Two profitable paid membership website business models

What businesses are suitable for paid membership sites? There are many. Here are 2 models for successful paid membership sites:

(a) Downloadable products

(b) Personality based/insider tips

The 2 subscription website models

(i) Downloadable products

There are many paid membership sites that provide their subscribers with a large library of digital products such as ebooks, software, scripts, tutorial videos, audios, PLR articles, products with resale rights and other materials that can be downloaded digitally.

Such sites are attractive because their subscribers can save money and time: by paying an affordable monthly subscription, they have access to a large number of products. However, some sites allow their subscribers to download only the products of the current month and not of the previous months.

Obviously, to keep their subscribers, the site owners need to constantly add new products to their sites.

(ii) Personality based/insider tips

Many successful paid membership websites are run by people who are experts, or who have built themselves a solid reputation, in their niches. They provide their subscribers with their personal insights, tips, advice and opinions.

An interesting niche is commodity and stock market trading. Many successful traders set up paid subscription sites to provide their trade recommendations, trade entry and exit levels, their timing predictions, and other technical analyses. Some add value to their sites by allowing their subscribers to access their technical analysis software online.
