Choosing Your Membership Web Site Software The first thing you need to know is that not all membership web site software is the same. Some are very basic and will only handle the bare minimum of things and others are so complex that you literally need a degree in advanced physics to understand how they work. Which one you choose is going to largely depend on your specific needs. But there are some basic things that you are going to want. For one thing, you are going to need software that has the ability to take payments and register users. Now, you could just throw a PayPal button up there and process the payments that way, manually keeping track of your members and locking people out if their subscription lapses. Honestly, as your membership grows, you probably don't want to do this. Most membership web site software will handle this part easily. Another thing you are going to want in your membership web site software is the ability to run reports. It will be nice to know how many members you have. It will also be nice to have reports that show you any unauthorized access to your site. To do this, you will need software that allows you to protect certain directories. Most of the better ones will do this. Another thing that you are going to want in your membership web site software is the ability to add as many payment processors as you want. Some people may not have access to a PayPal account or have a credit card. By having software that allows you to add any payment processors you want to be able to accept payments from, this increases the potential membership of your site. As we move up to more advanced applications, you are going to want to run an affiliate program to be able to get more members through your existing members promoting the site. This is where you really have to do some shopping around. Most of the basic membership software that's out there doesn't have very powerful affiliate program capability. To get this functionality at a level where you can really run a great affiliate program, you're going to have to turn to the more expensive applications. These few things are only the tip of the iceberg. You're also going to want to be able to manually manage accounts, send emails to members, be able to put up a message board or forum and a number of other things that are just nice to have. As I said at the beginning, what you get will be greatly influenced by what you want your software to be able to do. So shop around. Most of the better software out there will have complete specifications that you can read before purchasing. This way you can make an informed decision on the software that you ultimately get.
