If you are trying to build a private membership site for your content, there are a lot of great options in 2018.

You can use Wordpress, for example, and any number of dedicated content restriction plugins. (anything from paid membership plugins, to more “protection” oriented plugins like RCP. (restrict content pro)

You can use a SAAS service like Patreon.

Or, you can use a dedicated online LMS, ecommerce platform and membership site all wrapped up in one, like Podia.

I’ve tried just about every way possible to create a membership site. Here is why Podia rocks. (watch the video above for a demonstration)

  1. Podia charges no transaction fees.
  2. As a maker, marketer, artist, author or creative……You ALWAYS should control what you create. Podia is your brand, your business, your content and your community. When you use something like Patreon, you’ll never be sure, or secure, that your content or community is really “yours”, as you’re building your brand, on their real estate.

3. Podia offers built in affiliates, memberships, email marketing, drip automation, digital downloads, pre-launch pages, e-commerce, online LMS for classes and courses, and beautiful landing pages for your brand and business….ALL on your own domain.

You can also try Podia for 30 days, 100% free. (no credit card required)
