A membership website is a website that has pages of content that are only available to members. People visiting the site usually have to register themselves on the site to be provided with a user name and password to get access to the member-only information. The content is usually articles, but may vary from site to site.
Membership can be free or paid.
On a free membership web site the site owner provides access to their premium content in exchange for a persons contact details. The goal of these sites is usually to build an email newsletter list through which other products and services can be sold.
Paid membership web sites offer access to premium content in exchange for a monetary payment. This can be a one-off payment e.g. $1 for 24 hours access, or more usually a recurring payment for ongoing access e.g. $10 per month. Subscription rates vary from $10 to several thousand dollars a year. Subscriptions for membership are usually done on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. These payments are processed automatically via the website.
One of the most important aspect of a membership site is security of the premium content. The site owner has to ensure that people cannot get access to the membership area of your website without signing up or being approved by an administrator.
This is where Wp-Private fits in. Using Wp-Private you can not only secure your content but also provide public access to parts of the content to create curiosity or the urge to register among visitors. You can even block a particular user(s) from viewing your valuable content.
