It is really worth having a membership site. You will need unique strategies that will
attract many people and offering free products or services will help in this.
You can allow free downloads of video and pictures, messaging services and
chatting. The contents of your site must also be very attractive and easily
navigable. You website must be regular to avoid loosing members who may see it
as a dull site. </span>

A common requirement for Web sites is to allow only some members
or other
authenticated users to see certain pages. In that case, the
application must

I have created many membership sites. I will happily answer any questions you may have. Feel free to email me bek@bekdavis.com or contact me via my website.

This is a great question, I've been putting off creating a membership site for a while, now, as well.

Keep us posted on your progress!

The best way to do it is use wordpress and use the wordpress plugins.

You cannot go wrong...

All successfull people I know that runs membership sites use wordpress...

Also make sure you have install all social boomarks and let your visitors be part of your site.

Let they leave comments and interact with each other.

Before you start this site please do this => First find hungry buyers and see what they want in a membership site you want to started.

And create what they want. Not what you think they want.

If you just create what you want you will fail. What if there is not market in what you think there is. So the answer is do split testing and see what people want in your field you want to create the membership site.

Then narrow down your market.

And work with your members ask them what they want on the site. What they want you to talk about and I will assure you. You will succeed.

Use Survyes and Polls.

Your website is about your members and not You.

When you give what your members want you will succeed.

Be clever use people to create the content also for you that help you leverage your time more.

So you can just market your site.

Be Bless...

Have you looked at Ning lets you create and join new social networks for your interests and passions. (http://www.ning.com?) It's a free platform for creating social network sites. Great for member interaction! It's easy to set up, maintain, and monetize. If you want a up-front membership fee, you can create a simple landing page where your members can join and pay before being admitted to the member site.

Hope this helps!

I was thinking of doing the same thing but wanted to have a free forum and then an option to access a members area. Can somebody give me an estimate? I don't want anything super flashy...just a forum, an area where I could post articles and tips and then a paid member section. It would be a few months before I can get anything done since I am busy taking classes but once I'm done with school I am going to definitely start working on my idea. I'd like to know how much to expect to pay for something like this that way I can start saving up for it now. Thanks

welcome to all new member

Hi, would like to comment on the post about getting massive exposure

from Article Submissions.

My experience has been the exact opposite. I have submitted over 100 articles to over 350 article sites over the last 5 months, starting the first week of June.

My results have been virtually zero. My Article Submission service first said it would take 3 to 4 months for the " massive ' traffic to appear. Now that I am past that mark, they are now saying 4 to 5 months.

Be very careful about putting your time into article marketing. It may be effective for link building but I really doubt the claims about the traffic.

Depending on the type of membership site you are wanting to create - there are several options. Among my favorites are:
1. For basic sites, using Wordpress with Members Plugin will work - there are plenty out there ranging in price and functionality.
2. Something more functional and scaleable including user forums, downloads, etc, I would recommend using e107, a content management system with a growing developer base. Amember is a good way to get a membership site off the press quickly using e107
3. Semi-custom - find a platform you like (e107, Drupal, Joomla, Mambo, etc) get plugins that will help you and rework code or create custom plugins to do exactly what you want

For ease of use, functionality, and scaleability, Amember with e107 is probably my favorite pick.

Amember is a good low-cost way to get a secure site.

Try Wild Apricot. I built a membership site there with ease.

A few people have talked about mass article submissions, some have had great results and other havent. I'm not a big believer in the mass submissions of articles. I think you're much better off using good quality sites such as ezinearticles that can get your articles to the top of google.

the best idea for every membership site is just tell all your member to increase membership of site and you will pay any kind of incentive( like a commission). than thy well work for you indirectly.

I'm setting up a membership now too. I'm doing mine with wordpress and some plugins. The forum plugin is completely free - it's called simple press forum. the membership plugin is $97 - it's called wp wishlist. I did a lot of research, and these 2 things are the easiest way I've found to set up a membership site. Ning is a good option too, but I prefer to have it a part of one of the sites I already have. Maybe you can do that with Ning, I really didn't spend too much time looking into it.

Good for you looking forward to see it! You can email me, I have some advice.
