  • Does Extreme Member use Extreme Member?
    By Shane Goldberg on July 7, 2008 | No Comments  Comments

    I have to say this question makes me laugh a little. It’s a great question and one that has to be asked. So do we eat our own medicine!?

    We have this great system for building sites, so do we actually use it ourselves?

    The answer is ABSOLUTELY YES!

    Everything you see on this site is done in Extreme Member.

    If you have any questions that aren’t answered on the site in the Features or FAQ’s section Contact Us and we’ll be more than happy to answer your questions.

    Sometimes getting started with something new like Extreme Member can seem like a daunting task. Below we’ve mapped out some steps for you to get your account up and running fast.

    Step 1. Using First Steps

    When you login to your account you will see on the right hand side a section at the top called ‘First Steps’. This is a basic checklist to get you started.

    Simply click on the links to be taken to the related section.

    Once you’ve updated the section come back to the Dashboard and click in the checkbox next to that option.

    You can reset the First steps at any time by clicking the ‘Reset First Steps List’ at the bottom of the list.

  • Why we don’t recommend Google Analytics

    An important part of running a successful online business is understanding where your traffic is coming from, what your visitors are looking at on your site, and how long they’re staying on your site plus much more.

    There are lots of different analytics tools out there. One of the most common is Google Analytics. We don’t recommend it because we believe there are better alternatives out there. We’ve found something far better, easier to use with clearer information it’s free and it’s here.

    Even if you don’t use Extreme Member we highly recommend you check it out and join up for a free account and then if you like it and want more detailed stats you can pay for a premium account (they’re super cheap).

    It is fully integrated with Extreme Member too ;)

    We also recommend HitsLink which is also integrated with Extreme Member. Another very powerful solution for monitoring your site metrics.

  • The Membership Business Model
    By Shane Goldberg on July 2, 2008 | No Comments  Comments

    You’ve probably heard this quote many times “It is 6 times more expensive to get a new client than it is to sell to an existing one”. Very interesting point.

    Depending on the nature of your business if you’re already in business or if you’re looking at getting into business this is one of the big challenges faced by all business owners. The constant need and requirement for a steady flow of ‘New’ clients and business.

    In one of my other businesses my business partner and I had the opportunity to interview over 2,500+ Photographers and small business owners and guess what was identified as their single biggest challenge and concern for their business?

    That’s right you guessed it – Getting new clients!

    One of the HUGE bonuses with the Membership and Subscription based business model is the simple fact that you are getting paid again and again, over and over by the same clients month after month for the single sale you made.

    Make the sale once = Get paid for a lifetime

    It’s similar to an author who writes a book once and then gets paid royalties ongoing by the publisher for all book sales made now and in the future.

    Have a great day.
    To your ‘Membership Site’ success
