A small blog doesn't have to mean a small income.\nBy helping a specific group of people solve their problems, Carol Tice has attracted more than 1500 members -- at $25 a month -- to join her community.\nCarol went from working as a freelance writer, to coaching others how to become freelance writers, to building one of the largest online membership sites for freelance writers.\n(I found Carol while doing keyword research for terms like \u201cget paid to write\u201d and \u201cmake money writing\u201d \u2013 and Carol OWNS this space.)\nThe best part is that the paid membership model is an awesome way to build an online business, and it\u2019s a model that can be applied to just about any niche.\nIt didn\u2019t come without sacrifice for Carol, who was working full-time and had two preschoolers when she started her blog. \u201cI didn\u2019t see a TV show, I didn\u2019t go out to a movie, I didn\u2019t go to dinner parties,\u201d Carol explained.\nBut with hard work, a laser-focused attitude towards her goals, and good communication with her audience, Carol has built something special for freelance writers.\nTune in to hear how Carol built her membership site from the ground up. She explains how she uses funnels to constantly bring in new members, and how she keeps members engaged (any paying) for the long-haul.\nYou\u2019ll learn loads of actionable stuff, and how you can also apply the same tactics to develop a recurring revenue business of your own.\nFull Show Notes and PDF Highlight Reel: Small Blog, Big Income: Recurring Revenue from a Low-Traffic Site
