Members Only Content?

As per shoutbox ideas on trying to get incentive for people to join EB...

What sort of members-only content do you think would work?

Do you think this method would work at all?

Should there be multiple levels of membership that, for a small fee, yield more exclusive content and/or more member priviledges?

Any comments or ideas, people?

Discuss!

Well Gaz, it's a god idea for sure. we just need to think about what 'privelages' members gets and also for those who pay.

We do already have a scheme which is now $10 i think and that payment is for an Extreme Membership.

Extreme Membership

I know some people wont click on that link so here's what it says:

With your Extreme Membership you get the following features which regular members do NOT get:

- No More Ad's
- Extreme Member image under name

- Increase to 200 Pm storage limit instead of the regular 100

- Can create Tournaments In the Arcade

- Can Open/Close Own threads

- Can 'See' Users Who Have Chosen to be Invisible While Online

- Can Use Custom Title

- Doesn't show an edited note at the end of threads or posts

- Bigger Avatar

- Can Upload an Image and/or Animated GIF for Signature

- bigger filesize for signatures

- Can Hide Reputation from Others

- Access to Secret Forum

- 200 point increase in reputation

More features will added on a constant basis based on what you want!

Where do your membership fee's go? They will be used to pay for our ever increasing bandwidth costs, our hosting service, domain registration, and software licensing fees.


Extreme Membership is a one time fee of $10.00 (Reduced Price!)

Note - payment is non-refundable
Please allow up to 24 hours for activation

Ah cool, i didnt know about that membership thing.

I was trying to think of content aswell, maybe some articles are only available to members?

Perhaps quick could do some kind of deal with a supplement store so that if their ads are displayed on EB, members get a discount off supps with his approval or something?

Detailed + personalised nutrition, training, and supplement plans by a team of eb members? Though thats pretty much what the forum does now, it could be taken a step further and advertised as that. Put them all into a fancy word document or PDF file and email it to person X. Even if its already here, people like big detailed documents with graphics and things - could be an incentive?

Just brainstorming some stuff here.

Yea the members only content is a great idea. What we really need is some power house names in this place that'd be willing to write some exclusive E/B.net articles and members would have to register to read them.

im not too sure about the privileged member thingy. it would become like EliteFTS....

however, if u do what to attract more members u can simply make the journal and the artcile section non viewable to outsiders. that way people would HAVE to register.

I want NO pros writting articles here. If you listen to pros they give horrible advice. They are big because their genetics allow them to be, its normally not because their routines are well rounded. Have well known personal trainers to write articles. Cosgrove or a strength coach like Boyle....those are the best guys...

I agree with this too.

There are some good guys around, though. I really like Dan John's stuff for example.

So we've established the type of people we want here... how do we get them now?

Ideas?

I say all at once, every member emails them asking them to come and help out!

What about getting in touch with Flex magazine and asking if we can use artciles they have in their archives? We could always do some kind of affiliate link in return?

Or what about emailing someone like John Berardi or Tom Venuto?

Just a couple of thoughts, that's all.
