Oops……

When I made my last post about the great video program from the Wacky ladies, I meant to leave a link in case you haven’t seen them before. They have specials - every Wednesday - often for not much more than a coffee and cake - so here is the link in case you missed it.

Open source projects are basically software that are developed in part or in whole by the public. If you want specialised software, check to see if it available first.

Although open source software isn’t exactly like free software, they’re still free to use.It is really amazing to see at the rapid development of the open source community, and the features and functionality within these open source projects. If they love what they’re doing, people simply work harder and better. Many of these open source software easily beats retail alternatives.

Here are some examples of great open source software. This is a list of Free software / open-source software packages: computer software available at Wikepedia.

• OpenOffice.org - Very similar functionality as the (expensive) Microsoft Office packages, contains file compatibility to the MS Office suite.
• Scribus - Powerful PDF creator/editor much like the very expensive Adobe Acrobat.
• osCommerce - A powerful e-commerce and full-feature online store management software. Low budget for your online business? This is worth checking out.
• Media Player Classic - One of my favorite video/audio media player.
• FFDshow - Great multi-platform video/audio decoding/encoding software that also supports DivX and Xvid formats.
• Mozilla Firefox - Quite possibly one of the best Web browser out there. If you ever worry about spyware and online security issues, get Firefox.
• WordPress - A great blog writing platform that million of us love and use.
• BitTorrent - The famous and popular P2P file sharing program.
• phpBB - Looking to start an online message board/forum? phpBB is a powerful open source, fully customizable bulletin board package.

The list can go on and on. I can’t even recall how many open source software I’m using right now. Here are some useful links to search for open source/free software in many different categories:

• Wikipedia’s Open Source Software List
• SourceForge.net - World’s large open source development website, hosting hundred of thousands of open source software

(What?!! I thought they were a good idea?”, I hear you say!!)
1.     Traditional membership sites require too much work setting up initial setup. When you are writing a dozen or so original pieces of content to “stockpile” in your member’s area, getting training materials in place, setting up a forum, installing scripts, assembling a “library” of materials and other things most membership sites include, it’s just too time-consuming for the average person to ever get in place.
2.     Traditional membership sites have built-in pressures to create content.  The demands of updating your site 3-5 times per week with new content requires discipline that most of us just don’t possess.
3.     Traditional membership sites require pricey and complicated scripts. You have to manage passwords, protect your member’s area, keep up with who’s active and who’s stopped paying you, manage your content and at least two dozen other things. This requires a membership site “script”. Inexpensive ones are either inadequate or incompatible; others with all the extras are way too expensive (thousands of $$$$)

4.     Traditional membership sites demand a large investment of time. You have a forum to moderate, cancellations to process, content to add, technical problems to troubleshoot, password problems to fix, and a variety of other tasks that usually get left out of the “salesletter” for a product or service trying to convince you to start a membership site.
BUT The Easiest Way To Create Residual Wealth Is To Start A “Fixed-Term Membership” Site

There is a much easier, more effective - just as profitable - way to start and run your own membership site that *will* be the “next big thing” because of its results. I call this kind of subscription program a “fixed-term membership” (FTM) site. Let me quickly explain what it is…

A “fixed-term membership site” (FTM) consists of weekly content shared via autoresponder to paid members for a specified period of time.

In a nutshell, here’s what you’d do in running your own Fixed Term Membership Site…

1. Write ONE 2-3 page article lesson every week.
2. Load this article to an autoresponder for subscribers to access.
3. Sell access to the series, which would last 3 - 6 - 9 or 12 months.

It’s that simple.

And the benefits are the exact opposite of the barriers for traditional membership sites…
1.     Fixed-Term Membership (FTM) sites can be setup in 48 hours or less! All you need to get started is one sales page, one article, one recurring billing processor (I.E. Clickbank or Paypal) and one autoresponder. Do you see how this can REALLY happen for you! Not “sometime in the future” … but, quickly! That can be this week, already taking orders.
2.     Fixed-Term Membership (FTM) sites are easy to maintain! Instead of struggling to keep up with 3-5 fresh articles to your membership site week after week after week … all you need to do is write ONE new article every week for a short amount of time. And, here’s the best part, once you have your articles written … it’s evergreen! That means, long after you’ve moved on to other projects, you can still add new customers to the membership site to access the series you’ve already completed!
3.     Fixed-Term Membership (FTM) sites require noscripts to get an FTM site up and running. All it takes to actually “run” the technical side of your site is an autoresponder account and recurring billing (Clickbank or Paypal) and that’s it. It is so simple that anyone can set this up within hours.
4.     Fixed-Term Membership (FTM) sites require very little time! The  only real investment of time you’ll have each week is to write one simple article to add to your autoresponder for members to receive.

While the process is very simple and you could get started right now on your own, wouldn’t you rather learn some amazing methods of turning this idea into a thriving money-maker for you?

I thought so.

That’s why I’m going to ask you a simple question …
