"HELP!!!! Please Save Me From Membership Website Software HELL!
Dear Internet Marketers,
I need your help to determine which is the easiest to use and fastest to duplicate membership site software for the "In Search Of Heroes Program." I have been working with the three primary membership site software scripts:
1. Butterfly Marketing
2. Amember
3. Membergate
The more I work with each one, the more confused I get regarding which payment gateway to use:
1. Paypal
2. Authorize.net
Should I use Wordpress, Blogger or Movabletype blogs?
Should I just eliminate the forum option as Frank Kern suggests in his Mass Control educational series that it is only a place for whiners and complainers?
How do I integrate them into the membership sites to facilitate as much social interaction as possible?
My goal is to have separate membership sites for all the major areas of life where heroes are making a positive difference in their:
1. Families
2. Churches
3. Communities
4. Businesses
5. Local governments
It is time to spread GOOD NEWS about the awesome role models that are all around us in our:
1. Families
2. Schools
3. Churches
4. Businesses
5. The military
I am so sick and tired of politicians and business leaders saying one thing and doing another. Personal conduct does matter? Dishonest and covert activities do affect your business life...no matter what those who have been caught doing wrong say.
Young people need good role models who are honest, courageous and have personal integrity...where their words match their actions.
The goal of the heroes program has always been to help students learn how to sell their ideas and products to make money for themselves, family and community through copywriting and the sale of digital products.
Now that many families are experiencing financial challenges because of the increases in the cost of living, including gas, education and basic necessities and job losses, etc., NOW, more than ever, the entire family needs to work together to generate income and pool their resources. Working together, they can create the life of their dreams.
The Internet is a perfect vehicle for the family to work together to generate much needed income.
After interviewing so many successful Internet marketers and business leaders, I had an epiphany recently.
Two of my economic Heroes, who like Frank Kern, were sued by greedy government officials, opened my eyes to how the world really works.
They speak from personal experience. Their $350,000,000.00 company was severely damaged by the government's unbridled efforts to steal the money, destroy their company and slander their good names.
These economic heroes, for over 33 years, taught doctors, business executives and individuals how to legally:
1. Pay only their fair share of taxes
2. Protect their assets from greedy, litigious criminals
3. Create foundations to permanently endow their family members
4. Set up fully endowed, self-directed, non-profit foundations to perpetuate the social and spiritual values they felt were important...while they were still alive.
After fighting the governmental forces, with its unlimited resources and army of brain-washed foot soldiers, for 4 years to a standstill, they finally proved their innocence and the righteousness of their cause.
But at what cost...the crippling of their business, loss of income and the emotional pain and distress caused by the disintegration of their personal and business relationships. Few of their friends or business associates could afford to stand with them against the unbridled threats of prosecution and unmitigated slander of their good names by out-of-control governmental officials.
Still, like Frank Kern, they refused to give up on their own dreams. They are working hard to do what they love, restore their good names and replenish their depleted bank accounts.
They are using this financial, social and emotional catastrophe to motivate them to achieve even greater levels of success.
They told me there is no satisfaction in witnessing the fall from grace of those that unjustly persecuted them. There is no consolation when the public officials, at the highest levels of government, that abused their power and betrayed the confidence of those who voted them into office, lose their jobs. There is no joy when the wrong-doers descend into the ignominy of so many "disgraced public official HELL!"
These incredible men have been valuable mentors and a source of real inspiration. I hope they will allow me to tell their story and share their amazing heroes' interviews...even now as they consider suing the government and the guilty government officials and their attorneys who attempted to destroy their lives and company.
They deserve to recover their financial losses and restore their good names.
It is a testament to the indomitable human spirit that they still continue to teach individuals, business executives and directors of non-profits how to achieve financial independence and personal significance.
Everyone needs to know how to legitimately save money by paying the exact amount of taxes required by law, protect their assets from people who make a living stealing the hard earned assets of others and set up endowed, fully-funded foundations to permanently provide for their families and perpetuate their beliefs.
They told me in strict confidence, "The only way to create social change is to first make a lot of money. Then, give the politicians and government officials some of it so they will protect their cash cow and implement legislation that will create the social changes you desire."
"Nothing happens until you have the financial resources to pay others who are only interested in wealth and power to implement social change and protect you from the opposing forces who want to steal your money for themselves. Why do you think politicians spend millions of dollars to get a job that pays $50,000 to $200,000 a year?"
After working on the "In Search Of Heroes Program" for 16 years, I am again firmly convicted that students and families need to make money so they can pay for food, clothing, shelter and transportation, education and health care before they can implement local social changes. They need financial resources to fund local projects that are desperate for funding.
Let us work together to end the begging and hopeful, watchful, waiting for money from the government and philanthropic organizations. It is time for real social heroes, that are forging the destiny of their own lives, families and communities to have the financial resources to help themselves and others in their community.
The best membership site model is critical to the success of local "In Search Of Heroes" programs. The membership sites are going to be the primary vehicle I believe will make the largest difference in each community.
When everyone works together to generate desperately needed income that can be used intelligently by those intimately familiar with local problems and needs, everyone benefits.
Through the promotion of local heroes and their businesses, by the students who learn copywriting and online and offline marketing, the business owners who deserve to make the most money will become wealthy. They deserve to be recognize as local heroes because they provide the best services and invest back into their local community.
Local business heroes should have a definite marketing advantage over those interested only in ripping off their customers. "Angie's List" is a good example of the social involvement when friends and neighbors identify the individuals who deserve your business.
All the most reliable marketers suggest we create multiple, integrated membership sites. I am taking their advice, but, the membership software is so diverse and complicated.
What is the most intuitive, simple and cost-effective membership site software for generating money from the sale of digital products and online and offline services.
What are your suggestions? Which one should I use? What are the benefits of each?
I appreciate your help. I am getting ready to launch the "In Search Of Heroes" membership site where I will share the Internet marketing, asset protection and personal significance wisdom of all the Internet, social, economic, military, copywriting and business Heroes I have interviewed.
I would love to hear your thoughts on any of the membership site software programs you are familiar with and have used yourself.
Sincerely yours,
Ralph Zuranski
