Membership sites are continuity income. A customer signs up once and
receives their username and password. You get paid for as long as they stay
a member. They have to act to cancel. When they cancel, their username
and password are cancelled.
If they do nothing, they will continue to be billed. You can find out all
about them and just how profitable they can be in the

Let's say you don't sell products at all. You may be in a service business.
You could be an Internet consultant. Well, you could start your monthly
coaching program. They get one hour a month with you for x amount of
money per month.
A search engine optimizer could have their Top 20 positioning monthly
service. For x dollars per month, they'll keep you ranked in the top 20 on
the keyword phrase you've selected.
If you're a tree trimming service, then set up a monthly billing program
which has you come out and trim their trees four times per year and as
long as they're making the monthly payments they can get emergency
service free.
You could use the same idea in a carpet cleaning business. The customers
get their carpets cleaned x amount of times per year and all they have to pay
is a low monthly bill of _____. If they need emergency service during their
contract, you'll send someone over free.
OK Let's say you're just an affiliate and don't have any products or
services of your own. You can still profit from continuity income.
Simply sign up for affiliate programs who do provide continuity income
such as web hosting, autoresponders, shopping carts, membership sites, CD
clubs, auto ship programs, etc.
Just because you sell a one time product or service doesn't mean you can't
earn money from continuity programs.
In my own personal business I have my own membership site, a shopping
cart system, and a CD Coaching Club which all earn me continuity income
