I am a big fan of building membership sites.

Some people think of them as only tools to create reoccurring revenue, but they can also be used for other things.

For example, access to a membership site can be a free upgrade or bonus when someone purchases something.

Or it can be a way to train sales people, affiliates or virtual assistants.

WordPress is a great free tool, but it is not the best for managing membership sites.  Unless you buy the WordPress Membership Software plugin called Wishlist Member.

I have use this for years in a variety of ways to increase sales and create products that generate monthly profits for my business.

Now we also build custom applications such as our lead generation membership site, but in the past we used Wishlist Member to quickly build sites that are very effective for us.

The only reason our latest membership site does not use the Wishlist Membership Software is because it has many lead generation tools in it that make it very powerful, but require more than what WordPress alone can do.

But if you are just setting up a site for training or monthly release of digital products, Wishlist Member is for you.
