Find Out Which Membership Plugins You Need

You have your sales funnel up and rolling, your email auto responder in place, and now it is time to start to build the rest of your website. There are some membership plugins you are going to want to make sure you are using. Let’s have a look at what those are. 

There are many WordPress plugins that you can take advantage of that will let you create the membership part of your website. While there are other ways to accomplish this, through WordPress is by far one of the easiest ways to accomplish this. 

Be able to protect some of the pages from public view. A membership site isn’t of any value if you are unable to block the content from those who are not paying members. You can use a plugin to ensure the public, and member’s of various levels see only what they are entitled to see.
Provide a content drip. Perhaps your website is offering an 8 week program of some type.  These plugins let you release specific content every week or every so many days to ensure members aren’t able to skip ahead and have to follow the program.
Create multiple user tiers. Many membership sites, offer different pricing structures. Let’s say you want to have 4 different pricing tiers, and each tier is able to access specific information.  Use a plugin to allow you to create the number of tiers you need and then and assign the appropriate content.
Create a Free Trial. Often the easiest way to hook a new member is to bring them on board for a week or two of free access. You can use a plugin to achieve this.

What you will need overall is going to depend on what type of site you are creating, whether this is your first membership site, your skill level, the complexity of the website and other factors. It’s important that you match the plugins you choose to use.

Take a little time to evaluate your exact needs. This will help you overcome any uncertainty you might be dealing with. Don’t be afraid to tweak and change in the early days. Before you go live is a great time to play with plugins. You can set up some dummy membership accounts and check out the flow to see if it’s working the way you want it to. Doing this can help you have the best possible membership site once you go live.
