With a little bit of resourcefulness and ingenuity, it is possible to start a subscription site on absolutely no budget.
FusionStealth is a new product I discovered that is perfect for running a subscription based membership site, although that is not exactly what it was created to be. The idea is that you have 100% control of your network, and who you give access to, and once you have signed up you can communicate with those who have access to your account on the system, almost like your own private social network. Absolutely perfect for the enterprising Internet Marketer.
Once you have signed up for an account, all you need to do is figure out what sort of subscription you will be providing to people, and what it includes. Maybe it involves access to eBooks and videos. Maybe it is a subscription service, and people subscribe to be able to ask you for advice. Whatever the case, spend some time carefully planning and gathering the necessary materials that make up your subscription, and then post them to your account for subscribers to access.
Once your product is packaged and ready to go, it is time to start signing people up. The advantage of this system is that you can create many different sales pages, experiment with advertising, pricing and more. For accepting payments, Paypal will allow you to set up reoccurring billing with no upfront costs. Whenever someone has signed up, just add them to your Stream, and they will get access to your products. Not exactly a revolutionary concept, but an easy way to build a long term stream of income on a zero budget.
