Get More Visitors to Subscribe to Your Membership Sites.
Here is something new to me…
Google's First Click Free program.
This is a neat system, if one can implement it reasonably securely, whereby one can have one's subscription/paid content offered to Google searchers.
The idea is that if a searcher hits your paid for content from Google that they can see that content for free. If the visitor clicks on to additional content then they are presented with a payment/subscription box and they much pay before proceeding further.
Now, there are limitations to this – for example, folks can come back to different pages from Google and still see each of those pages for free but as a way of getting folks into your content other than via a sales page this looks kinda useful. I am thinking that the 'tasters' are unlikely to pay so one is not losing anything to them and one does not have to make the whole of the site's content available to First Click Free.
