In case you haven’t noticed membership sites are all the rage today. As a matter of fact they have been one of the best ways to create recurring income for a long, long time. The income potential for membership sites far outranks many other business forms. If you are able to create a membership site and only gain 100 customers at $20 per month, you’ve just created a $2,000 per month business. If you set your membership site up correctly you may even be able to step back and let it run on autopilot. Create a few of those and your money worries could be over forever.

One of the keys to running a successful membership site is to find a good membership site script. The script you choose will help you ensure your site runs smoothly, it will protect your membership content from the public and it will allow you to automatically process payments from your members. This will ensure you get paid each month from each member.

When you start looking at membership site scripts there are some key components that you want to make sure your script has. The components that are most important are listed below with a brief explanation for you.

1. Automatic Payment Processing
   The whole idea of having a membership site is to receive payments from your members automatically, each and every month. This is why you must get your members credit card information when they sign up. If you do not automate this process then you will have to manually send out invoices each month and this will allow your members the option of canceling. When payments are automatically processed each month, your members are locked into their membership. Even though your membership site subscription can be canceled any time your members wishes, you don’t want to offer the option to leave each month. Your membership site script should also coordinate with your payment processor so you can use whichever one you want.
2. Automatic Member Activation
   When your new members sign up they should be automatically be added to your database and allowed to access the content in your website. You want to make it as easy as possible. After all we do live in an instant gratification society. If you members have to jump through a bunch of hoops to get to the content they are paying for, they are not going to be happy. If they are not happy, how long do you think they will stay? Start your new relationship out on the right foot. Make sure the membership site script you choose will automatically send your new member to the member’s area so they can access the content you are provding
3. Affiliate Program
   If you want to be a smart membership site owner then you will make sure that your members know that they can promote your membership site as an affiliate. This is a great way to get your members to sell the benefits of your site for you. Your membership site script should allow you to accept affiliates and also handle the distribution of affiliate commissions each month. If your membership site script has an an affiliate program you will multiply the earnings from your membership site.

Last but not least, is the friendliness of your membership site script. The script should be easy for you to install and administer and your members should be able to navigate and access your content with ease. You don’t want to end up paying someone else hundreds of dollars to have your membership site work correctly. There should be good documentation that covers everything about the script so you can find what you need when you need it. If the creator offers help with installation the installation, then all the better. Getting a membership site up and running is a bit of work and you don’t want to be worrying about all the technical aspects.
