If you’re thinking of starting a membership site to take advantage of recurring revenues, you want to be focusing on the marketing and creation of content. And most of us aren’t technically savvy so that’s why I’m making a limited time offer to get your membership site installed for free. All you need to do is:

• Get the Overnight Membership Site Course
• Purchase the Wishlist Member plugin (handles the content protection, login, etc)
• Get a domain name (or use an existing one)
• Sign up or a web hosting plan via HostGator or GoDaddy

I just need the login info to either HostGator or GoDaddy and your plugin download file. Go to the contact page and send me:
-the transaction id for your purchase of hostgator web hosting plan
-the transaction id for your purchase of Wishlist Member Plugin
-the username and password to login into your hostgator account (to install wordpress and upload plugin)
-the username password to login into your domain account (to point domain at your webhost servers)
-send me the link to your Wishlist plugin (zip file) or put in message that you will send me via subsequent email

Want to use a different web host or domain registrar? Send me a note and we’ll talk!
Already have a web hosting plan and/or domain name? I can install Wordpress, wishlist plugin and any theme you choose for $100. After that you’ll just need to add your content and configure your membership site which is easy!

Here’s a great video from Stu McLaren on 10 Membership Site Business Models.

I use Model #1 the Publisher Model and use Wordpress (free) and Wishlist Member plugin to protect my content.

Here is part 2 of the interview with Chris Garrett about membership sites. Chris turns the tables and asks Stu McLaren from Wishlist Member questions about. Here is part one in case you missed it.

Some of the topics include: what forum plugin to use, how to protect the forum, having members pay by installments, integration with 1shoppingcart, using ip address protection to avoid username/password sharing, URL redirection, Flexi pages widget (I use this in the right sidebar for page links), Widget Logic (show widgets depending on user logged in, etc), TS Custom Widgets, WP Polls, Comment Length Limiter, Audit Trail (see where members are going – this is a big one I am going to try), Download monitor (also cool for seeing what people are downloading).

Note that if you integrate with 1ShoppingCart (1SC) at this time, you can’t use paypal for subscription payments, because 1SC doesn’t support paypal for subscription payments. So I use PayPal directly without 1SC.

So check out part 2 of the interview with Chris Garrett about membership sites.
