Hi Online-Marketing,
Today I’m going to be doing some name
dropping, so my apologies in advance
if this is not what you expect from me.
Just this morning I was speaking with
Robert Trumbo. He is the grandson of
famed screenwriter Dalton Trumbo, who
was blacklisted in Hollywood during the
1950s. Later he received the Academy
Awards he missed out on for films like
“Roman Holiday” and “Lonely Are the
Brave”. I’ll be working with him on a
new project for a non-profit group.
Now let’s talk about membership sites.
Long ago, while I was still a classroom
teacher I used to stop by Blockbuster
Video after school on Friday. By getting
there before four I missed most of the
weekend crowd and was able to rent a new
movie to watch over the weekend. At some
point I stopped doing this and then they
went out of business. Do you remember this?
Netflix came on the scene soon after, and
I joined to see what it was like. It was
perfect for my lifestyle and millions of
other people felt the same way. The only
difference at the time was that I became
a member and I am still billed $7.99 each
month, whether I watch something or not.
We even watched movies through my account
while I was in Finland and Sweden this
summer.
The membership model works.
Do you remember when I interviewed Lynda
Weinman for my podcast series? Email me
if you’d like the link. She’s a friend of
mine and we first met while at a dinner
for Marty Scorsese in Santa Barbara. (I
warned you about the name dropping) Lynda
started a little site called Lynda.com
in 1997 and LinkedIn bought it for $1.5
billion in April of 2015. Why was it valued
so high? Because it’s a membership site and
the members were paying monthly or annually
to continue learning there.
Membership is coveted by many people.
What groups are you a member of? Here are
some you may belong to already…
* Costco or Sam’s Club
* Amazon Prime
* a wine club
* your Homeowner’s Association
* service organization like Rotary
* Barnes & Noble
* one of my training courses
* my Online Marketing Incubator
* someone else’s online program
Please take time this weekend to watch
the videos from my friend Stu McLaren’s
new Tribe program. You’ll be glad you did.

There are three videos at the top of that
page, as well as a Blueprint to download.
This is an expensive course, and if you
do decide to come aboard here is my
Special Bonus:
1) Really Simple Membership Sites, my online
course that will be ready by December 1.
This is a $299 value.
2) Two hours of one-on-one calls with me
over the next twelve months. This has a
value of $2000, but some people have told
me it is priceless.
Email me any time. I’m still working on the
new Internet Marketing Six Pack course (yes,
it’s a membership site!) and then I have a
charity fundraiser tonight, but your email
is important to me and will get answered
personally and as promptly as possible.
To Your Massive Online Success,
