Those ridiculously creative addon developers for RAP Addons - Bill (of RAP-Extras) and Erin (of NetKickStart) have teamed up to build this insanely easy-to-use Kunaki Addon which seamlessly integrates RAP and Kunaki's order shipment process.

It handles everything... and I'm absolutely LOVIN' the features they ingeniously built into this thing, like:

• Auto-shipment upon ordering
• One-token on the download page handles data collecting, s&h selection for customer, and ordering!
• Admin s&h options that will make you smile - read about this on the product page!
• One-click create a new re-shipment order from a previous order
• Allowance for adding notes about shipment
• Allowance for manual fulfillment - that's right.. you don't even need to use Kunaki at all!
• And much, much more...

You can read more about it on their very simple, feature-listing product page here:

Physical CD/DVD product delivery is absolutely huge for so many reasons, but to name a few it:

• Increases value of product
• Gives you more opportunities for grabbing customers
• Allows for you to add profits to your bottom line
• Enables you to use this for Micro-Continuity programs

...you get the idea, right?

And you have to know in advance that this add-on is like every other addon produced by RAP-Extras -

Seamlessly simple to install, integrate and use as this addon is like a full-scale web-application built upon a slick easy to use addon interface that, in my personal opinion, is absolutely slick and extremely simple to use!

Still, you may be wondering how to find and pick a profitable topic or niche to build your membership website around.

Almost everyone is good at SOMETHING. People often fail to realize how much "real-world" experience they actually have about all kind of topics. Car and truck customizing, knitting, sports, home repair, cooking and family recipes, home remedies and natural health... all of these are FANTASTIC topics for a membership based website.

Let's say you have a real knack for fixing computers... Your membership web site might feature your unique tips and troubleshooting advice about upgrading your operating system or upgrading hardware. It might include resources and reviews of the best products for computer repair and maintenance. You'd be able to sell goods and services related to computers. The membership site might also include community features, like a forum where those interested in computer repair can gather and chat about registry errors, and installation guides, or report bugs and problems with commonly used software.

When you start thinking about possible membership website topics, it's a good idea to take a look around and do some research by looking at other websites in the same market. You can come up with a clever spins-off from exisiting websites that "fill holes" in what's currently being offered online. Perhaps there's lots of products being sold but little training for using those products. Maybe you find a variety of how-to information but very little in the way of packaged solutions someone can use right away.

Continuing with our example using Computer Repair, you could subscribe to a few computer magazines, join some newsletters from other sites, and register on a few different discussion boards and forums. You could join social networks and monitor what's being talked about by the market at large.

Once you've settled on your topic or niche and you feel good about demand, you're going to need to settle on exactly what you're going to offer your members and how you're going to deliver that content to them. You can offer reports and written guides, screencast video training and demonstrations, podcasts and audio interviews... the only limitation is your imagination. You can easily outsource the work that you're not good at or don't want to have to do yourself.

A valuable membership website can also provide its members with all kinds of incentives and opportunities to earn rewards or money for referring new members. They can promote your membership website using your own pre-written reprint articles, blog posts, coupon code discounts for products and services you offer, special reports and ebooks, private forums for VIP members and affiliates only -- whatever else you can dream up to give them as an incentive to spread the word will only help your membership website grow and become more popular.

In the case of paid membership sites, the money is not in the EMAIL list, the money is in the SUBSCRIBER list -- all of them are not only buyers, but they are also fans and a community. Powerful.

Why then would any marketer worth their salt not move full steam ahead into building a continuity program or membership site?

The answer is something all of us contend with in one way or another...

FEAR = False Expectation Appearing Real

• Fear of not being able to find a profitable niche that will support a membership site.
• Fear of the technology involved in the membership site up and running.
• Fear of not having enough quality content to attract subscribers.
• Fear of having to continually come up with new quality content to keep subscribers happy.

FEAR OF FAILURE is the single most common reason why marketers deny themselves the opportunity to take advantage of this powerful business building model.

Even those who really WANT to start a membership site are easily paralyzed by fear of perceived or imaginary problems that keep them from taking action.

People are and do pay for quality online content. As a matter of fact, "pay-for-content" is a major internet money making model.  Business content, personals, dating, and entertainment are the hottest niches, but people are looking for even more targeted information via subscription and are ready to click "buy now".

Selling online content by way of a password protected website has become big business. Not only are membership sites relatively easy to set up, but the start-up and operating cost is minimal. Work from home entrepreneurs and big businesses alike are tapping into this new-found revenue source.

Less than nine percent of online users currently pay for online content. This means the market is wide open for the savvy entrepreneur. Paying for content in 2004 was more than 5 times what it was in 2005. Those who capture the market first in their niche will have the obvious advantage and it's an international market, so anyone can play.

One of the great things about starting a membership site is you can take your hobby, specialized knowledge or profession and turn it into a profitable business. Your challenge will be finding exclusive content to fit your niche. There are many new private label content options available now that enable you to create and edit your own unique content for your membership. Another plus of starting a paid site is that you can start it part time but it could develop into full time; all the while making money for you as you build your business.

Planning for and setting your site up for auto-responders, automated sign-ups, credit card processing, automated cancellations, etc is all part of a successful membership website. Starting and running a membership site can be a lot of fun and very exciting, however you need to know what's involved in setting one up, and then managing it effectively.

This whole process can seem a bit daunting. However, as complex as this seems, many companies offer a low cost, easy-to-use software solution. This makes it possible for almost anyone to start and market a membership site at a very low cost. Also, many new online courses and e-books have been developed that teach you everything you need to know about starting a membership site. You can take advantage of the experiences and mistakes of others who are now running successful membership websites.

Just a few short years ago, other than business, personals and entertainment, you didn't see many paid membership sites. Today, however, it is becoming the norm and not the exception. Starting and managing a membership site may be the perfect home business idea for you. Do your own research and find out how you can profit from starting a membership site.

Standard features are those features that most membership sites have because they carry with them common needs of all membership sites such as having Login ID or passwords to protect certain areas of the site that are private and for members only, or automated renewal reminders that go out so that members won't be surprised by the arrival of the date to renew their membership, and also content formats and membership subscription types, as well as the ability to handle account suspension and cancellations. Other standard features include the ability to handle data exports and reports.

Advanced features include the ability to have Real Time member tracking, and the ability for members to be able to initiate account creation and a responsive shopping cart system.

Payment features should include the ability to accept payment from payment services such as PayPal, or major credit cards. The website should be able to integrate a shopping cart as well as a forum so that the members can interact with each other.

Your shopping cart should have features that your membership will need especially if you have an international membership such as flexible tax models, the ability of members to manage their User Accounts, having the ability to manage their shipping address, and have the shopping cart in multiple languages.

Since most membership sites have content in various formats, products, tools and resources it is important to have catalog features that can encompass all that your membership will utilize as they grow as well as the things that administration will need as the membership site grows. These features may be the capability to have an unlimited number of products and categories, the ability to search for products, resources and tools, the ability to handle downloadable products.

There are also membership sites that offer both free and paid memberships so this is a unique feature. Free members can start to use and understand the value of the site before deciding to become a paid member.

One area of features that definitely makes a membership site unique is what the site has to offer as far as specialized content such as articles, ebooks, audio and video materials, forums and chat rooms or a discussion board. What kinds of resources and tools are offered on the site for the members to use that enhances their experience?
