If you ever wondered about starting an online business/ creating a site, you might have received suggestions including a membership site. Indeed, a membership website can be an earning bowl if you are creating an exceptional content worth ‘real value‘. And WordPress is doubtlessly the best platform for creating a website with a bunch of handy WordPress membership plugins.
What is membership site?
A membership site is a website that offers EXTRA content like various digital products including e-books, online courses, webinars etc. for free or paid subscription/ membership to the website.
Features :
There are plenty of choices when it comes to WordPress membership plugins, however, getting the right plugins is what it matters. You may need a simple and basic plugin or feature-rich plugin depending on the type of content you will offer. Therefore, here are some most vital features you should check out before getting a plugin.
Multiple Membership Levels
Some of the membership websites may be good enough at providing a single level of subscription, i.e. same content for all subscribers. While some of the sites may need multiple membership levels as they are offering different types of content. If your plan is just to make a bigger and friendlier community offering free content, a plugin offering single level membership may be fine whereas you may need something more than this if you are selling multiple types of subscriptions.
Payment Gateways and eCommerce support
If you are selling paid memberships, you definitely need a plugin with access to a convenient payment gateway. PayPal is the almost the industry standard. Similarly, if you are planning to sell digital products like e-books or physical products, eCommerce support is a must.
Content Dripping
Content dripping means releasing content in installments. In other words, the subscribers have to visit the site at regular intervals to get new content. As a website owner, you will part the content and create a schedule so that users get the whole content slowly over time. It is a good way to attract the old visitors and earn recurring money if you are selling memberships.
