If you have been around the make money online world or even simply trying to make some quick cash, you may have noticed that membership sites are one of the most lucrative business models especially when it comes to internet marketing.

In fact creating my own free membership site is one of my projects for the year 2010. So why I am creating it for free? Simple. My goal is to simply build my own list out of those folks who will sigh up for the freebies on that membership site.

You see, free membership sites offer a powerful way to build a mailing list, because visitors prefer them to other free offers, such as eBooks or software tools.

Can you make money offering freebies? This is where the popular phrase “money is in the list” applies. You can offer free valuable gifts in exchange for their email add and other contact details.

You may not be making an upfront income but you can later make money from the list of targeted folks who download your free gifts.

Another beauty of having your own list is that you can be earning a recurring income as long as you can offer them really useful and valuable products or services.
