And you earn this income over time, based on your original efforts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Say you decide to take a few days, a week, or even longer off work. With a membership-based business, money will continue to roll in from your existing members and new sign-ups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\">\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>A Word on Churn<\/em> >> There\u2019ll always be customers who leave (referred to as member churn). But there\u2019s a lot you can do <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/reducing-your-membership-sites-churn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">to minimize churn<\/a>. If you work to consistently attract new members, not only will it neutralize the impact of those who leave, your income will grow.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\">\n\n\n\n<p>Your project will definitely require a lot of work up front, and there\u2019ll be ongoing maintenance, upgrades, and admin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But with the membership model, the potential for passive income is much greater due to <strong>payment predictability<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Predictable Income (future proofing)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With recurring revenue comes predictability. If you\u2019re working as a freelancer (or even running an agency) you\u2019re probably familiar with the cycles of <strong>feast and famine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One month you might have more work than you can handle. Other months you might see a big dip in available projects. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The membership model helps generate more predictable income streams that make financial planning easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scalability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You might be used to running a business where you\u2019re the main asset and the person who does all the work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that\u2019s the case, another benefit of the membership model is the greater opportunity for <strong>scaling and outsourcing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the type of membership site you create, there might be lots of tasks you can <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/go\/fiverr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow sponsored\">outsource to remote workers<\/a> or local staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, say you\u2019re offering an <strong>online training program<\/strong>. You could hire staff to work on the administration of your course while you focus on content creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or say you <strong>sell digital products <\/strong>like stock photos or code snippets. If you\u2019ve got recurring revenue coming in through service subscriptions, you could employ people to help with creating those assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The membership model lends itself to <strong>automation<\/strong>, making it way easier than regular freelance gigs to outsource and scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Service Packages vs One-Offs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine you\u2019re a <strong>site designer<\/strong>, and you typically work in a <strong>one-off<\/strong> capacity that looks something like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Get a new client<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Set up a project contract<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Complete and deliver the project<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Get paid<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>With the membership model, you could significantly expand your recurring revenue (and overall earning) potential by offering <strong>service packages<\/strong> something like these:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>5 deliverables\/month for a monthly fee of $X<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>20 hours\/month for a monthly fee of $X or a discounted annual fee of $X<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bronze, Silver, and Gold Web Maintenance plans with scaled monthly pricing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to your monthly\/annual plans, you could offer<strong> add-on services<\/strong> (that work more like one-offs) at varying prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By structuring your pricing this way, you significantly increase your recurring revenue potential by locking clients into a <strong>regular payment plan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recycling and Repurposing Content<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As this same web design company, you\u2019d probably produce a lot of single websites for individual clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, you could create a high-quality WordPress <strong>theme <\/strong>and make it available as part of a service package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same applies to <strong>many other deliverables<\/strong> you might be producing for your clients on a one-off basis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, say you provide <strong>coaching or consulting services<\/strong>. You could recycle and repurpose your knowledge by creating <strong>instructional videos<\/strong>, <strong>courses<\/strong>, and other training content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then place that content behind a <strong>paywall<\/strong>, and make it available to customers on a subscription basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To peak customers\u2019 interest (and preserve your SEO), you could even allow free partial pageviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"SVoQIBxig706Ry4WtrFXdPuLNDbqHmklzKY1Mpc8U3OCEJasefnwv\"><div class=\"responsive-video\"><iframe title=\"How to Offer Free Page Views with the MemberPress PayWall Setting\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Pc4a9VgtVmw?feature=oembed&enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">WATch >> how to allow free pageviews in front of your paywall<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This way you go from working in a one-to-one capacity, to working with a <strong>one-to-many<\/strong> model with way <strong>better profitability<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know some of the main benefits of the membership \/ subscription model, let\u2019s see what <strong>types of businesses <\/strong>would benefit most from making the transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Businesses_That_Should_Be_Using_the_Membership_Model\"><\/span>Businesses That Should Be Using the Membership Model<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Around here we say, <strong><em>If you\u2019ve got customers, you need MemberPress<\/em><\/strong>. That\u2019s because just about every single business could benefit from adding subscriptions to the mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are a few types of businesses that, if they aren\u2019t using the subscription model, it\u2019s nothing less than a crying shame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Coaching and Consulting\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re an expert in your field, or you at least have enough knowledge that people are already paying you for your time, your business is absolutely <em>begging <\/em>for the membership model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, people are already accustomed to paying for these kinds of services in regular intervals.

Another related option is to <strong>create a single package<\/strong>. Then market it to your target audience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a <strong>freelance writer<\/strong>, for example, this might be a subscription package that includes a set price for four 500-word blog posts per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a productized service, a customer joins the membership and each month gets the same amount of content in the same format as all your other customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block-mp-button-wrap\">\n\t<a id=\"button-block_3f21db0c39221f97b37d4def366c5a29\" href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/blog\/sell-writing-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"button button-blue center\">READ >> How to Sell Your Writing Online<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Though you\u2019d still be providing unique content to each customer, this model removes a lot of the negotiating and other time-consuming tasks that come with offering each client something different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a productized services, you\u2019re also working from strict processes and procedures, rather than treating each job as a unique task. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because your staff can follow these systems to provide the same service to all your members, this format makes outsourcing and scaling much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Create Online Courses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Online courses are one of the absolute best ways to add a subscription-based passive income stream to your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we said, if people are paying you for your expertise, you can monetize that knowledge and make it available to your paying members. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block-mp-button-wrap\">\n\t<a id=\"button-block_a400414a2b8922c5ea1afa07607aa1d0\" href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/blog\/sell-courses-on-wordpress\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"button button-blue center\">READ >> How to Sell Courses with WordPress<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p>You can create this content once, build it out and place it in a paywalled course in MemberPress, then watch the revenue continue rolling in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Build a Community<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An online community is a proven-effective customer retention strategy. It would also make a great addition to the <strong>VIP customer program<\/strong> we mentioned above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you create and manage a community around your business, you\u2019re making <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/add-a-discussion-forum-to-your-wordpress-membership-site-with-bbpress\/\">a space where your members can communicate with each other<\/a>, access special discounts, stay informed, attend special events, and just feel like \u201cpart of the group\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start Something Totally New<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe you\u2019re not interested in the membership \/ subscription business model for your current business.
