Membership site review :
-------------------------------------------
What is the site about :
-------------------------------------------
As you know, I do a lot of research for membership affiliate program online. There is a huge demand for small business development, and many site offer free information about it, but people are a bit fed-up with the free info sometime because it is not really good or useful. Because of that, people are willing to pay to be a member of a site, IF it gives them real insider information.
Now, you probably already know about Corey Rudl site called Secret To Their Succes. This site present people who are successful, and tell you how they achieved their results.
Ok, Corey Rudl affiliate program is great, you could promote its membership site. The only downside is this : you will be promoting something that is already well known by many webmasters so it becomes much harder to convert your visitors into sales.
This is why I decided to find other membership affiliate programs that gives a similar information but are not everywhere on the web yet.
And I found Business Fastlane Team website.
The site offer hundreds of case studies of people who are making money on the web, without being in the public eye. This is a very interesting concept in my opinion. Of course, there are many so-called "gurus" online, everybody knows them and would love to copy their success, but what about the silent money makers? Don't you think webmasters would like to know how others are making money online without flashing, without having their face on a billboard?
I know I personally love that type of information. And it is becoming popular at the moment. I know, I have been myself interviewed because I am making a full-time income from my web business!
-------------------------------------------
Now, what's inside?
-------------------------------------------
Inside this membership site you will find case studies and product reviews. This is a great time-saving option for busy people. Instead of searching everywhere on the web, you get everything in the same place. The case studies cover all types of areas like Ebay, strange business ideas, kid entrepreneurs, women business and more. This allows you to reach a wide audience when you try to sell this membership site.
One of the good feature is the private forum. I know, there are tons of forums online, some are good, most are not. Having a REAL private forum where people DO answer your business questions is often worth on its own the membership fee. Think about it : if ONE idea each month brings in the price of the membership fee in profit, you break even!
The other sections include exclusive articles by big names and business tools reviews.
Important : new content is added weekly. This is extremely important if you want the subscribers to stay a member for a while!
-------------------------------------------
What is the affiliate offer:
-------------------------------------------
The affiliate program pays 50% recurring commission. Payment are done through Paypal.
It claims to have a huge conversion rate. This I have no proof, you'll have to try it on your own mailing list to see how it goes.
They do offer a few articles you can use to promote their site, but I could not access them without being logged in as a member. This is not a very good thing, especially since they don't really provide other marketing material to their affiliate.
-------------------------------------------
Conclusion
-------------------------------------------
If you have a site or a list targeting small business owners, affiliate marketers, webamsters, this site can a good one to promote, especially for its ever renewing content.
The lack of marketing material is not very interesting, but in the same time it is not so bad because in my opinion, it is always better to promote using your own material.
