Download The Membership Site Masterplan Free

Yaro Starak, one of the Internet marketers that I most respect, has just launched a new report, called Membership Site Masterplan (click to visit the download page). The good thing about his reports is that they are a) free and b) packed with useful information (as opposed to being a sales pitch packed into an ebook…). Anyway what is Membership Site Masterplan about? As you might have guessed from the name, it is a step by step guide for launching a profitable membership site. Yaro made over $250,000 with his Blog Mastermind course, and on this report he is revealing pretty much all the strategies and tools that he used to achieve that.
The report has 72 pages of content, and here are some of the topics that you will find inside it:

• How to find topics for a membership site
• How to develop preeminence, which means people choose to join your membership site over all the other options
• What sources of traffic Yaro uses to bring members to his site and build his list
• What technology Yaro uses to deliver content (this is so simple, anyone can do it)
• How to make money from a membership site before you create the content for it
• How to fill your membership site with hundreds of new members in a matter of days by conducting a powerful, yet simple, launch campaign

Of course Yaro hasn’t put all this work into the report for nothing. He’s launching a training program next week and this report is designed to introduce you to his teachings. I was one of the charter members of his program, and I can say the stuff I learned there was essential to the successful launch of my own membership site. But I will talk about this in more detail next week.
The interesting thing is that the report itself contains pretty much all you need to know. Here is what Yaro said about it:

I didn’t hold anything back in this report. I’ve given you all the pieces to complete the puzzle, and I hope you get out there and make a ton of money from your own membership sites.

I would highly recommend that you take 15 minutes away and go download and read the report now. I am sure you will find the information terribly useful, whether or not you plan to join Yaro’s program. Click here to download it free.

AdSense for Domains Is Now Open for Everyone (Kinda)

Domain parking companies are probably going to take a hit on this one. Until yesterday, if you had many unused domain names and wanted to monetize them you had only one option: to register an account with some registrar or domain parking company, and let them run the ads on your domains while giving you a (minuscule) share on the earnings per click.
Google had an AdSense product for domains, but only people with huge portfolios could have access to it.
Today they are opening that product up to all publishers, so even if you have 3 domains laying around you will now be able to put AdSense on them.
Do not expect to earn some killer money with this, obviously. Still I am pretty sure it will be more money that what it was possible to make before with the domain parking companies (if nothing else you are taking out the middle man).
If you want to use this feature, you just need to log into your AdSense account and click on the “AdSense Setup” tab, and there should be an “AdSense for domains” option there. Currently it is only available to U.S. AdSense publishers though, but Google should expand it to everyone else soon.

Careful Bloggers, the FTC Might Start Watching You

There is a big buzz in the blogosphere about a regulation that the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) is planning to approve late this summer. If that goes through, they will basically start going after bloggers “for any false claims or failure to disclose any conflict of interest.”
In other words, if you write a testimonial for a product you have never used, you might get busted. This part is the one that makes sense. The controversial one is the “failure to disclose any conflict of interest” one. This could involve bloggers who earned a freebie from a company and ended up writing about it (without disclosing the freebie), for example. Furthermore, it could also mean that you can’t use any affiliate links inside your blog or website without disclosing that you stand to earn money if someone clicks on them.
I believe that trying to enforce strict guidelines and clean the web from spammers and scammers is a good thing. However, I am not sure if this proposed approach is the right one. It kind reminds me of the RIAA, and how they were trying to stop illegal music downloads by suing the heck out of a women who had shared a couple of songs via P2P….
Aaron Wall wrote a really good post about this topic, titled FTC Going After Bloggers = Epic Fail. Here is a quote from it:

What is absurd (to me at least) is how inefficient this process is. What needs to happen is better enforcement on ad networks, search engines, and merchants. Follow the money downstream rather than hunting for nickels upstream.
The people who are making fake sites are doing so because they are paid to. And amoral ad networks that syndicate ads based on *maximizing yield efficiency* (like Google AdWords) are designed to syndicate fraud because it is easy for advertisers to pay a lot for ads when their profit margins are nearly 100% because they scam people.

I completely agree with him. Going after individual bloggers will not solve the problem. It will just make the money shift hands, but the system will remain intact. Either way it is important to keep an eye on the development of this issue, because it might affect all of us.
