Dear future membership site owner,

If you have started looking for a way to get your membership site going, only to become frustrated by the high expense of an all inclusive system... If you don't have the skills needed or don't want to spend your time installing membership software and integrating it with a content management system, read on...

My name is David Moskowitz, and about 2 years ago I started my own membership site. The site targets Japanese students learning English (I live and work in Japan). After weeks of discussing the design of the site, I began my quest for a software that could handle the management of contents along with subscription management. To my amazement, there were only two real contenders.

Membergate, may give you sticker shock upon seeing the price
(starts at $3,995 and goes up to $29,995)

• Built in content management system along with the subscription system.
• No programming skills needed, some HTML useful
• Massive price tag.
• You need to use their hosting company.
• You need to be approved by them (they don't take adult sites for example).
The truth is Membergate is a great system, if you are willing to spend the thousands of dollars needed before you even get your site off the ground.

aMember, only provides the subscription management system.
($179 for a single site licence and $40 for a CMS plugin)

• Functionality can be expanded with plugins (read on).
• You use 3rd party programs to use things like a content management system or bulletin board.
• Hosted on your site.
• No approval needed, you just pay and download.
• You need to know some HTML and knowing PHP (programming language) is also useful.
• Takes time to install and set up.

And the clear winner is...

At only $179, aMember was the clear winner. After several weeks of installs, customizations, debugging, and other headaches, the system was finally ready for content. After many wasted hours the system finally worked like clockwork.

Since then, I've used aMember for a number of other sites, including this one.

With this service you get to take advantage of my knowledge, without having to fumble through the coding yourself!

What's a content management system?

A content management system, or CMS, is a software program which allows you to add your valuable content (videos, audio, articles, etc.) to a web site without the need to program in HTML, everything is done in a very comfortable graphical interface. It provides a consistent theme and navigation throughout the site.

Warning! You do not want to be a guinea pig for some marketer's new membership script.

You've probably seen the ads or forum posts from all those gurus and marketers promoting their fantastic new membership scripts. Well, let me tell you something. When it comes to your business, do you really want to risk your reputation and income on some new program when a tried and tested system can work for you?

aMember on the other hand has been in use for over 5 years, and has been used on over 4000 sites. It is constantly being improved and updated and has a lively community. Additionally, when you want to add a new functionality to your site, you can easily do so with a 3rd party script and purchasing a very inexpensive plugin (usually only $40).

Why use Wordpress?

Wordpress is a robust open source (free) CMS system. It powers an estimated 2.2 million blogs including The New York Times and over 2,690 plugins. Plugins are little programs you add on to Wordpress to increase its functionality. For example, if you wanted to add a sitemap generator or add Youtube videos, you can effortlessly do so with a quick uplaod and few clicks of the mouse.

Integrating aMember and Wordpress

By integrating aMember and Wordpress you get the benefits of a content management system with the power of a proven membership management system. This creates a solid and affordable long term solution for your membership site needs.

What the CMS and Membership system can and can't do

Limitations:

There are a few limitations to using aMember with Wordpress. If you want to allow members to add comments, all members can view them no matter what their level. I haven't found an acceptable forum plugin for Wordpress. If you want a forum, a seperate program is needed. The Wordpress Revolution theme included in this service will need some editing to have it fit your needs. However, the Revolution site has some great tutorials on how to customize the theme.

Capabilities:

You can have other people writing content for you, without having to learn HTML. You can write several articles at once and set them to be published on set dates. Extreme flexibility! You can add new functions such as calenders, photo galleries, videos etc. With over 2,690 plugins and more coming out all the time, it's really incredible what can be done.

Although not a part of this service, it's also possible to deliver content on an incremental basis. You will need the aMember Incremental Content plugin to do this, and you can get a $20 off coupon for this when you sign up. I've also developed a way to integrate this with wordpress so that you can use your CMS to deliver your drip feed content.

Here's what I am going to do for you

I am going to save you massive amounts of time and frustration by going into your site, installing Wordpress, integrating it with your copy of aMember, setting up the protection system, and setting up 3 levels of access- free membership, paid silver and paid gold memberships (you can change the names of the levels to match your niche). This normally takes several hours, and for someone who has never done it before, could take several days. But because I have done it so many times, I understand exactly what needs to be done. I can offer this service at a fee much lower than the actual fee per hour I would normally charge for an installation.

Here's a breakdown of what you get:
1. Wordpress Installation (latest one that I have tested to work with aMember)
2. Wordpress Video Display Plugin
3. Wordpress aMember Integration**
4. Wordpress Content Protection Plugin Installation and Setup for 3 Levels
5. aMember Directory Protection for the Free, Silver and Gold Levels
6. Wordpress Revolution Theme ($79.95 value)
7. aMember Templates that Match the Revolution Theme ($39.95 value)
**aMember should already be installed and you have to purchase the Wordpress plugin from aMember. aMember will install the program for free.
Total estimated installation and integration time: 6 to 8 hours
Cost: $600 - $800 (my standard billing rate)

Keep in mind that this is my time estimate- imagine how much longer it could take you...

Membership Academy

P.S. You know that your time is best spent marketing, building up content and finding joint venture partners. Figuring out how to integrate aMember and Wordpress on your own would take enourmous amounts of time. Not to mention finding a Wordpress theme and then having someone create the matching aMember template. But why take the long road when you can take a safe and secure shortcut? That's what Membership Academy offers you, a shortcut to setting up your membership site.

P.P.S. If you are honestly interested in starting up and running a successful Wordpress-aMember based membership site, I urge you to move fast. A "guru" told me that I should be charging at least $700 for this package because it's so valuable. That's a good idea so... maybe sometime soon. Your best bet is to take advantage of the current low price and get started today!

Get your wordpress membership site set up as soon as possible!

P.P.P.S. You have a choice, you can continue searching the internet, wasting hours, or even days thinking about setting up a membership site. Then go out looking for a good template, and learn how to integrate it with aMember, or you can get the site integrated for you, with the theme and template you need right now. And remember my money back guarantee. If I can't get your site set up, I'll give you your money back! What could be fairer than that?
