Fortunately, converting to a membership model is easy and affordable. But it does take time and patience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Key Features Your Membership Site May Need<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To support the membership model, your existing website may need at least a few features. At a minimum, those should include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
A secure member signup form<\/li>\n\n\n\n
A way to safely accept payments<\/li>\n\n\n\n
A tool to restrict content behind a paywall<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
For an example of a good, full-featured membership site, take a look at Costco\u2019s membership signup<\/a> screen:<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
$\"Costco$ <\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
When you select a membership tier, the site offers you a signup form:<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
$\"Costco$ <\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
While Costco\u2019s membership model doesn\u2019t live exclusively online, the site does illustrate what a good start to the signup process could look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
