This vital tool should enable you to set up tiered plans, restrict content, and create an effective pricing strategy to sell your memberships with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we\u2019ll look at what membership sites are, and why you might want to create one. We\u2019ll then show you how to transform any WordPress website into a membership site in four easy steps. Let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"an-introduction-to-membership-sites-and-why-you-may-want-to-create-one\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"An_Introduction_to_Membership_Sites_And_Why_You_May_Want_to_Create_One\"><\/span>An Introduction to Membership Sites (And Why You May Want to Create One)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/membership-sites-101\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">membership site<\/a> is a gated website that features exclusive content. Memberships can be free, paid, or operate on a tiered system where each level unlocks specific features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A paid or tiered membership website can be a smart way to <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/start-a-viable-online-business-with-memberpress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">monetize your content<\/a>. It can also provide an additional revenue stream for sites that are already generating income, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/how-to-create-an-online-store-in-your-membership-site\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">e-commerce stores<\/a>. Diversifying can protect your business against market fluctuations or changes in consumer trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, memberships don\u2019t always have to be about money. Some of the biggest names in the industry offer free memberships, including Facebook and Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These memberships are typically designed to gather user information. This data can be used in a variety of ways, but often forms part of a marketing or advertising strategy. The more you know about someone, the easier it is to promote products and services to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Memberships also encourage visitors to return to your website by promoting more meaningful user activity. The act of creating a profile, engaging with other people in the comments sections, and receiving friend requests all drive visitors to keep coming back for more.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-build-an-online-membership-site-using-wordpress-in-4-easy-steps\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Build_an_Online_Membership_Site_Using_WordPress_In_4_Easy_Steps\"><\/span>How to Build an Online Membership Site Using WordPress (In 4 Easy Steps)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we\u2019ve covered the benefits of running a membership site, let\u2019s look at how you can create one. For the purposes of this post, we\u2019re going to assume that you already have a <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/how-to-choose-the-best-web-hosting-for-your-membership-site\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"Choosing the Best Web Hosting for Your Membership Site (4 Uncommon Questions You Should Ask)\">hosting plan<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/how-to-choose-the-best-domain-name-for-your-membership-site\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"How to Choose the Best Domain Name for Your Membership Site\">domain name<\/a>, and that you\u2019ve <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/article\/how-to-install-wordpress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">installed WordPress<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve completed all of those tasks, you can start in on the steps below to transform your WordPress site into a fully-functioning membership platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-set-up-a-membership-plugin\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Set_Up_a_Membership_Plugin\"><\/span><strong>1. Set Up a Membership Plugin<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are plenty of WordPress membership plugins available, but for this tutorial, we\u2019ll be using <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MemberPress<\/a>. Our plugin makes it easy to create a membership site by automatically generating all the relevant pages, including login and account pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with most membership plugins, you can use MemberPress to restrict access to specific content and features. However, it also supports more advanced techniques such as <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/the-skinny-on-drip-content\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">content dripping<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/launch-an-affiliate-program-for-your-membership-site\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">affiliate marketing<\/a>. It integrates with popular payment gateways such as PayPal and Stripe out-of-the-<a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/go\/box\" title=\"Box affiliate link\" class=\"pretty-link-keyword\"rel=\"nofollow \" target=\"_blank\">box<\/a>, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need tech support with MemberPress, the experts over at <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/go\/wptechsupport\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow sponsored\" title=\"WP Tech Support\">WP Tech Support<\/a> are well-versed in all things MemberPress and WordPress. Give them a shout 24\/7 for and and all troubleshooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve activated MemberPress, you can configure the plugin to your liking by navigating to <em>MemberPress > Settings. <\/em>If you\u2019re planning to monetize your membership site, we\u2019d recommend setting up at least one payment gateway in the <em>Payments<\/em> tab:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"440\" src=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/memberpress-payment-gateway-1024x440.png\" alt=\"MemberPress' payment gateway settings. \" class=\"wp-image-24728\" srcset=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/memberpress-payment-gateway-1024x440.png 1024w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/memberpress-payment-gateway-300x129.png 300w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/memberpress-payment-gateway-768x330.png 768w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/memberpress-payment-gateway-1536x659.png 1536w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/memberpress-payment-gateway-2048x879.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, you can add payment gateways by clicking on the plus (+) icon and following the on-screen instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-configure-your-membership-levels\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Configure_Your_Membership_Levels\"><\/span><strong>2. Configure Your Membership Levels<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The next step is creating memberships that <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/how-to-effectively-title-your-membership-levels\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">visitors will want to purchase<\/a>. There are many <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/what-types-of-content-can-you-create-for-a-membership-site\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"What Types of Content Can You Create for a Membership Site?\">different ways you can go about this<\/a>, which we\u2019ve covered in other posts on this site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have an idea for your first membership, head to <em>MemberPress > Membership > Add New<\/em> to add it to your website. Here you can give it a name and set its price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point, you can also decide whether this membership will require a one-time payment or have an expiration date at which point it will need to be renewed. Recurring memberships mean ongoing revenue, but lifetime memberships can seem like an attractive deal to bargain-hungry visitors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"381\" src=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/memberpress-membership-level-1024x381.png\" alt=\"Creating a membership level in MemberPress.\" class=\"wp-image-24729\" srcset=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/memberpress-membership-level-1024x381.png 1024w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/memberpress-membership-level-300x112.png 300w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/memberpress-membership-level-768x286.png 768w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/memberpress-membership-level-1536x572.png 1536w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/memberpress-membership-level-2048x763.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A custom welcome email can help you make a positive first impression on new members.

This often involves <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/10-mistakes-to-avoid-when-creating-content\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">creating compelling, members-only content<\/a>.
