Am I right?
But what if I told you that there are many "types" of membership sites.
Take a look...
1) Ongoing Content - This is your traditional membership site. Essentially you provide fresh content on a regular basis and people pay monthly to access that content whenever they want.
2) Protected Download Area - If you sell any type of digital product, you'll want to protect it behind a membership.
Why? Because that way you can prevent people from passing your info to others who haven't paid for it AND you can block their access should they ask for a refund.
3) UPS Method - This type of membership is used when you deliver a "package" of content to your members each month.
They belong to your membership so they can receive this "package" every month.
A good example would be a Private Label Rights membership. With those memberships they deliver a package of PLR content each month.
4) Course Materials - If you sell any type of course that has "Modules", then you should consider putting it into a membership site.
When you select the right membership software, you can automatically deliver each module at a predefined time so that everything is automated.
That way you can create the course once, but after that people can continue to sign up and receive the course one module at a time.
Here's a good example of the software that can help you do this.
5) Micro Continuity - This membership was made popular by Russell Brunson and essentially it involves delivering content for a fixed period of time.
This video explains the whole process.
So it's similar to running a "modular course" where you automatically deliver content but over a fixed period of time (3-6 months).
6) Project Management System - Running a virtual business often means you are working with vendors around the world.
With the right membership solution you can quickly create a "private membership" for YOUR company.
Just setup a membership level for each "position" in your company and then create a section of your site just for people who belong to that position (webmaster, designer, customer support etc.).
So you can see there are many different "types" of membership sites and I'm sure as you were reading them, you're nodding your head saying "yeh I should create one of those".
If so, the next question becomes, what software solution should you use?
Obviously you want something affordable.
Then you probably want a solution that allows you to create multiple memberships (after all, you're likely going to have more than one just using the examples above).
Next you probably want a solution that's easy to use and setup - correct?
...AND finally...
You probably want something that has plenty of support materials and help should you have any questions - right?
I have good news...
There is a solution that handles all of these and a whole lot more.
Thousands of people are using it for all kinds of memberships and the best part is, you can see it in action (for free) by watching any of the videos demonstrating all the features directly from their website.
Here is the link.
The other thing you should note is that they have tremendous support.

It's a great solution for any type of membership site and it has a whole bunch of advanced features should you want to automate or integrate your membership with other solutions like shopping carts, autoresponders etc.
Take a look and put some serious consideration into purchasing the Multi-Site since it has WAY more value - especially if you see yourself setting up more than one membership site.
