This is where blogging REALLY starts – making blog posts!

So by now you should have a nice pretty blog but the reason people will come to your blog is the content. It’s at the heart of any blog - and without good blog posts, a blog isn’t well…. a blog!

So… how do you create content?

Well there are several options. Ultimately you can create it yourself, use and adapt ready-made content – or outsource it.

The one you choose will largely depend on your time, ability, budget – and what sort of blog it is.

If it’s a niche blog, you should seriously consider outsourcing your blog posts or adapting private label rights material.

If it’s a personal blog, you would probably be best writing the content yourself. After all nobody else can really “be” you.

Famously the American Wallace Wattles in his book “Science of Getting Rich” proclaimed creative visualization as the main technique for realizing one’s goals. Imagery as a technique to manifest, wealth and positive outcomes in life is practiced throughout the world and has many advocates.

Imagery is another term for creative visualization and is the technique which underlies the power of positive thinking that is much used by athletes and sports persons to enhance performance. Practitioners believe in creating a detailed picture or plan of what one wants to happen and to visualize it over and over again with all the senses.

As the imagery is being imagined the practitioners give thought to what they see, what they feel, hear and can smell.

Whilst there are skeptics out there are many individuals you practice the technique and believe it to be a science claiming that its effects are measurable.

Any individuals embarking on a personal development program would be well advised to include imagery as part of the program. Time needs to be set aside each day to undertake imagery.

A quiet area needs to found and the mind needs to be cleared of thought. It is important to bring about a feeling of calm and tranquility and peace.

Regular deep breathing whilst clearing the mind will help. The event or outcome that is to be manifested is then envisaged repeatedly. An individual working towards a promotion could image the event repeatedly or an overweight individual could image themselves slim.

The belief is that the energy within the world will bring these events into being. Imagery is a powerful tool and should be utilized in personal development.

As we have already covered, one of the major challenges with membership sites is actually getting people to stay as members. The number one rule is always try to exceed the expectations of your members and provide value which is greater than the membership fee you are charging.

This means providing quality content each and every month. Give people a reason to stay a member!

As we have also previously mentioned, first impressions count – so make sure that at least the first months content is ready and waiting inside the members area for when the first members join your site.

If you can, also provide bonuses that people can download when they first sign up. You can also regularly provide your members with additional bonuses each month – something which always goes down well because you are providing greater value to your members than what you promised them in the first place.

Another great strategy is to tease people as to what is coming up the following month. Let’s say your membership site is a course, where members get a new lesson each week.

At the end of each lesson, you might want to include something along the lines of “Coming up next week…” and then include a brief description of the following weeks lesson.

Leave them with the feeling that they can’t possible unsubscribe and not see next weeks lesson!

You see this technique being used on TV all the time. At the end of the program, it’ll say ‘Next week…’ and then show a few clips from the following weeks episode. They often leave you on a cliffhanger too – so you MUST watch next week’s episode in order to find out what happens next.

Another way of increasing member retention is to regularly keep in contact with your members. Send them an email every time you add new content to the members area (if you don’t, people will forget about your site or not realize that you have even updated it).

The funny thing about this is that you will find a sudden jump in people unsubscribing when you do this (simply because if they were thinking of cancelling already, they may have forgotten and your email reminds them about your site), BUT over the long term it should increase member retention and make your site more profitable.
