Hi Creators!

Today I want to give you some great examples of how to use the membership-based business model in a business when it isn’t an association. In fact, a number of the companies I feature in the Create Your Association Blueprint and Tool Kit aren’t associations at all.

If you already have an existing business of any kind, you can create a “buying network” or “purchasing network” where you give clients bigger discounts when they purchase in advance or in large quantities. You can also give them discounts if they pay a recurring members fee.

I have put two creative and inspiring examples. Don’t be afraid to brainstorm your present business model with someone who is already operating their business with a membership somewhere in their company. Masterminding with other entrepreneurs is always a great way to achieve success faster.

Examples of two companies with membership as part of their business offerings:

1. Femail Creations

   * Members-only 1-800 order number

   * Members quarterly newsletter
   * Secret handshake!

2. Motivations, Inc.

This is a PDF document from their website, it is a great example of how you can incorporate membership into almost any business!

By the way, this company expects $1.4 million in revenue this year!

Until next time-keep creating,

PS

The Create Your Association Blueprint and Tool Kit features 6 different companies, membership-based business models in detail. I interviewed presidents, CEOs, and various solo-business owners to show you how you could build your own membership-based business from your home!
