In the realms of internet marketing, the most popular products and services are the ones that have the largest fan following. These products often have planned launches, utilize advanced marketing techniques and the best of them can make several thousand dollars a day on their initial launch.

Membership websites work well with a prelaunch because you can offer exclusive discounts to those that pre-register. It is a tremendously simple but effective marketing technique that you can use to build both a subscriber base and also a mailing list. Many small time internet marketers often neglect these techniques under the false assumption that their membership website is not ‘big enough’, but the reality is that anyone can benefit.

Creating a Prelaunch for your Membership Website

With any business idea, one of the most essential parts is buying a good domain name, especially with a membership website. A good domain name creates a brand, and this is what you are selling to your customers. A pre launch requires only two things, a landing page and an easy to remember website address.

At this stage it is probably best to invest in good membership software, because you can take advantage of its registration function to build a mailing list of double opt-in subscribers who will sign up at your membership website.

So, what is a prelaunch page?

A prelaunch page is normally a single page announcing that your long-awaited membership website or product is nearing completion and you are going to be opening to a limited number of subscribers; it contains a quick tour of what you will offer and the ability for users to register for your membership website with their name and e-mail address.

A prelaunch page is one of the best ways to let you create hype about your membership website on forums, mailing list and to friends whilst you are still completing the content. It is a great way to build a mailing list as well, which is one of the most valuable internet marketing resources you can have.
