Chapter 9 of Yaro Starak’s Membership Masterplan Review

Selling Your Membership Site

I remember when on Rich Schefrens Business Growth System - and Rich talked about considering this factor from the beginning (an exit strategy) - I was a little put out - I don’t know if I could build something up like that, just to sell it. It’s a choice of course, but I now see the sensibility of it - especially if the buzz is in creating new projects and businesses, and multiple income streams are the order of the day! (which they just might be..)

Near the start of this chapter - a line caught my attention:

“Launching a successful membership site has to be one of the most straight forward methods for becoming a millionaire thanks to the Internet that I know of today.”

Hmm.. Yaro then takes us through the process of preparing to sell the site, including:

A set of metrics which should be known and included
What documented proof is recommended
Where to find buyers
Hiring a broker to sell your site
How to determine what your site is worth (very interesting)

As a conclusion, Yaro talks about the big picture - the whole ‘membership website’ from start to finish.

Some great examples are followed by sound words of wisdom on how to proceed.

And of course, Yaro tells us about the upcoming Membership Site Mastermind - which sounds brilliant.

Here’s a summary of what he tells you about the Membership Site Mastermind in the report:

The course is called Membership Site Mastermind and includes the following -

Six core modules detailing each step of my membership site system including:

How to pick a topic and establish preeminence
How to get traffic to your membership site and build an email list ready for launch
What technical components are required to host your membership site
What people resources you need to recruit, how to find them and when is the right time to hire them
How to produce content for your membership site and how much content you need before you should launch
How much to charge for your membership site
How to conduct a complete “launch process”, including prelaunch, opening week and post launch
How to find joint venture partners and affiliates
How to take payments and process transactions online
and much more…

Yaro also takes us behind the scenes of his first site Blog Mastermind, tells us who he hired, what technical components he used, the exact sequence of emails for prelaunch and lanch, including the series that made him $15,000 in one week.

The whole thing is broken donw into easy to follow steps, clear and straight to the point.

Each weekly module contains:

A two hour video presentation broken down into four parts to make it easier for you to “chunk” the training into small bursts of 30 minutes each.
Each presentation is 100% content from me (you will see me talking to you in the video) as I walk you through a presentation, including live demonstrations from my desktop and inside my membership site.
The videos are available to stream online as Camtasia presentations, which work on Windows or Mac computers, or you can download the raw video files to watch on your computer or portable device like an iphone or ipod if you don’t have a good Internet connection.
Edited transcripts (not just raw transcripts - these have been edited so they are easier to read) of each video presentation are provided for those of you prefer to read, plus audio-only MP3s are available so you can listen on the run, during exercise, on public transport or driving in the car.
Each module also contains an action-focused task sheet in printable PDF, again produced entirely by me, which are 10 to 20 pages of activities you need to do to get real outcomes. The task sheets are very specific and give you a strategic breakdown and practical instructions on what you need to get done and how to get it done.

There’s a bunch of bonuses outlined in the free report, that include:

Five bonus audio interviews with experts who have successfully launched membership sites. Topics include -
- How to go from zero to a profitable membership site in only 3 weeks! (Marc Lindsay from PLRPro.com)
- The top 8 mistakes most people make when planning a membership site and how to avoid them (Daryl Grant from AndrewandDaryl.com)
- How to choose the right technology to run your membership site (Tony Clark from TeachingSells.com)
- How to outsource the creation of content for your membership site (West Loh from MoneyMindset.com)
- A step-by-step breakdown of a six figure launch week (Gideon Shalwick from BecomeABlogger.com)
A 96-page document I wrote from scratch just for this course full of pure GOLD. I’m not exaggerating here, this took me quite some time to put together for you, but it was worth it - I’m very proud of this resource. I provide you with every single email I used during my first successful membership site launch campaign - 35 emails in total - but not just the email, I also break down the strategy behind the email, including why I sent it at that specific time. You can use this document to plan your email launch sequence, or even copy my emails if you want to.
Specifically for Membership Site Mastermind members, I had five unique blog templates created for the Wordpress blog platform, which are designed to focus specifically on capturing the email opt-in, so you can use your blog to begin building your email list in preparation to launch your membership site.
If you like direct contact with a coach and mentor, then you will love the live weekly teleconferences I personally conduct, one for each module of the course over the six weeks. This is your chance to speak to me directly during the call and to ask any questions you have about your membership site.
I also give you access to my private forums that are only for my paying coaching students. This is a great opportunity to network, support and get help from a group of people who are motivated to succeed online. There is a team of mentors, including myself, who spend time every day responding to questions. This is another way to get in touch with me that only my elite coaching students have access to, 24 hours a day.
