WHAT’S A FIXED TERM MEMBERSHIP (FTM)? And More Importantly... How Can I profit from it!
Fixed-Term Memberships (FTMs) are the pre-paid MVP of the online business world.
These memberships come with a set time period, ranging anywhere from one day to two years or more, and can be set up as non-refundable and non-transferable.
FTMs are a surefire way to increase your monthly income, no matter what you're selling online.
The traditional monthly membership model has its flaws, as members tend to bail after only a few months of an endless subscription.
But with FTMs, you can set a clear end in sight for your members, ensuring that they stick around for the duration of the term.
Building a fixed-term membership site is one of our favorite ways to increase sales.
Whatever you're selling online FTM sites are a super easy way to MASSIVELY boost your monthly income.
If you build a typical monthly membership site which goes on "forever," then each month you send new content to your members, and each month they pay their monthly fee.
Problem is, your members can't see an end to the site - so they bail after about three or four months.
Think about it this way - people love to finish what they've started, and by offering a six-month, nine-month, or twelve-month FTM, you're giving them the chance to do just that.
And the best part is, they'll be paying you a fee every month to do it!
Why A Fixed Term Membership?
A fixed-term membership site is different because you set it up for a fixed term - three months, six months, twelve months, etc.
These are also similar to 'split payment' terms where instead of paying $500 - $1k up front you let your customers pay you monthly over 6 or 12 months at a fixed payment.
We've tested all sorts of these out over the years and work like crazy. (lower refund rates, defaults and higher customer lifetime value)
Example: You upload 6 month's worth of training, or 6 month's worth of PLR content or something else.
When the term ends, the members don't get billed any longer and they don't get any new content.
So what's the benefit of this?
When your members see a clear end in sight, they're more likely to stick around.
So instead of bailing at three months, you can get them to stick around for six months, nine months or more - whatever your term is.
Point is, people like to finish what they've started, which means more money in your pocket for you.
FTMs also come with a hidden benefit - the opportunity to build a valuable customer mailing list.
By offering an FTM, you can not only pull in residual subscription fees each month, but also drive new sales through product recommendations on the backend of your membership site.
What's The Secret To Easy Profits Using FTM?
The secret is to AUTOMATE EVERYTHING so you aren't tied each month to delivering or creating the new content.
How do you do that?
DRIP FEED IT.
So, how do you profit from an FTM? It's simple - offer irresistible benefits and watch the cash roll in.
Charge a higher fee upfront for the duration of the term, and if your benefits are worth it, your customers will be lining up to renew their memberships.
It's like a never-ending cycle of riches, and we like to call it the "FTM money-making machine."
