Thats the part that will suck a little bit, right now I have all the info in a spreadsheet with their expire dates etc, I would like to integrate and automate everything so I don't have to touch it, hell if I make enough I will pay someone to do it for me. I wasn't really ready to do this but my traffic is increasing beyond what the crappy (burstnet) advertising was giving me and my bandwidth is going through the roof so I needed revenue NOW.
I have done quite a few product reviews with vendors so those are the ones I hit up first, I have only called a few with pretty good response, I would like to get 50 or more up there to really sell the memberships.
Membership is really the way the internet is going now, advertising is drying up fast so this looks like a great way to bring in revenue.
I toyed with the idea of a pay site and asked my viewers about it and we came to the conclusion that a pay site would stifle new members because they wouldn't know what they were getting so offer extra perks to support the site seems the way to go. As I bring on board new things like a better chat room, new software etc., I will put that under the membership program, this way I don't have to take anything away from the regular users.
It's funny how most of the members just want their name in orange to be different and show there support, what I like about that is it cost me nothing to do.
