Creating a membership website businesses

I recently launched Islandpreneurs.co.uk a membership website for businesses to connect online in Guernsey to meet, collaborate, share ideas, challenges and for social events.

The group will be sharing useful content and will be a hub for Guernsey business so there will be a joining fee. We also want commitment from our members.

The website will offer a free trial (a 3 month trial to see if the group suits their needs) with various membership options.

Let’s take a look at Membership software options and functionality.

Create private area for your members & customers.
Provide relevant and private information & documents.
Create and provide personalised courses.
Gain leads for further marketing.
Become a known expert in your field.
Create loyal customer base by adding value.
Creates a community to gain feedback, opinions to improve the business.

Your membership software should give users the ability to choose different levels of membership with a free option for trialing your service or those that just want to access standard content.

The different levels will give members access to selective content unique to them.

Whether you charge a membership fee, or not, having visitors login to your website to access content is a good way to gain email addresses, commitment to you website and grow your online business.

One of the main reasons for having a membership site is to give people access to online training videos and training documents.

Evergreen webinars can be accessed 24/7 so students can learn at any time of the day.

They also benefit from personalised training courses including videos to suit their needs.

Creating a community for people with the same interests to gain knowledge and advice i.e. a Chess Community to talk moves and tricks from experienced players.

I created Islandpreneurs.co.uk to be a ‘hub’ for entrepreneurs in Guernsey to share knowledge, leads, expertise, connecting people, ask questions, gain advise and information. An online community involves having a private forum area.

Within the online private community you can host live webinars for paying members.

E-mail integration – email newsletters to members
Flexible payment gateway – numerous payment options
Options- ability for members to upgrade
Customization – branded membership pages

Make your website more valuable by giving visitors the option to become a Member of the website.

Having a log in area gives you greater knowledge about who your customers are and gaining feedback from them will help grow the business.

Members gain valuable resources i.e. videos, webinars, training documents, expert knowledge, e-books,  discounts, forums and private business related material.

Once customers have joined you can mail out offers and newsletters to members to keep them informed.

If you are a trainer, coach or anyone with expert knowledge then having a membership site will be beneficial and a good way to make an online income.

There are software solutions to suit your budget so we can help find the right solution and integrate this with your website.
