What are the most profitable membership based sites, not including dating and porn?
 

What are your thoughts on this subject?

my sig :D :1orglaugh

Your sig says dating, he said besides adult and dating.

I had a site with Bad Cops, but cant tell you results since we never released it to the
public to market, but i believe it would have done well. We also had an up coming vid
of S.W.A.T. take overs.

Things that are questionable will always have an audience, its like the example with a
car crash you see on the highway, you know its fucked up but you still slow down to
take a look.

pharmacuticals

but they arent really considered memberships..

I realize..

classmates.com makes decent money. Membership-based sites based on school affiliations.

Lexis-Nexis is membership based as well.

Basically, you can make $ off any site that collects information that people use daily or quote from or foster community they value enough to pay for.

im sure roommates.com pulls in some decent money, personally ive bought two memberships in the past 2 years

I have to say desktop strippers. This is not porn, we even have a 'mainstream' (read non nude) version of it at www.virtuagirls.com
Still converts and retain more than the average porn website.

not sure on that one...dating and adult are all I know:)

lotta fitness and body building sites out there, might be another idea

I've used that and similar services as well

it didnt work out for be either times :(

same :1orglaugh

I cant believe that noone realizes how many HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of paid subscribers that the Sports Sites have....ESPN.COM, FOXSPORTS.COM, hell, I am even a paying member of my local newspapers sports section :)

TopBucks of course check out all the great porn and mainstream products...

newstreams for sure. cnn, foxnews, espn...

roommates.com is a great project/venture to operate. I would love to run something
of that nature.

sites that target companies :thumbsup
you can ask higher recurring membership fees

Rex's sites convert !
I didn't know you had a membership section with non-nude ! Wow
Hit me up bud it's been a while

stock / trading tip sites ?

that site makes an absolute killing...

Lots of work to do something like that tho (and I bet it was far from cheap iether)

Yep, street.com, briefing.com and trendfund.com.

Online Casino and Poker sites :2 cents:

Yep, that idustry is huge too. Much money to be made :thumbsup

Every major industry has a site that requires paid subscriptions. The only thing about that is most of the time the industry leader trade mag or service that has been around for years is the one who develops the site that they subscribe to.

For instance, in the music industry it's Billboard their Billboard Bulletin costs several hundred a year and they have several thousand subscribers. Then there's Soundscan (the sales reporting tool) and BDS (the radio airplay tool) that both cost several thousand per subscription yearly.

There's lots of money in business subs. Look at Bloomberg. He's a billionaire. His stock reporting tool was nothing but an early internet terminal.

Why do you think i said i would love to operate one? :winkwink:
