How do you get reoccurring passive income every month? I'm sure that's a question that many of you internet marketers think about on a daily basis...At least I do!!
A friend and I were talking about all the different ways to make money online and I brought up the idea of creating a membership website. We both love to share information with people - she loves to talk and I love to write. An idea was born! We'd build this website and charge a monthly membership fee for people who want access to all of our valuable information...
So I got to work on the research...Exactly how does one build a membership website? I didn't really want to spend the time to build a website from the ground up. I already have the challenge of redesigning the websites I already have!
In my search I came across this website called iGroops Membership Sites. What I like about iGroops is that they already have a template and all kinds of modules and services setup for you so you don't have to start from scratch! Basically all I have to do is create my own banner header and all of the content to upload to the site. There are also different plans based on your business needs.
iGroops was founded by Bo Bennett and to get an idea of who he is and how he got started with this company, I asked him a few questions which he was kind enough to answer...
MP: I saw that you started reading personal development books by the time you were 10 years old! How important is it for entrepreneurs to read these types of books?
BB: For me it was very important. It was the fuel for my desire to do something on my own. These authors were my mentors and frequent reading/listening put me on the right path.
MP: Did you always know that you wanted to have your own business?
BB: Yes... from very early on.
MP: What types of companies have you been involved in and why did you start them?
BB: In my teenage years I was involved in businesses with low cost to entry -- mostly distributorships and resale arrangements. In college I stated using more of my talents in design, then after college programming and the Internet. Use what you have.
MP: What inspired you to start iGroops?
BB: My failure trying to launch my second webhosting company mostly. I discovered that the online world has changed quite a bit from the 90's, and the business community demanded more.
MP: What one piece of advice would you give to someone wanting to start their own membership site?
BB: Keep your startup costs low and don't try to build on from scratch! With iGrOOps one can get started for $99 and $29 per month.
MP: What's your biggest vision in life?
BB: Ruling the world
MP: What's one of your "secrets" to building a successful online business?
BB: There are no secrets, and don't let anyone sell you any. There are many great marketing techniques out there. If you choose the right ones, you will succeed.
