Wordpress For Membership Sites? It’s More Than Just A Blog!

Yeah, I know, sounds difficult, it’s not! By the time you finish this article you will understand how Wordpress can be used as a membership site and why Wordpress is a great choice for this purpose.

Wordpress is in mine, and many others, opinions the best blogging platform around, and whether you know it or not, it can be used for other types of sites besides blogs.

Did you know that content memberships are some of the best selling products online right now? Huge fortunes are being made from membership sites!

Why? For several reasons.

1. They put all the content in one convenient place, the visitors know exactly where to go to get what they want, whenever they need it. They don’t have to search all over the internet for the stuff they want.

2. The content is typically “dripped out” over time so the visitors don’t get overwhelmed with trying to use the content.

3. Getting 1 product or video or whatever per day or week is a lot easier to assimilate than getting a whole course at once and then trying to put to use everything at the same time.

4. The overall price is usually much cheaper than buying all of the components separately.

These 4 reasons lead to the fact that content memberships tend to be fast sellers and great money makers.

So what’s this about using Wordpress for membership sites? Wordpress is becoming more and more versatile with every update. It is not just for blogging anymore!

Wordpress can now be used for all kinds of applications, squeeze pages, sales pages, affiliate sites, static looking sites, and yes, membership sites.

Now you can create a members only site, protect the private members area, drip feed content for weeks or months at a time, and even sell your prospects all using Wordpress.

How is this done? It’s very easy actually. You just install Wordpress using the famous 5 minute install process. Add a few choice plugins, add a very simple but versatile theme, make a few small tweaks such as the permalinks and you’re done!

Your new membership site is all ready to accept members, just add content. You can even make your sales letter to sell the thing with Wordpress. How easy is this sounding to you?

It really is easy enough for anyone to do once you learn how wordpress works.

So, why should you use Wordpress to create your membership site?

Because the search engines love it! Wordpress has been created to be extremely SEO friendly, this means that it has been put together so that it automatically attracts the search engines to your site.

It also encourages people to help you promote your site with various features such as social media links, RSS feeds, permalinks, and a friendly, easy to navigate format.

Plugins such as recent posts and comments, advanced SEO, advanced social media linking, ad containers, and subscribe to comments plugins make your wordpress site even more attractive to search engines and visitors.

So, do you think you can get a ton more members using the Wordpress platform for your membership sites?

I do. Sometimes I get sales before I have even promoted the site at all just because of the attractiveness of Wordpress as a site platform.

with the huge amount of plugins, themes, and information available for Wordpress, it really does become a complete no brainer to use it for all kinds of sites.

I used to spend weeks building sites from scratch and then weeks more updating and changing links but now I can deploy pretty much any type of site I like within minutes using Wordpress.
