Looking for advice on setting up a membership site

15 replies
I'm in the process of creating a number of videos and ebooks that are to be the content for my membership site. I'm looking for advice on which membership site software is worth a look.

Thanks very much!

    How big of a site? If its small, its easy enough to set it up using wordpress.

      Profits Theme is working good for me, plus it's much more than a membership site. It builds sales pages, download pages, squeeze pages and much more.

    Trent - I am working on a program by Yaro Starak and Gidio Shelwig. This is not an affiliate link promotion. But the have produced three fantastic free ebooks and audio pod casts that talk about setting up a membership site and using the blog platform to drive traffic.

    The recommend using Wordpress exclusively with plugins and additional materials. I won't put the link in here but if you don't mind clicking to my blog you will be able to click thru the banner on my site and get the free reports.

    My work is relatively new and I am very impressed with them and Chris Farrell's work as well. You might find their free material useful in setting up your own program.

    Like you I am looking forward to success in my own business. This note is intended to encourage you and tell you I am all for your success.

    I would also be interested in your comments if you care to leave any on my blog. Pro or con I am sure I will benefit.

    Best of luck with your membership program. The research I have done so far says that that model is very flexible and can fit almost any objectives. Low cost and high participation rates or high cost and low participation. I was blown away with some of the numbers. Just 100 people at $47 a month -- $4,700 a month minus costs. Wow!

    I hope to follow your example soon. Best of luck!

      Thanks for the info Brad.. Can I get the 3 reports (including membership sites) from Yaro's Blog Mastermind banner? The banner on the right?

      thanks,

      Also, get an Amazon s3 account to host all those videos. It's cheap and you might as well use their bandwidth.

    I've been looking for this as well. wp-member.com offers a single license for 39.99, the membership champ is 97.00 I think for unlimited. membership champ looks easy to work with. I'd like to know if anyone has used the wp-member plugin, but I plan on installing this script on many sites so I'll probably go with the membership champ.

    If it's small, then you should go ahead and use WordPress.

    There are plenty of plugins out there that would enable you
    to turn your website into a full-ride membership site.

    yeah I too use wishlist membership plugin for Wordpress and it is awesome. Although the only tricky part is the link that you set up for clickbank sales...you have to kinda explain to the folks at clickbank how the long cloaked link works. But the plugin works like a charm nonetheless.
