How To Start a Membership Site Using Free Software

11 replies
Ever wanted to start your own Membership Site but don't know how to do it?

It's very easy...

Here are some easy steps you need to walk through when starting your own membership site

Step #1: Decide on the theme of your site.

What will be the main subject that will be discussed or the main item that will be sold on your website? This is the first decision that needs to be made because almost everything else will depend on this decision.

Step #2: Choose a name for your website.

Here you need to make a list of several different names that would describe what the main objective of your website and its theme is. Put the ones that have fewer than 20 letters in them at the top of your list.

Step #3: Find out what names are available.

Go to any host provider and do a search beginning with the names you have chosen that have the fewest number of letters in them. Search until you find a suitable domain name.

Step #4: Register the domain name.

There are several places on the Internet that register and host domains.

Step #5: Get a webhost.

Step #6: Install membership management software on your server.

You can get a Free License to MemberFire Membership Site System at Membership Site Supplies

Step #7: Add content.

Remember, all content, whether it is written, audio or video content, needs to be relevant to the theme of your website.

Step #8: Set up payment processing.

This is done on sites like PayPal or AlertPay. You need this whether you are selling memberships or merchandize.

Step #9 Launch the site.

That is, start running advertisements to attract members.

    That is easy to say, but hard to do it... It takes a while until I can build a new site(to release, to promote, etc.)

    I think the write-up is simple enough. The key is to take action, see what works and doesn't, make corrections and then watch for improvements.

      Hi there TrafficHulk

      I like your checklist for a membership site

      Just an observation on your sales page

      Have a look at your testominals they may need revising...

      Agree?

    I think Ian Del carmen is giving away one called memberfire and it is a free script by the way.

    If you want to build a membership website fast and not to complex, I often suggest a plugin for WordPress. There are one, two plugins out there which are really performing well.

      Hi Filiks,

      If you want to make money with membership sites you'll have to work on it constantly.

      To correct: It's fast to build the site, but not fast to build your members if you understand.
      You can set up the membership site from a few minutes up to a few hours (with wordpress and plugins).

        You're right. To setup a membership site will cost only a few hours but I can't say how long it will take to launch the site. It all depends on how much work you put in it. It won't come automatically.
