I have been on the Internet for as long as I can remember and I have a passion for all things World Wide Web. This passion does not however make the only building blocks of a good membership site. I started eBookCoffeeShop http://www.ebookcoffeeshop.com as an experiment in what I could do with HTML and what I could give to my members. Yes it is true an amount of time is taken up developing the site and building a relationship with the members. A stagnant site is boring site and will not retain interest very long. I did not impose a membership fee because I believe the content I offer is freely available to one and all but I have just made it more simple to find. Having the time to spend expanding the wealth of information encapsulated within the site has been a task, but I try to add something when I can. Whenever I find anything of worth that I believe would be of interest to my membership. I will add it to the members area. One day I might add a paid membership area. When I can dedicate more time on a constant basis. I still juggle the rigours of a real world job as well as eBookCoffeeShop. So I feel it would be remiss of me to charge for something I can not guarantee will always be fresh and exciting. Anyway folks I love the opportunity to express my thoughts and I will always hold dear the ideas and opinions of Robert Plank. Thanks for listening and please feel free to drop by eBookCoffeeShop some time and share your thoughts. http://www.ebookcoffeeshop.com Thank you for your valuable time.. Talk to you soon.. Juan G'day,

You cover a lot of ground and bring some killer experience to the table. Thanks so much for sharing. I have a member's area for one of my offers... Currently it's a WSO but soon I will be adding member's area's for all of the products that I offer. You offer some great solutions to help us out with common hang up's on membership sites. Much appreciated... Thanks again, Derek Hey Robert,

Short answer is it isn't done yet. I'm working on it right now. In fact I've had two on the drawing boards, and putting the finishing touches on the first one now. It's on a manifestation topic, with a new twist. Would you like to know about it when it's done? Love your methods here. Thanks for getting so many of us to "pony up" and get into action :-) Nancy Hi Robert,

In fact, I forgot that I had one of those set up until I was reading this post. That particular site already has paying members, testimonials, etc. It's an 8-week fixed term membership. Anyway, both of my memberships are on the same domain (but you know that already): http://www.copywritingcode.com Ryan Robert - Great point about membership sites not having to be monthly recurring payment models.

Some of the "boxes" within the ugly duckling of personal portals show websites I also own, but none of them is a membership site. And I had been thinking of it for a month or two. Now, your article was the lacking "push" I needed to decide myself! I had a "few" disperse notes and studies about the subject, but I can give them the bucket today. After all I've found - so I believe - the best possible good use for the one domain I have been paying without using it for whatsoever (!) Thanks for this post and your emails too. Best wishes, PT Hey Robert,

Mostly I want to set one up as a bonus to the products I create. I'm doing some product creation now. From plr and from scratch. 1 product a week til the end of the year. After the new year I'll think about memberships. I've been procrastinating on a membership site for a long while now. Mostly I want to set one up as a bonus to the products I create.

No one can advertise without paying or joining my other wholesale classified service (i get their email). Never thought of it as a membership site though. I purchased Wishlist member and want Robert to release that drip feed plugin. Technically speaking I do have one: http://01Wholesale.com.
