Author: First of all I just want to say thank you very much to everyone who contributed answers to the questions I asked about my potential membership site. The feedback I received was amazing and has inspired me to create something that will be tailor made to exactly meet your aspirations to reach your income goals.
Here is an outline about what the membership site will be about..
Membership Goal:-
To get every member earning $100+ a day income from adsense.
What The Membership Will Be About:-
It will include detailed instructions on what steps are needed. These will be tailored to the level of experience and expertise each member has. In other words, no matter whether you are a newbie or experienced you will get your own plan of action to reach $100 a day in adsense.
It won’t JUST be a set of pdf’s, tutorials and videos to let you get on with but it will be an interactive plan of action.
I want this membership to be very different to anything else out there and as such, it will require that members follow the plan and they will have tasks that have to be achieved each week. (tough love).. They will be reasonable tasks suited to your lifestyle, experience and free time.
I will probably introduce some sort of team structure as well so that members can interact online and keep each other motivated.
Adsense is the main focus of the membership but it is important to diversify income into other areas like affiliate marketing and info product creation. This will probably be structured as add on modules. Once again it will be tailored to members experience and expertise.
This is just the bare bones of what the membership will be about and it is up to me now to put the flesh on those bones and structure it properly. There will also be many benefits like monthly downloads of WP themes, niche research, content for starters. I will also look at creating useful tools, plugins and services for the membership. If you have any ideas about what you would like to see from the membership then please let me know.
As for the price of the membership, I haven’t decided yet but it will be affordable and will certainly be worth the money you invest initially. The whole point of the membership is to get everyone earning $100 a day and more, its not just an aspiration, it is the ACTUAL PURPOSE of the membership. It won’t be for the faint hearted, it is for people who are willing to work hard and not just learn. The mentality will be more like a bootcamp than a school but I promise it will be fun also.. If you are willing to put in the graft, you will reach your income goals!
Hey Steve,
I really like your membership plan and trust that you will do great. However I have a question and a piece of advice regarding to the pricing of the membership.
My question is: Are you going to help people with their existing sites or will you be starting fresh with them in deciding the niche, and taking it up from there?
Another question: Are you just going to work with blog structure?
And now the advice: In my personal view, for some 100 a day is too much to even think of (specially people like me who was stuck at less than one a day for more than a year before i finally managed to break through) and when they’ll see your membership, they will take it as any other quick money making things out there. So my suggestion, let the person keep their goals themselves, ask them the amount of time they can realistically put in daily. Ask them what they do for living (or if they are a student) so if they are starting with a blog, you can suggest them niches (and help them in the proper keyword search) that they may be able to write on (saving their articles cost). And as for your charge out rates, I think it should be based on their targets. Let me expalin it a little.
Say they aim to get at 10 a day, meaning, 300 a month. So you break this into goals like 5 a day till the end of first month and then 10 a day till the end of second. So instead of charging out the complete fee outright in the start, you can charge them as they achieve their goals. And the fee too should not be fixed, instead it should be a multiple of monthly earnings that the person is aiming at. Say if the aim was to get at 5 a day in the first month, so you can ask for 2x (monthly earnings) so USD300, or any other multiple you feel is appropriate. And then when you help him reach the second target of ten a day, you can ask for another payment on similar basis.
This said, however, this pricing strategy (which is great and practical) may result in a little bias from your side because you will have more reason to accept people with high aims (which will obviously be more difficult to achieve too).
I think i deserve a free membership for the priceless advice, haha.
Good luck.

Hi John,
Thanks for your opinion, a lot of what you say makes sense and I will take this on board.
Hi Steve,
Is there any notification list that I can subscribe to?
I would like to join your membership program. Ready to take action!!
Thanks for putting this together.

Hi, started following on Warrior. It is good to see you want to kick in the ‘boot camp’ mentality. The number one reason people fail online is LACK OF ACTION! Kudos!
Hey Steve,
No update on the race against time for more than a week?!?!?! Your blog is home to many browsers and a lot of eyes are set on you… What’s new and happening?
Hi John, sorry for the lack of updates, no excuses just been amazingly busy with everything the past week. I will be updating today.
Great.. found this also at WF and since adsense is part of my “BIG picture” thought I’d take some notes. Just trying to master WordPress at the moment.. techno, is not my strong point… Wonderful undertaking Steven, and thanks for sharing.
