Membership based web sites can be difficult and expensive to setup and manage. First, you need to design the site. Next you need a way to manage the content. After that, you need a way to provide secure access to that content. And in most cases, it also needs to be integrated with a shopping cart and autoresponder.
You may also want to add features like a blog or forum…which will require you mastering even more software…and you need to make sure that those features integrate with the rest of your site as well.
If you’re experienced and skilled with software and web design, you can piece all of these features together yourself. There are also few “all-in-one-solutions” out there that will do everything for you. The problem is, they are expensive. One of the leading solutions, MemberGate, costs nearly $4,000 just to get started.
Recently, my friend Jennifer Haubein developed a solution that eliminates the need to be a web programmer or have deep pockets in order to get your membership based web site up and running.
It’s called WebSites2Grow. It’s an inexpensive web based system that allows you to quickly build a membership based web site…no programming or design skills needed. In fact, she recently did a live event on Ustream where she literally built a web site in an hour using the system.
WebSites2Grow contains all the features you need to build and operate a membership site…content management, secure user access, blogs and forums…plus it integrates seamlessly with popular shopping carts and virtually any autoresponder. And to top it off, everything gets built using a simple web-based interface (nothing to download or install). All you need is a domain to get started.
So if you’re looking for a solution that makes building and managing membership based web sites simple and affordable, it’s definitely something you should check out.
Here’s a link to it: http://www.websites2grow.com
By the way, that’s a direct link to the site…not an affiliate link…and Jennifer didn’t even know I was writing this post until a few hours ago.
Hi Dave, did you do her video or is she one of your students cos that’s a great video! Well worth a watch even if you’re not interested in membership websites. How does she get that effect of many webpages appearing to move through space? Really good stuff. Thanks
No, I didn’t do Jennifer’s video. She had mentioned the people who did are accepting new work, so you can contact her for the details.
Thanks Dave
Thats an awesome site she built. I really enjoy your content. Keep up the good work
Hi Dave,
Thanks so much for the great review! The video was created by James Wedmore and Matt Floyran of http://www.RealityMastermind.com. There site is worth checking out for some really funny viral video examples. I do know they used Camtasia and video animation software to create all of the effects. But I don’t know the specific name of the software.
Thanks Dave for all that you are doing and I just downloaded your free report. So looking forward to reading it!
