In order to set up your membership site, you will want to evaluate the different membership scripts available on the market and choose the one that will offer you the most flexibility.

Membership scripts are an important part of a successful subscription site because they handle everything from payment processing, to ensuring that your content is delivered on time, based on your programs schedule.

Membership scripts also make it easier for you to effectively manage and update your website, as most professional membership scripts come bundled with everything from user management tools, to powerful administration options that help you to keep your membership site up and running efficiently.

You want the membership script that powers your website to be flexible, scalable and able to handle a large amount of data. That way, you don't have to worry about any problems later on, when your membership site grows.

Depending on the membership script you choose, many of the most feature laden scripts on the market not only power your membership website, but actually come bundled with CSS based templates, so that you can easily edit the header and footer files and upload a feature-rich website in just minutes.

Before you choose a membership script for your website, you need to identify what kind of offers you plan to implement into your community program, so that you can purchase the right membership script to get the job done.

Being a seller is a lot of responsibility, and sometimes you might feel like you're not doing everything you should be. This simple checklist will help you keep on top of things.

Have you found out everything you possibly could about your items? Try typing their names into a search engine - you might find out something you didn't know. If someone else is selling the same thing as you, then always try to provide more information about it than they do.

Do you monitor the competition? Always keep an eye on how much other items the same as or similar to yours are selling, and what prices they're being offered at. There's usually little point in starting a fixed price auction for $100 when someone else is selling the item for $90.

Have you got pictures of the items? It's worth taking the time to photograph your items, especially if you have a digital camera. If you get serious about eBay but don't have a camera, then you will probably want to invest in one at some point.

Are you emailing your sellers? It's worth sending a brief email when transactions go through: something like a simple "Thank you for buying my item, please let me know when you have sent the payment".

Follow this up with "Thanks for your payment, I have posted your [item name] today". You will be surprised how many problems you will avoid just by communicating this way.

Also, are you checking your emails? Remember that potential buyers can send you email about anything at any time, and not answering these emails will just make them go somewhere else instead of buying from you.

Do your item description pages have everything that buyers need to know? If you're planning to offer international delivery, then it's good to make a list of the charges to different counties and display it on each auction.

If you have any special terms and conditions (for example, if you will give a refund on any item as long as it hasn't been opened), then you should make sure these are displayed too.

Have you been wrapping your items correctly? Your wrapping should be professional for the best impression: use appropriately sized envelopes or parcels, wrap the item in bubble wrap to stop it from getting damaged, and print labels instead of hand-writing addresses. Oh, and always use first class post - don't be cheap.

Ready to take your online freelance career to the next level?

Join as many freelance sites as possible to give yourself access to the larges number of potential clients. The first step upon registering is to create a detailed and complete profile.

Creating a profile is how you advertise yourself on freelance sites. Include your skills and qualifications and past experience as a writer. If allowed, include a link to your website. Include a picture, as it’s a proven fact that freelancers who upload a picture onto their profile get more projects than those without them.

Your profile can also contain past projects you have completed through the site as well as ratings from past clients so it is important to do your best to keep clients happy as a bad rating can damage your chances of winning bids on that site. You have no control over this section usually and so potential clients can see the good as well as the bad ratings and comments.

Each writing site works in a different way and has a slightly different way of operating some make money by charging you a % of the fee you are paid when you win and complete a project through the site, others have membership fees though none of the sites I mention have compulsory fee membership i.e. they are free to join but you are limited to the number of bids you can place, membership gives unlimited bidding and or other advantages. Others charge to contact the client or bid on a project.

It's very difficult to rely on our ability to catch a domain name as it has dropped and register it before someone else does. Furthermore, most of the registrars don't even allow the better domains to be dropped, instead, placing them in online auctions.

This is where backordering comes into play.

With backordering services, you are able to pre-purchase a domain name that is about to expire, as long as the current owner fails to renew it themselves.

However, there is no guarantee you will be given the domain name, even if it expires due to other back ordering services offering the same opportunity to other people who are looking to snag a great domain name that's about to drop.

Still, it definitely increases your chances at being able to scoop up some of the better domain names with existing traffic and page rank.

Chapter 4: Making Money With Public Domain

There are a lot of ways someone can make money with public domain and now that you know where to get your material you need to know how to take that free stuff from the internet and make money with it!

Think about the last time you needed a lot of information about a subject all at once. Yes, you could have used public domain but you didn’t because it would have been a pain to search through all of the resource sites to find that information and put it together for your own resource, or maybe you didn’t know you could.

The bottom line is you’re able to take the content from the public domain and put it together, ready for someone to use. And if you spend your time looking hard enough and do enough research, you can put little packages together that would be centered on a theme.

Of course, with the package you create you have the problem of someone else just taking your hard work, slapping their own label onto it, and repackaging it so they can sell it also. So you should make it difficult for them to just rip off your efforts. You do this through adding value and some of your own content to your product.

Whatever you could add to the package to make it more personal will make your public domain collection a valuable collection and unique to you. That way there would be an advantage to getting the collection from you instead of going directly to the source.

You’ve now added the HTML iFrame application to your Fan page, and it’s time to set up your “reveal tab” so that those visiting your page must click “like” before gaining access to your free giveaway or offer.

Start by visiting your Fan page and click on the “Welcome” link in the left hand sidebar panel. You will be able to create 2 different text boxes, one that appears before someone “likes” your page, and the second box that appears after they have clicked on the “like” button.

If you aren’t familiar with HTML, you can simply type in your message directly into the text boxes on the app page, or if you are able to use Frontpage, Dreamweaver or another HTML editing program, you could create your HTML text boxes in there, copy the code from the “Source View” and then paste it into the text boxes on your Fan Page.

You should now understand the basic structure of a winning product, and if you've completed the steps in the previous chapter, you have your chapter titles and summaries already written.

You also understand the structure of a chapter, from its introduction, middle "meat & potatoes" section, to its ending.

And finally, you are now ready to begin writing your ebook!

You will find that your structure will not only help you write the ebook faster, but keep things organized as you move through the paces.

What you want to do is refer to the questions you've collected as you write each chapter, so that you can use these questions as headlines and sub headlines throughout the content itself.

Headlines help keep your reader focused and breaks up the content. They also help keep moving along, providing structure and guidance for your reader. Think of them as a road map that guides your reader from point A to B.

With every chapter, begin by inserting an introduction, engaging your reader with a question (hook) and answering the question using stories, examples, tips, strategies and "how to" information.
