If you want to make money with your membership site, you have to get it noticed. The faster the word gets out, the faster you'll begin making money. Here are five strategies to get you noticed faster than a streaker at a soccer game.

Provide Free Information. This is a superior strategy to get folks to your web site, however you have a fine line to walk. Too much free info and there's no benefit to joining your site. Not enough and you don't give potential members enough of a complimentary preview.

Of course, if you don't offer quality information then you'll lose potential members anyway. So make sure that the information you offer is fantastic. You want your free information to be so good that visitors pass it along to others.

Give folks a peek inside with a free trial membership. Trial memberships hook readers! Not only do they instill confidence, once customers get an inside look at all that you have to offer they will want to sign up immediately. Consider also, making certain items on your website available only to 'permanent subscribers.' This type of feature works as a tease. Of course, don't overdo it. You want trial members to be able to access a lot of your site.

Viral Marketing Miracles. Give free reports and even ebooks to affiliates to give away. This report will include the affiliate's unique ID and any sales made through that report will be credited to the affiliate. It's a great way to get people to spread the word about your membership site.

Remember that if you want to drive traffic to your site, the ebooks and reports that you give away MUST be excellent.

Article Marketing Mania. Article directories are a wonderful way to drive traffic to your membership site. They help to establish your credibility and they give potential subscribers a peek inside the offerings at your site. Also use article marketing to help build a top notch opt-in list.

Most forums, chat rooms, and even blogs will allow you to place a link back to your website in your signature link.
