Once your membership site is set up and running, your first concern should be how to gain new members on a consistent basis as well as retaining existing members.
With that in mind, it is imperative that you understand how important the content you provide will be in gaining and retaining these members. Most likely they joined your site in the first place because of your valuable content. Providing inferior content at this point will do nothing but disappoint existing members as well as prospective members.
At some point, as your membership site grows, you will most likely reach the point where your duties and chores outweigh the time you have to accomplish them. If you reach this point…consider yourself lucky…that means you are growing…and that’s always a good thing. But if you reach this point and don’t address this problem, the only thing that will suffer is your membership site.
So, what’s the easy answer to this dilemma? The simple answer is to outsource some of your duties to others. In the case of your content, you can outsource to ghostwriters.
Ghostwriters have been around a long, long time. Chances are most of the great speeches you’ve listened to in the past have been prepared and written by a ghostwriter. They are usually the faceless, anonymous entity that transforms the thoughts and ideas of another into something that can be marketed to the general public.
No longer are ghostwriters only for novels and speeches, but with the explosion of information on the Internet, they have become highly sought after resources for great content.
Not only will a ghostwriter alleviate your overload of work and related stress, but hiring a ghostwriter or SEO article writer is a good idea for your membership site because they bring fresh perspectives and new ideas to the content of your site.
A skilled writer can provide new topics or a different viewpoint on the topics that you’ve already covered. In addition, by being on the outside looking in at your membership site, they often can see what is appealing about your membership site and find a way to highlight it for others.
As a general rule, ghostwriters perform twice as much research as someone who already knows the subject matter. Not only do they need to know the details of what your membership site has to offer, but they must realize the style, tone, and thought process of its creator.
With a little effort and strong communication between you and your ghostwriter, they can quickly become another voice for your membership site. Many times their voices are used in email newsletters, notes as well as blogs for the members to read and make a connection.
Perhaps one of the most overlooked reasons why having a ghostwriter is a good idea for your membership site is that they can interview interesting parties to make the content more appealing. Most quality ghostwriters are well versed in the interview arts and can often bring new insights and information to the forefront of an interview.
If you think about it, hiring a ghostwriter to write at least some of your content can be a great way to free up some valuable time that you can better put to use achieving some of the other important aspects of your membership site such as the marketing…and potentially put more money in your pocket.
With the explosion of Internet opportunities there is no shortage of ghostwriters, but as with all things, you must do your homework to achieve the best results.
There are bidding sites you can use as well as sites that you can hire a ghostwriter outright. Make sure you ask to see the quality of their work ahead of time (check grammar and spelling etc.) and never make full payment until the work is complete and you are happy with the results.
Finding the perfect ghostwriter could be the single most important element to relieving your stress and retaining your enthusiasm…which ultimately will reflect on your membership site…gaining members or retaining members.
