We often refer to an iGrOOp that is used to collect fees for membership as a "membership site".
You are probably curious to know how much money you can expect to make with iGrOOps.com. Through this unique opportunity, you have the potential to create a significant income, but unlike most other business opportunities, your relative investment is very small. iGrOOps sites also offer a solid alternative, and many advantages for crowdfunding projects, too!With iGrOOps you have the capacity to charge for three different levels of membership and still allow any content you designate to be available for public viewing. Additionally, you have the capacity to set up your own webstore and offer your own products - including digital downloads! Don't forget about online advertising and sponsors either - these can also be significant revenue streams. We will also be announcing our own affiliate program in the near future offering yet another revenue stream.
Not everyone uses iGrOOps to "make money". There are many uses for iGrOOps, so if earning a profit is not a goal of yours, you can skip this section. Also keep in mind that in order to charge for membership fees, you must have the "business" package or one higher.
Income From Your Own Membership Sites. For years, people have been earning significant income from running their own membership sites. While some membership sites never make any money, others do extremely well financially. While it is hard to give an average or exact number, we know of customers making just enough to pay for the group and others who do make a great living by running just a single membership site.We, too, have heard people claiming “millions per month” in income, but we have found these to be very unique circumstances, often with questionable products, marketed to a well-established list that takes several years and/or cost millions of dollars to build. While the sky is the limit when it comes to financial success of your group, we suggest aiming for a realistic and attainable goal, and then once achieved, building on that success.
