Back in the spring I had a brainstorm for a new membership program. I grabbed my virtual notepad and quickly jotted thoughts out and saved the document on my desktop for later. I love those terrific ‘lightbulb’ moments, especially those bulbs that have great long term income potential.

I already own and partner on several membership programs. They provide reliable income month after month which as you can imagine is quite appreciated.

If I had to rely on hundreds of individual sales for the same income, I’d be working a lot harder and most likely spending more to support my efforts.

I launched my brainstorm (Blog Evangelists) this summer. Once again, I opted to partner with the techno-friendly Lynette Chandler. The launch went well and we continue to add new members to our program so for the last three months we have enjoyed a nice boost in income.

There are all kinds of membership/residual income programs that you can create to compliment your existing business. Coaching or consulting, premium newsletters or reports, access to services, access to software, product clubs and more. I blogged this summer about several work at home moms who are operating membership programs – here’s a partial reprint of the list I included there:

• Alice Seba & Mila Sidman launched All Private Label Content
• Alice Seba launched Outsourcing Sweetie and the Sweetie Saturday Report Club
• Michelle Waters launched Product Sellers Club
• Melody Spier and Kit Singleton launched Virtual Assistants Mavens
• Lynette Chandler & I launched Easy Internet Survey
• Crissy Heron Gipson launched Quick and Easy Newsletters
• Melissa Ingold turned Special Report Club into a paid membership site.
• Jenn Cangelosi owns Toy Auction Profits and Boutique Bargains
• Nicole Dean & Darina Loakman launched Shelancers
• Arika Liddiard launched Yummy PLR

Seeing how others are adding residual income to their businesses is very inspiring to me and I hope it is to you as well.

For Additional Learning: Lynette and I created Membership Site Intensive to teach others how to develop and profit from residual income programs.
