Membership sites dedicated to Internet Marketing are, it appears, multiplying daily. The diversification of membership sites is also prolific with often several membership sites serving one small niche. So how do you choose?

Look at Squidoo for example. I know of three membership sites entirely dedicated to using Squidoo as a means to get leads, sales, traffic, etc and by all accounts they are providing great information. If you specifically want to get to the bottom of a very small niche then such a membership site may be for you.

When considering a membership site in the internet marketing niche I suggest you look for the following:

You want a hands on Admin that is there to sort things out and is open to dialogue and suggestions for improvement to the membership site. There’s nothing worst than paying money to someone and hardly ever getting input from them.

Do they have their own dedicated server or two? Now personally I would not put my sites on a membership site’s server unless I was totally satisfied that I will be a long term member (You don’t want to go moving all your sites after one or two months of membership do you?) I would also need to be fully satisfied with the service, the support, the quality of servers and the history and reliability of the admin and his or her staff.

I have only found one membership site that I have been willing to place my sites on their server. It’s a great bonus to get hosting in a membership site provided you are happy to use it.

In the internet marketing niche there is a daily arrival of new products; you must be getting several announcements in your email everyday. So, what is good and what is bad? What do you need and what do you not need? How useful is the software, ebook or etc in real terms, not just what the email promotion or sales letter say? A cool membership site will have some of these new arrivals as free downloads for members plus a forum thread dedicated to unbiased appraisal of the newly released products. Believe me some of the so called revolutionary products have failed dismally on appraisal in one membership site I belong to.

I would also like to see a section on training to do with the niche I am involved in. If there are modules available or at least threads in the forum detailing strategies that can be implemented then that’s great.

Although there is nothing wrong with belonging to several membership sites within the same niche realistically you cannot spend a lot of time at all of them; you’ll naturally find the one or two that you are most comfortable with. Additionally if you are paying for membership you want to get your moneys worth and any way how many could you afford to join?

One particular membership site I am a paid up member of and find extremely good value for money is Rich-Jerks.com Its got absolutely nothing to do with ‘The Rich Jerk’ but is run by Noah Fleming who is a great hands on admin. Every week several new plr packages are uploaded for our taking and comes with unlimited hosting on very fast servers. There’s a great forum too
