A Profitable Business Model for Those With Good Follow Through (Quitters Avoid)
Published: Sat, 11/28/15
I'm home working on a combination of fiction and PLR today - staying out of the rainy, 37 degree drizzle. It's always fun to work when the Christmas decorations are up because the lights emit a soft glow in the room and it just looks so festive. I'd have them year round if I could without everyone eye rolling me.
So today I was thinking about business models, since one of my biggest ones is PLR - and I was thinking about different ways you could profit off of one idea.
For example, with PLR, you could...
1. Sell PLR packs (obvious)
2. Have a service rewriting PLR (cheaper than ghostwriting)
3. Sell an eBook about how to use PLR, or how to sell PLR
4. Profit as an affiliate promoting other peoples' PLR
5. Create a membership for PLR buyers.
Now if you look at the subject of this email I say specifically, "for those with good follow through."
As an affiliate, I've been really annoyed when I've sent my buyers to a PLR seller who flakes out and doesn't deliver. Still charges, but doesn't even deliver what they promised!
As a seller, I've tried my hand at a monthly PLR site before and I just didn't enjoy the process. However, I have, and don't mind offering, a one time lifetime PLR membership.
There are all sorts of business models within the membership idea itself. I was reading through Edmund Loh's new Monthly Membership Blueprint mega course (it has PLR rights too for just $7) below, and I enjoyed how he showcased all the different options available.

Did you know you don't have to sell "stuff" to have a membership? You can create a closed membership blog. He teaches you how to do that in the course, and here's what's funny. I routinely have people emailing me saying, "I see private blog posts on your blog - tell me what to pay, where so I can read those!"
So people HATE being left out of a closed blog post. They want in! You can make all or a portion of your blog private, and I've seen in my experience that a portion is better because that way, you get the readers there for free content that gets indexed, AND they see the private option, too.
Now in Edmund's blueprint, he's going to teach you all the different variations you could do. Me? I prefer one time payments, not multiple. That's as both a buyer AND a seller. But you can set up multiple payments for recurring income if you want.
OR, here's a cool thing Dennis Becker did...he did a set number of payments, until the membership was paid for in completion, so it wasn't never-ending. Just a set of like 10-12 payments.
Another thing I read previously was Jimmy Brown's Membernaire, which I don't think is being sold anymore but I'm not sure. It was great - you can do everything from an email autoresponder and not even have to have a so called "membership SITE." The content just goes out via email. It was genius because all you needed was a landing page and hosting, and an autoresponder. No confusing membership software, etc.
Okay I'm off to work, but check out Edmund's course here - it's just seven bucks - and well worth it to learn how membership business models work:

Plus, you have all sorts of other stuff included besides the eBook, like a checklist, covers, landing page, mind map, report, sales letter, sales video and swipe emails - for those of you who want to utilize the course for more than just personal info, as a course to sell, maybe!
I'm immersing myself back into the world of fiction and PLR for now. Y'all stay warm and safe this week!
Tiff ;)
P.S. Prefer a weekly digest?
