Choosing the Best Site Membership Script

A membership site script is a piece of code that gets installed on your membership website. The script's job is to ensure that your site is not only protected from public eyes, it should also keep your membership site running smoothly every day.

Simply stated, choosing a quality membership site script will be your key to operating a successful, easy to install, member consistent website that runs on autopilot.

A good membership script will…

1. Protect your membership content from public eyes
2. Help you automatically process payments from your members so you can get paid each month
3. Help you promote your membership site

Let's take a look at the components a quality membership script should provide…

Automatic Payment Processing

You need the ability to take Automatic Payments from your subscribers. This is important because when payments are automatically processed each month, your members will be more likely to continue with their membership.

If you have to manually send a payment request each month, you're giving your members an option to drop their membership. Even though membership site subscriptions can be canceled at any time, you don’t want to give them the option of leaving; you want the payments to be automatic. You'll of course need to make that clear at subscription sign up time.

Also I prefer using payment processors like PayPal and Clickbank, if you'll also be using these options make sure that the site script is able to work with these payment processors so that you don't need a merchant account.

Automatic Subscriber Activation

Make sure your membership site script automatically forwards your new member to the member’s area so they can take advantage of your content immediately.

The beauty of the internet is instant access to information so as new members subscribe you need to allow them to automatically be added to your database files. The last thing you want to do is make your new members jump through hoops in order to get the content they just paid for. This is a new, hopefully lasting relationship you're establishing with your members and first impressions are lasting ones so start your new relationship out on the right foot.

Affiliate Program Option

I'm a big proponent of offering your own affiliate program, whether it is for specific products or your membership website. Affiliate programs are a powerful recruiting option because they have the potential to substantially multiply your earnings.

Most good membership site scripts will offer some type of affiliate program option but make sure your script can accept affiliates and handle the distribution of affiliate commissions accurately each month.
