The most common internet marketing business model is the product creation model. In this model, you are told to think of things that you are interested in. You are then told to find forums that match these interests and see what problems people are talking about. Your next step is to think of a way to solve these problems, create a product with this solution and get people to buy your product.

This is an okay way to make some money online. But it has one really, really big drawback. And that is the fact that you are not leveraging your effort. You spent a lot of time and effort to research your market and to create your product. And then you found people interested in your product and your persuaded them to buy it.

Persuading a person to open their wallets takes a lot of time and effort. And you got them to only pay you once. Now if you want to make more money you have to find another interested person and persuade them to buy your product.

Let's say you have added list building to your business model. Now even though you have a list of interested people, you still have to persuade them each and every time that you come out with a product.

Your business cycle now is finding an interested person, persuading them to join your list, maintaining a great relationship with them, persuading them to buy your product, and keep persuading them to buy your product.

In order to get the same person to buy from you over and over again, you have to keep working on them. You have to keep persuading them.

Instead of this what if you could use a business model where you convinced your prospect only once and they paid you over and over again. Doesn't this sound better? There is a very easy way to do this.

And that is by creating a membership program. All you have to do is persuade your prospect once and they will pay you month after month.

Your business cycle now is to find an interested person and persuade them to join your membership program. You have now created recurring income. This way you take the time and effort to convince a person once and they spend money with you for many, many months in the future. You are leveraging your work by a great factor.

Isn't this a lot better than having to work on your prospect each and every time that you create a product. If you are like most people, you think that a membership program is hard to create and maintain. You think that you have to have a lot of technical knowledge, that you have to install scripts, keep constantly creating content, maintain a forum and a lot of other things.

Actually you really don't have to do all that to have a successful membership program. There is a very simple easy way to do by using an auto responder.
