Turn These Paid Membership Site Ideas Into Big Profits

You want to start a paid membership site - you've heard all about its' potential to make residual profits. You may have even read some suggestions on getting started. I've written how important it is to develop a members site on something you love. But, the problem is, if you don't have a clear idea on how to apply what you love to the delivery of a members-only site, then you're stuck on the monopoly board without even a dice to roll. Here are some ideas to get you started:

Fashion tips for professional women aged 30 up, who have a disposable income and an interest in looking good. Maybe they need to present well for their profession, or they want to impress their friends.
Job hunting online in niche areas - do you have some expertise in a niche? Perhaps you could include these special insider tips in your membership site.
Can you connect wannabes with professionals in a chosen niche? As an example, one membership site connects aspiring singer-songwriters with professionals in the music industry.
What are the particular needs of professionals in an area in which you have expertise? It's going to be much easier to target professionals with needs that relate to their business than consumers with only a vague interest in the field. For example, instead of developing a membership site on gardening, what about a site for landscape design professionals?
Moving overseas - there's a lot involved in relocating to a different country. And you can be sure the people involved have money to spend, as it's not a cheap exercise. Even if they are relocating for work, they are probably in well-paid jobs if the company is paying for them.
Travel guide - to a specific country - Do you know another country like a local? Do you have good contacts, or are willing to develop them, so you can deliver to travelers 'insider knowledge' and access to experiences that regular guide books cannot? Done well, this can make for a very successful paid membership site.

Some membership sites will be able to charge more than others, and some will have a greater potential demand. Ultimately though, you have to have some interest in the topic - or enough money that you can outsource all the content development whilst still maintaining the quality of the end result.
