In fact, this idea is so prevalent that it's easy for it to sound like white noise.\n\nBut here's the thing: there's truth in that expression. A lot of it.\n\nNowadays, we're seeing more and more that specialization leads to success. How else can you explain the rise of gluten-free bakeries, non-alcoholic craft beer, and power yoga studios?\n\nPlus, it seems like more and more \"general\" and \"we do everything\" businesses are struggling, pivoting, or closing their doors for good. Think about what happened to big companies like Sears, Borders, and Macys.\n\nHere's the takeaway:\n\nThe same marketing principles that impact these businesses apply to online businesses like membership sites<\/a>, private communities, and online courses.\n\nThe riches really are in the niches.\n\nThat's why in this article, we'll look at 10 very successful membership sites in some very specific niches. As you'll discover, it's almost impossible to get too specific when it comes to carving out your own corner of the internet.\n\nBut first, let\u2019s start with the basics:\n

What Is A Membership Site?<\/strong><\/h2>\nWe live and breathe membership sites here at MemberMouse. We're not going to assume you're as obsessed with them as we are. That's why it'll be really helpful to take a second to review the basics and define the terms we're working with. If you're brand new to this of a membership site or just need a refresher, here's the definition of a membership site that we'll work with in this article:\n\nA membership site is simply a website where access to specific content is protected and placed behind a member login page. In order for people to view the content on these protected pages, they need to have an active member account on your site. If they do, they can login to the members\u2019 area on your site and view the content you\u2019ve placed behind the login page.\n\nNow, let's go one step deeper:\n\nA membership site can have both free and paid members. It can also have different levels of members, all with unique access rights assigned to their membership levels<\/a>. The power of a membership site is that you can charge people on a recurring (monthly, semi-annual, yearly, etc.) basis for access to this protected content.\n\nSo, if you have a paid membership site, members will need to pay to keep their account active and thus access your protected content. Otherwise they lose access to any page that protected in a member\u2019s only area.\n

\"Membership sites work best when someone has what I call a 'forever challenge.' Something that's going to go on for an extended period of time and where the business can provide a 'forever promise' to justify a long-term relationship.\"<\/em><\/blockquote>\n

The Beauty Of The Membership Site Model<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe beauty of a membership site is that you can put anything<\/strong><\/em> behind a login page (or \"paywall\" as it's often called). Whatever can exist on a website on a website can be protected. That means your membership site can be made up of restricted pages with exclusive articles, members' only podcast interviews, online course videos, and even community forums.\n\nThe ways you can implement the membership site model are really unlimited. There are hundreds -- if not thousands -- of ways to build a membership site. But, in essence, it call comes down to this: the control of content access by you, the creator.\n\nIn this article, we'll now look at 10 unique and inspiring examples of membership sites. Each one of the sites we'll cover today is in a very well-defined niche market. Picking a niche is one of the most critical components of success for any online business. We've seen time and time again that the more specific and targeted you can be with the niche your businesses exists in, the more successful you can be.\n\nIn case you need a quick reminder, let\u2019s do a brief overview of niche markets.\n

Remind Me: What Exactly Is A Niche?<\/strong><\/h3>\nOk, so what exactly is a niche?\n\nFor starters, when people say niche<\/em> in the context of an online business, they typically mean niche market<\/strong>. Obviously, a market is a specific commercial sector, like:\n
