Ideas to get people to Register...

[Tippy]

I have/run a Video site which has both a Public and Private (Member) section. The Public section has Videos less then 50mb in size where-as the Private section contains Videos in excess of 50mb, many over 100mb.

I was wondering what I can do to get more people to Register and become Members, Membership is free by the way.

Once in a while I open the Member section up to the Public on weekends to give visitors a taste of what they get for becoming a Member and usually I get 1 or 2 sign-ups.

Any other ideas to get people to Reg?

Thanks,

Mike

maybe put afew members videos on for the public, something that gets there attention and make thats a great video and make it like half public then rest of it members, so they sign up to see the rest.
also, wrong section i think.

Sounds doable, I will give it a try.

The way its set up now is the visitor can see screen caps of the Member Videos but cant view the actual clip itself. I was hoping that would have been tempting enough but pictures dont tell the whole story I guess and seeing as they still have access to the 200+ public clips they dont bother signing up...

You could offer people some money to signup. Nothing motivates people more than money :D
