This would fit perfectly with the lack-of-knowledge problem you've already identified.You don't have to touch the actual affiliate marketing aspects - e.g. writing landing pages, finding products, driving traffic etc, etc.As you've so rightly said: working online is such a huge area that there are loads of niches in there to focus on. What you've done has given you experience and skills that many people are crying out for. A membership site that meets those needs would be great.Cheers,Martin. Paul, hi,

You’re bang on with the membership site idea.

Just one thought, though: as long as your membership site isn’t specifically about how to do affiliate marketing you don’t need to wait for that to be working before you start.

You’ve already set up an eCommerce site – so your membership site could be focused around site creation, SEO type stuff, and all the things setting something up online entails. This would fit perfectly with the lack-of-knowledge problem you’ve already identified.

You don’t have to touch the actual affiliate marketing aspects – e.g. writing landing pages, finding products, driving traffic etc, etc.

As you’ve so rightly said: working online is such a huge area that there are loads of niches in there to focus on. What you’ve done has given you experience and skills that many people are crying out for. A membership site that meets those needs would be great.

One's a cycling blog. This is one of my hobbies so I really enjoy it but like you say all blogs are hard work. I earn a little money from it but not much yet. I have plans to expand it and moneterize this year. my other two blogs are internet business and marketing blogs. I run my own ecommerce site and I'm currently finding my way through the affiliate marketing field. I've fallen down some big holes, but that's ok, experience is priceless, and I like problems or challenges. Like you I'm thinking long-term of starting a membership site. Before I do however, I need to create a successful affiliate marketing system. i always believe you have to be able to do it before you can teach it. From the research I've done on membership sites i think their quality is characterized by two things. The amount and quality of the content, and a well designed site. I think there's a huge market for a membership site that teaches methods to make money online, and this market will continue to grow. the subject matter is enourmous so you will never run out of ideas for content. My idea would be to have a site that took people by the hand and show them how to do the simple things first. From the research I've done I'm amazed by how ignorant people are about how the internet works. most people have no idea about domain names, ftp or all the other things that those of us who have been involved in computers for some time consider simple. I believe there's a massive market to be exploited here. Helping people to develop the skills required to earn money online. I'm already thinking about starting to build content. A membership site would have to launch with a huge content library of videos and article tutorials. this is the end game of why I blog and engage in other online business activities. I visualize a membership site charging about 20 quid a month with a thousand members. That's what drives me through the days when I really can't be bothered. This dream is my motivation. .-= Paul´s last blog ..Driving Traffic To Your Site With Article Marketing =-. I run three blogs at the moment. One’s a cycling blog.
