rely on the latest fads. You&#8217;ll be switching from one fad to another and get extremely tired, divorced, single and stressed.  It&#8217;s not good.</p>
<p>You need to work on your marketing funnel. Work on your front end products, get a video squeeze page up and market that, take those profits and make your membership website and add some products in between as up and downsells.</p>
<p>Do you want a membership website with YOUR content on it where you can add and edit all the content yourself. Where you can manage all the members yourself without having to learn a complicated membership application that only techies know how to use?</p>
<p><a href="http://moneymachinewebsites.com/websites/membership/">Money Machine Membership Website </a></p>
<div>P.S. Imagine what it would be like to have a website in less than a week where you can focus on marketing it.</div>
<div></div>
<div>P.P.S. In my 13 years of consulting with many many small businesses on their websites the biggest thing I see people getting stuck on is learning how to create websites and never getting past that hurdle. Have it done in a week and be in business now focusing just on marketing.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems all you hear about in Internet Marketing is the hard and fast launch.  It works and does create a frenzy for buying the product. And it is usually done for products that don&#8217;t work for long.  You know the techniques that will work for a week or a month before not working anymore because Google changes their algorhymn or just the world changes.</p>
<p>The soft launch is actually a lot more common.</p>
<p>Restaurants entreprenuers start with getting their family and friends trying out their food and tweek it until it is good enough to launch their restaurant.</p>
<p>Comics try new material in front of small crowds to gauge response before taking it to TV or big arena.  Authors test in blog and magazines before moving on to publishing a book.</p>
<p>A lot of Internet Markets do it too. They keep selling their main e-book or course, the ones with broad appeal.</p>
<p>The soft launch is smart because you&#8217;ll never be able to plan for everything that will come up.  You can&#8217;t think of 100% of what will happen.  It&#8217;s much easier to work through the challenges.  Solve them as they come up.  Definitely have a plan but be realistic that you can&#8217;t plan for everything. You&#8217;ll waste a lot of time trying which you can use to actually implement. That extra planning is a waste of time so don&#8217;t do it.  Create a simple plan and implement it and adjust as things come up.</p>
<p>Soft launching gives you the ability to tweak and change things. You get it out there and gauge interest and adjust as necessary.  Successful products are produced by how good you are in tweaking it after you&#8217;ve launched it.</p>
<p>Make mistakes in front of small audiences and you&#8217;ll learn what works and then you move on to bigger audiences.</p>
<p>I see so many people not doing anything because they look up to big Internet Marketers and try to do what they are doing.  They didn&#8217;t start big, they went through a process to get big.  You do to.</p>
<p>Take the first step.</p>
