You will get the most benefit from any membership site you join when you do the following five activities...
1. Make the membership site a favorite. Bookmark it on your computer so that you do not have to remember where it is, or what it's called. Bookmark it! In fact, I would suggest that you make a special folder or a special spot just for the site(s) where you have a membership(s). Make it a favorite. Use a program like Roboform to help you remember all those passwords. Not just to help to remember all those passwords, but Roboform will also auto fill and login for you. Avoid that awful feeling of knowing you have the information "Somewhere!", but just can't find it.
2. Participate. Join the forum if there is one and be sure to complete your profile, adding your picture is a MUST. Comment on the posts, videos and articles. If they've something for you to rate, then do it! Answer questions, ask questions, just get involved. It will really help your learning, and it will also really help you get that information planted in your brain. Remember you have to make the membership site valuable to you and the only way to do that is to get in there and do the work.
3. Label the e-mail addresses from the admin group of the membership site. I use Gmail, my preferred -- I'm amazed at how much more organized I am with Gmail rather than Outlook, which I used to use. When you label that person's e-mail with the name of your membership site, it stands out in your inbox. You'll know that maybe something new has been posted, a new call has been scheduled, or perhaps a new video has been added. By labeling the e-mail address from the admin group you'll be able to quickly and easily find and use that membership site. As you get to know others in the group you can add their email address to the label you have for the membership site.
4. Do the homework. Get in there. Watch the videos. Create the web pages. Do the blog posts. Create your profiles on all the social media platforms. Do whatever it is you joined the site to learn. Do that homework, consistently! When you start to practice what has been delivered within the site, you will be amazed at how quickly you can become proficient. So get in there and do the homework.
5. Use the tools and the techniques provided within the site. I have met people at different events and have discovered we are members of the same site. When we discuss the membership site that we both belong to I find that they never went in and used the tools that were provided. I belong to a Web Graphics Explained membership site and Frank provided a ton of different graphics. When I was talking about how I had used them the other person said they didn't even know they were there! Click on all of the buttons, investigate the posts, the videos. Be sure to learn your way around.
