How you set up your site has a tremendous amount on the money that you will make. Free membership sites do very well with Adsense revenue and product revenue. However fee based sites stand to make money in a variety of ways. Here are some basic subscription options and how to make the most of them:

Standard Monthly Subscriptions are the normal course of action for a membership site. They work well for a well maintained website where the content is always fresh and you're always providing value. (If it isn't, members won't renew.)

The standard monthly membership site looks like this:

Members have access to a large amount of quality information about your niche subject, whether that is in the form of interviews, audio course or articles.

Members are able to access to a forum where they discuss aspects of your niche subject, ask advice, and network with people who are also interested in that niche subject.

Members have access to some free downloadable products such as e-books, seminars and audio files.

Upgraded subscriptions, like silver, gold, and platinum, are a profitable alternative to the standard monthly subscription model. It is one way of initially wetting the appetites of your members and to get them involved in the site so that they spend more money in the future.

Don't forget to lure your subscribers into upgrading their membership by offering benefits and making upgrades available often.

A one-time fee joining fee model works well if you plan on continually offering content, valued added resources, and multiple streams of revenue. You may also charge a one-time fee to join as well as a monthly subscription. This model creates an impression of esteem and a high level of credibility. Additionally, it will only attract members that are truly interested in your site.

How much will you charge?

First and foremost, don't be afraid to charge subscribers what you're worth - even if you consider it to be fairly high.

People know that they have to pay for quality and they're willing to do it. Additionally, you know that your members are serious about belonging to your website.

Make your site worth the money. If you charge a high monthly subscription, make sure that you continually offer high quality products. One low quality product will cost you a member and years and years of profits.

If you're offering a one time subscription, say of $1000, then you want to make sure that you have multiple streams of income in place so that you continue to make money.

Internet marketing has had a huge impact on marketing. Online marketing is cost effective and reaches a global market. It has a flavor of its own and has created an entirely new marketing environment. A local business that once had only the people next door as customers can find a broad market online without paying an arm and a leg to get national or even international audiences. This also frees a business from the possibility of being stifled by problems with the local economy.
No one wants to be known as the company who lost out on a great amount of money because their website was down. The cold hard truth though is that a company can receive that label rather easily. Many well-known companies cringe when they see their names on the front page of the Wall Street Journal, detailing what went wrong.
In the early days of entertaining, most local performers were trapped in their hometowns or other towns located nearby simply because they couldn't afford to advertise nationally or internationally. The Internet shattered those boundaries by opening a means to communicate to everyone, everywhere. But many entertainers haven't been taught how to market effectively online and, therefore, aren't reaping any of the benefits.
Anyone who starts an internet business to profit from e-commerce has high hopes for success. Many feel that with just a few simple ads the business will boom and take off into a major business.

I'm a huge advocate of having a website and blog to support your day care business. My website was born at the same time as my day care and I have benefited from a lot of business that otherwise might not have found me. They might have overlooked my service in favor of a bigger, better, faster, shinier, more centrally located day care.
Have you ever used a program that was designed as an every man's type of offering (MS Word comes to mind) and then switched to another piece of software that had less features and fewer abilities? It probably came as a breath of fresh air to be able to perform the tasks you needed to with minimal learning and interference. In order to have winning products, you will need to specialize your own software or information products.
