And is it also the easiest way to build a membership site on a low budget.  Your WordPress Subscription Site can be set up with a great tool called Wishlist Member.

The wishlist member plugin enables you to set up a  WordPress Subscription Site in a matter of minutes.  I bought the multi-site version and have used it on several sites to make money already.

It is also a great way to build a private membership portal, even without charging, because membership management is easy and WordPress as a publishing platform is super easy.

One of the best things I did with Wishlist Member is to build a private membership site as a free bonus to another product I was selling.

My favorite thing about Wishlist Member is the job they do on the video before you ever decide to buy the wordpress membership plugin from them.  I spent over an hour on the free videos before I decided it was the right tool for me.  Also, since they have a money back guarantee, you really can be sure that Wishlist Member is going to be great, or you should really ask for your money back.  Had I not loved it and thought it was the best way to set up a WordPress Subscription Site, I would have not hesistated to ask for a refund.

1. Private Sales Portal – Use Wishlist Member to create a private sales portal for your sales team or for your affiliates.
2. Course – You can develop a one time course using WP Wishlist Member.  It does not have to be a monthly thing – and you can later upsell items as they stay involved in the course.
3. Intranet – WP Wishlist Member is a great way to create a simple intranet for your organization.
4. Upsell – I use Wishlist Member to manage a free membership site – but the free site is not open to the public, it is an upsell for another product where the customers that join via my reseller account get bonus training.

I am sure there are even more uses for Wishlist member that you can think of.  Feel free to leave ideas in the comments area.
