Though Personal Development (PD) is a $10 billion industry year over year, it can still be a lucrative niche, as noted by The Balancesmb. To monetize your website, you can promote existing products as an affiliate or create and market your own products. Though it is a crowded space, you can stand out by thinking outside the box and doing more than the obvious features. When it comes to blogging, your main goal should be to lure as many visitors as possible to join your email list. This way, you will interact with them from a narrower angle, using your products to address their specific needs.
Creating a membership continuity program
An effective way to monetize your PD blog is to come up with products and services that generate residual income. You can do this by creating a highly informative coaching program that requires a monthly payment. When crafting your plan, ensure that your products are of a competitive price so that you attract more subscriptions. If your content is rich enough, members will keep paying a recurring fee to access the same.Offering subscription trials is a well known marketing strategy in this space.
Additionally, trials answer a lot of questions that potential subscribers would need to ask before trusting you with their money. Lady Boss, owned by Kaelin Tuell Poulin, owes part of its success to this strategy. It offers a 7-day free trial followed by a paid 28-day challenge filled with rich content that gets real results. Through continued support and accountability, she continues to earn over $100,000 annually.
Hosting live events and webinars
Even if you have the most valuable content in the industry, you still have to reach out to potential customers in all ways possible. One way to achieve this is to host live events on your social media platforms such as Facebook. If you choose to host webinars, there are things you can do to make it successful. Firstly, it is vital to choose a reputable webinar platform that provides multiple options to join and does not have annoying ads.
If you do not have enough funds to buy all the necessary equipment, you can look for a reasonable financing deal. Once you are set, select a topic that interests your audience and engages them during the session. For instance, you can ask questions that initiate interaction every 4-5 slides. Don’t forget to follow up with attendees, thanking them for attending and asking them to rate their experience. Also, send a recording to people who registered but were unable to participate in the session.
The personal development space is crowded, but by making your operations unique, you can make a decent living off it. The trick is to capture new customers through gifts and to build trust and authority with content. Your business will proliferate if you supply customers with a steady stream of quality products and services. Make sure to offer different membership packages and options so that you attract personalities of all kinds.
Another of those topic that reminds me of Shakespeare.
“If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do, chapels had been churches and poor men’s cottages princes’ palaces.”
That doesn’t mean one shouldn’t try but has to know that it will not be easy.
True, I think also that as we spend more time, we get to know of different ways to make something happen. Achieving the results in this space is quite hard, especially till you find the right kind of influence on people. But it it a fascinating field to say the least
