Million-Dollar Membership Site

By "Frank" "Kern"

The Build It and Sell It Way to Riches-

Wishlist Member is a Wordpress plugin that makes it easy for you to create a fully functioning membership site. A membership site is one that allows your visitors to subscribe (for free or a paid subscription) to access your content.

Membership sites offer you a great way to make an online income. Either charge a one-off payment for access to your content, or charge a recurring monthly or annual fee. The choice is yours. Add in a forum and you have a community of people, all interested in your content.

If you would like to create a membership site, then this course will show you how. I've been using Wishlist Member since 2011, and in this course, I'll use all of that experience to teach you how to use this plugin to setup a membership site.

In the course I'll plan out a demonstration membership site, and then you get to watch over-my-shoulder as I build the membership site from scratch.

In this course you will learn:

* What membership sites are, and why they are a good way to make an income online.

* How to plan out your membership site.

* How to install and configure Wishlist Member.

* How to create content and then protect it so that only those members who should have access, actually do. You will learn a few different ways to protect your content.

* How to show a teasers to non-members to encourage them to subscribe.

* How to use shortcodes to personalize your member content.

* How to use Mergecodes for additional control over content protection.

* How to create multiple levels within your membership site, so you can effectively run multiple courses from a single Wishlist installation.

* Customizing the experience for multiple membership levels, so each member feels special.

* How to setup drip-fed (sequential) content so that you control how quickly members get access to various content.

* How to integrate Paypal and/or Clickbank to take payments from your members.

* How to integrate a forum into your member area using a free Wordpress plugin. A forum can help you build a community on your site. When people feel like part of a community, they are more likely to stick around.

Foreword

The Internet has been called the great equalizer. Anyone who has access to a computer and an Internet connection has the entire world at his fingertips. The World Wide Web bridges oceans and continents and brings people together. Since the Internet came into civilian use in the mid-90s, websites containing useful information and entertainment have drawn the most views.

This rapid explosion of online presence has also brought about a new phenomenon: social networking. This technology is at both advanced and human. It is advanced because it transmits information at lightning speed; human because it harnesses the human potential to connect, share, and communicate.

Many enterprising individuals have also started websites that require paid membership; these websites contain information that is otherwise inaccessible to others. Discussion forums are another form of network that allows sharing of ideas and concepts among people with similar passions and interests. We will delve into this subject here.

Introduction

Despite the advent of social networks, paid membership websites are not going away. In fact, they are expanding, and more members-only websites are being set up. Membership websites capitalize on the fact that people are willing to pay for information that they find useful, and that by associating and communicating with other people who share the same passions, they add to the general wealth of knowledge to which the Internet plays host.

These websites charge minimal fees, but with membership numbers in the hundreds or thousands, they provide a steady stream of revenue for owners, content generators, and advertisers. These websites have also spawned an entire industry of web developers who seek to create the next big thing in content and payments management.

All in all, membership websites offer distinct advantages over websites offering free content. Blog entries and other content are strictly moderated; interactions between members are monitored, lessening the risk of conflict; and each member feels an exclusivity that is otherwise
