Your Membership Site Software Choices Can Make Or Break Your Online Business

You have many membership site software options these days, ranging from free to very, very expensive, and from easy to use to challenging, even for the technically-skilled online business owner. The membership site software you choose can either support your business growth, or eat up your time and money trying to make it work the way you want your site to operate.

First you have to determine what content you plan to deliver, and what membership model you are going to follow. Will you be offering audio interviews as your main content, perhaps a new interview each month? Or are you delivering a step by step course where you want people to start at step 1 and move through each of the next steps in a carefully designed sequence? Will you have one membership level, or many levels, each of which allows access to different content? There are many different models you can use, and the membership software you choose must be able to effectively support your selected model.

Next you need to consider various content management systems. Will you be creating a new stand-alone html page each time you add new content, and then have to do all of the linking and navigation updating by hand? Or will you use a WordPress blog, so that all of the navigation and organization of your site is done pretty much automatically? I guess our preference here is pretty clear – use a WordPress blog and host it on your own webhosting account. Then make certain that your membership site software works with WordPress blogs.

Cost is always a consideration, especially if you are just starting your online business and you have a limited budget. You’ll want to be sure that you are getting what you pay for, and that you are paying for only what you need. Some membership systems cost thousands of dollars a month, and the features that make them so expensive are advanced features you will never use. On the other hand, you can find membership software or systems that are free to use. These free or very inexpensive options present a different set of issues. Often there is little or no customer support offered, you are hosting your membership site on someone else’s website (and their site URL is a part of your membership site name), and you have no real control or recourse if they decide to shut your site down. This happens all the time, and you don’t want to place your business at risk by giving someone else life-or-death control over your business. Spend some money to assure that you have control over your business.

You will also want to think about how easy the membership site software is to use. We created our first membership site using a popular software, and it turned out that it was so confusing and complicated that we had to pay an expert to install it and configure it. As a result, we paid way more for our membership site than we would have had to if the software had been easier to use, and we also had to pay for the expert to make ongoing updates to our site. Even if you decide to pay someone to set your site up initially, you will definitely want membership site software that you can easily understand, so that you can make your own changes and updates quickly and efficiently.

As you can see, there are a lot of important decisions you must make before you choose your membership site software.
