The recurring income that you earn is one of the big advantages of running a membership site. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to supplement that recurring income. In this article we’re going to look at several strategies for making even more from your membership sites.

Personal Coaching

One strategy is to offer a coaching upgrade to your members. Some of your members will likely want more personal attention than others, whether it’s to get more detailed information or just to bounce their ideas off of you.

You could offer this on a one-on-one basis or you could use a webinar or Skype group to do group coaching. For one-on-one coaching you could do it with Skype, telephone or even a private forum.

Upsells

Offering multiple levels of membership or other types of upsells is another effective way to increase your income. For example, you might have a membership that teaches how to build websites. You can offer an upsell to a “done for you” service where you or your team do the work for your members.

You could also offer different levels of content every month. For example, if you offer a graphic design membership you could have different levels, each with a different number of projects included in the monthly fee.

You can either offer these upsells immediately after people join, or you can offer them as future options to your existing members. Better yet, offer them in both places – new members get a discounted price and if they don’t want it, they can get it later but will pay more.

Affiliate Promotions

Offering related products to your members through an affiliate link is another way to earn extra income from your membership. Provided you are promoting high-quality offers, your members will be glad to hear about things that can benefit them.

This option works best if you recommend things that are directly related to the topic of the membership, especially things that can help make things easier and/or faster for your members. For instance, a software program that automates some repetitive task they have to perform would work well.
