<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nNous nous sommes entretenus avec Paul Browning, fondateur de howtonetwork.com, et lui avons demand\u00e9 de nous parler de son exp\u00e9rience en mati\u00e8re de cr\u00e9ation et de d\u00e9veloppement d'un site d'affiliation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Comment avez-vous d\u00e9marr\u00e9 votre site d'adh\u00e9sion ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n En fait, j'ai commenc\u00e9 avec les sites d'adh\u00e9sion en 2006. J'ai d\u00fb payer $10 000 pour une licence de Membergate, qui \u00e9tait la seule solution d'adh\u00e9sion d\u00e9cente disponible \u00e0 l'\u00e9poque. Cette solution me permettait de mettre en place des fonctionnalit\u00e9s de commerce \u00e9lectronique et de verrouiller des pages pour diff\u00e9rents niveaux d'adh\u00e9sion. Elle fonctionne sous Coldfusion et, apr\u00e8s quelques ann\u00e9es, est devenue tr\u00e8s limit\u00e9e, mais d'autres solutions \u00e9taient alors disponibles.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Comment vous est venue l'id\u00e9e de cr\u00e9er un site d'affiliation ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I joined a website by old school internet marketer and programmer Bill Myers. I loved the concept of having a niche site where members could join for a regular monthly fee. Cashflow is king in business, and after running a traditional high street business I didn\u2019t want the feast-and-famine money worries that come along with brick and mortar businesses.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Quels sont vos ant\u00e9c\u00e9dents et votre expertise ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I worked as a police officer in the UK for 12 years and then made a career move into IT, providing helpdesk and\u00a0network support at Cisco Systems. We were all made redundant in 2002, so I started to work for myself teaching computer networking courses. I rented hotel conference rooms when I ran a course. I really wanted to move into delivering the courses via streaming video, so I began researching how to do that. I have no programming or coding skills, and I don\u2019t want to learn them to be honest, so I wanted a point-and-click solution.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n O\u00f9 \u00eates-vous situ\u00e9 ? Y a-t-il quelque chose d'unique ou d'int\u00e9ressant \u00e0 propos de la raison pour laquelle vous \u00eates situ\u00e9 \u00e0 cet endroit ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I lived in the UK for 40 years and then decided to move to Australia with my family four years ago. By this time I\u2019d grown my online income to a significant level, so I was able to work from home. My websites run off servers in the USA, and most of my videos stream off Amazon S3 cloud servers, so I can live and work from anywhere there\u2019s an internet connection.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Quel est votre march\u00e9 ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Howtonetwork.com aide les informaticiens d\u00e9butants et interm\u00e9diaires \u00e0 r\u00e9ussir leurs examens de certification et \u00e0 mener une carri\u00e8re fructueuse. Nous couvrons les r\u00e9seaux, la virtualisation, la voix, la s\u00e9curit\u00e9, la gestion de projet et d'autres comp\u00e9tences li\u00e9es \u00e0 l'informatique. Le site est construit autour de vid\u00e9os en streaming avec des examens de fin de le\u00e7on et un forum r\u00e9serv\u00e9 aux membres.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Y a-t-il quelque chose d'unique \u00e0 propos de votre entreprise ou quelque chose d'autre que vous aimeriez que nos lecteurs sachent ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, I suppose that if I can do it anybody can. I have no programming skills and if you have a good idea you can get started for a few dollars. If it doesn\u2019t work out you can adjust or start on another idea and have a working membership site up in a few hours. With Facebook, YouTube, and e-mail newsletters it\u2019s pretty easy to reach your target audience and build a relationship of trust with them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Enfin, comment MemberPress vous a-t-il aid\u00e9 ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n J'ai dress\u00e9 une liste de tout ce dont j'avais besoin pour mon logiciel d'adh\u00e9sion. Je voulais qu'il fonctionne avec WordPress, qu'il ait plusieurs niveaux, qu'il fonctionne avec Stripe, qu'il soit facile \u00e0 utiliser, qu'il permette aux membres de g\u00e9rer leurs propres comptes sans intervention manuelle et qu'il offre une excellente assistance. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ve built several membership websites over the past few years and it always ended up with me having to compromise on something important. I also found that the support for some membership plugins was terrible or you had to do PHP coding to get it working properly and I\u2019ve got no clue about all that. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I use MemberPress with WPCourseware which allows members to follow individual courses, take exams, and print out certificates of completion. I tested achievement badges as well as rewards for posting on and answering forum questions. Stripe takes care of the credit card payments and monthly billing, and chargebacks are almost non-existent.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n MemberPress has scaled well from the first few hundred joiners, and we\u2019ve had over 2,500 join so far. There have been a few teething problems, but it works like a well oiled machine now.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019d like to thank Paul for his time and congratulate him on using MemberPress to help him create and run a very successful membership site. What Paul said is true, \u201c\u2026I suppose that if I can do it anybody can. I have no programming skills, and if you have a good idea you can get started for a few dollars.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prenez donc quelques minutes pour consulter howtonetwork.com<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pour en savoir plus sur la cr\u00e9ation de votre propre site web d'adh\u00e9sion, consultez ce billet<\/a> pour 25 id\u00e9es de sites web pour les membres.
