However, I have a question somehow related to pricing: how much are you paying the other mentors? Is it a fixed rate, a percentage of the membership site's income? Hi Yaro,

Congrats for this extensive series, I’m currently studying it to launch my own membership website. However, I have a question somehow related to pricing: how much are you paying the other mentors? Is it a fixed rate, a percentage of the membership site’s income?

If you can keep attrition at around 10% you are doing good. Some people operate on a 30% attrition rate and still have very profitable membership sites. It really depends on how your system is set up, but my training focuses on dropping attrition to the acceptable 10% or below level if possible. It really depends on a lot of factors.

You can plan for your program to run forever, however if that's you writing the lessons then you have to do it forever too. If you make it a 12 month course, then you have to always bring new people into the program at week 1 or you lose your income stream when you finish. It really depends on how you source the content. If you can bring on others to write lessons and keep the content valuable then you don't ever have to stop, but bear in mind too I don't know any membership site that members choose to stay members of forever if it is based on education. If it's a tool - like say an email autoresponder - that's another story because you always need some tools. Alex – That’s up to you.

I am planning a Mentoring type of membership site rather than a "Download" type of Membership site, which seems to be the usual type. If I decide on a Weekly lesson delivery I can see how I can easily create enough content for a few months...but is there a final lesson? Should we expect members to belong for a few months and exit when they have learned what they needed? I used to be a college teacher and I'm wondering how far a Mentoring Membership Site can parallel a college course! All The Best Alex Hi Yaro,

Lol, yes at the moment I'm reinvesting a lot back into Blog Mastermind, both in terms of my own labor and also hiring skilled people to help me. One of the big issues now is technology and the expense to get it all working how I want to, or even just close to it, is the biggest drain, but that won't last forever once we nut out some problems. I'm also working pretty hard myself producing content and again that's not something I plan to do forever. Right now there is not much profit left over, but it's an investment that I'm willing to make and I know long term it will be beneficial for me. It's business building 101. Lindsay – A lot!

In the Internet marketing world it seems that you need to select a very high price point to convince big names to promote your product. That makes it extra difficult to choose a price that is fair to your customers and that allows you to have a decent force of affiliates promoting your membership site. Another great post in this series. I look forward to the next one. Selecting a price also impacts who is willing to promote your product.
