Although this is a little bit old article when membership sites used to be cool with Internet Marketers.But the problem as in 2011 is that most of the people have misused membership sites and at least in 2011 it’s become a passing fad.Many times I’ve heard from people that they were not delivered the products promised by membership sites or even if they were provided content it was of low quality.Last but not least I’d like to add that making a membership site is easier said than done like any thing else in life.

I’ve no idea why you would use Joomla when you can simply use WordPress and a plugin such as Wishlist Member or Digital Access Pass to protect your content.

Just because someone has a membership site – it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are raking in loads of cash like you mention. It’s far easier to create the content and infrastructure for a membership site than it is to market it to a passionate buying audience.

Those interested in running membership sites should have the time and the right technique otherwise it can become a total failure. Many people are successful with membership sites but I get a bit surprised sometimes when I come across people who run a number of sites and actively involved in membership sites as well.

Wow! Looks like an awesome course.

I’d definitely be tempted to go down this route sometime in the future, but it seems like a lot of technical issues would need to be addressed. Paid memberships is a great way to create a residual income.

Offering different layers would be the way to go, starting with free content and ending up with very high ticket ‘elite mastermind’ access…

Thanks for this Sushant, you got me thinking about the possibilities…

Whenever I think of a membership site and the level of work required to sustain it with fresh content every time, it is really a pain. I am a lazy marketer and I prefer to be one. Unless you are thinking of building your multi-million dollar business empire, there is no reason to stick your neck into this – that’s what I feel. After all, I am jumping into online marketing to get freedom from the corporate world and the drudgery of the 9 to 5 job. Why should I create another one myself?
