Where do you start when you are wondering how to create a subscription based website? With the product of course! What can you offer which would be beneficial to your customers? Most people don’t have a product which people will pay you for over and over again. Fortunately, you don’t need your own products and you can use a business model known as affiliate marketing to sell other people’s subscription products from a website.
How To Create A Subscription Based Website
There’s a few things you should consider when choosing subscription products to promote. Ideally you should choose digital products which have international appeal. Digital products let anyone access your products worldwide and have minimual costs involved with storage and delivery. This means product owners can pass more of the profit on to the affiliate marketer (you).
Subscription based digital products include things like:
- Online training platforms
- Hosting providers
- Auto-responders – (email delivery service)
- Website Design Packages
- Other online software
What’s great about most of these kinds of services is that you can promote them from a website and earn regular commissions from subscription services. This means you don’t need to build your own subscription products, which would present a lot of problems.
How To Create A Subscription Based Website
So how do you create a subscription based website then? Simply create a website and direct your visitors to affiliate offers which offer susbcription commissions. Many affiliate products also come with banners, landing pages and sales pages.
This means you can use all these materials on your own website. You can join a subscription based affilate program which will give you a ready made affiliate website. You can set it up with a few simple steps. Access the training platform through this video course and get:

Traffic To Your Website – The Key To Making Money Online
Once you have a website up and running you need to promote it. Even with the best products and a ready made sales funnel you still need to promote your website to get customers to your products. There are literally billions of websites floating around the internet and all are competing for the attention of customers. Unless you actively promote your website, no one is going to see it.
Promotion Through Content Creation
Building content is a simple way to promote your website and get the right audience in front of it. You can share your content on social media, and write for your target audience. The more people who see and share your content, the more views it will get. You can also target keywords specifically according to the relative competition on Google for them. See my ebook Niche Blogging For Profit for more detail on how to do this. Also read this article on finding long tail keywords.
You can also create video and upload to YouTube. Whatever you do in terms of content creation, make sure you know your target audience. Creating the right content means you are actively creating value for the people who are most likely to be interested in your products. The wrong content will not make you any sales. Even wih the best content in the world, not all your visitors will become customers. So it is key to keep creating content regularly to build a regular flow of traffic to your website.
Promotion Through Paid Advertising
Paid advertising is a much faster way to get people to see your products. You can use paid advertising to send customers directly to products too. You don’t need to have a website even. Of course paid advertising is a much more expensive way to promote goods and services online.
However, it can be far more effective than content creation. You can also scale up an advertising campaign very easily if it prooves to be successful. With content creation this isn’t possible. Some content could get many shares and even go viral, but this isn’t something you can control like paid advertising. See my ebook The Ultimate Guide To Online Marketing for more on paid advertising.
Your Own Subscription Based Business
So how to create a subscription based website? As mentioned above you can join a program which will give you a subscription program which you can use to sell. But what if you have your own products to sell? You can easily create a simple website and use Paypal to collect subscriptions for you over the internet. Paypal lets you create simple payment buttons which you can paste onto your website. You can customize your payment buttons through Paypal’s business setup feature once you open an account. Create one off payment buttons or subscriptions. Copy and paste the code into your website.
Why Subscriptions?
This article is called “how to create a subscription based website”. But why sell subscriptions? Why not just sell digital products online. Digital products can earn you 40% commissions as an affilaite marketer. Subscription products are the best because they give your business financial stability. Each customer is giving you an income, not just a single commission.
Subscriptions and Digital Products
The best of both worlds is to sell subscription based digital products. Selling can be automated and scaled with digital products. Subscriptions bring you financial stability, even in a slow month. By selling digital products which also have subscriptions you get the stability of regular commissions and the flexibility of an online business.
