Membership Site Creation
Hey guys and girls, how are you?
In my niche there currently are lots of FREE membership sites and, combined, these forums entertaina wopping 500.000 people across the globe! Since I see loads of people complain about a lack of HIGH quality content, and a lack of NEW content... especially made by an expert...
It would be dumb NOT to create a membership site (a paid forum if you will) to give them exactly what they want: experts who write and record stuff for them.
So the big idea is definitely there, but now I need the practical application... and Google doesn´t really help me out when it comes to selecting paid membership site software, but maybe someone on these kick *ss forums knows?
I´m basically looking for this:
- A sales letter where people are sent to the membership site after they buy
- The site url must either be protected (best option) or made obscure so it´s hard to type it in without paying (not so safe option because people can still copy paste)
- The site itself must be a forum with different categories (relating to the subniches off course), basically a forum like the warriorforum when it comes to options: username, password and password retrieval options, subscribe to threads option, and all the other stuff that almost all big forums use and it msut be able to contain a custom logo (just like these warrior forums can)
- Recurring billing must be possible, and payment via PayPal (and if possible, via creditcard) as well
- I´m planning on using video and/or audio on the site, but I assume working with a link that links TO the vidoe or audio is much easier to pull off
- I´m also thinking about using two types of membership: a gold mebership and a platinum one or so to speak, but what software allows me to give platinum people more rights than gold ones?
And the biggest question: do I even NEED a piece of membership site software for this, or just a forum with lots of options? :confused:
