for creating content for your membership site is to try to keep it as evergreen as possible. By this I mean that it should be information that is useful not only today but, next month, in 6 months and preferably in 2 years' time. This way whatever content you do create you, and your subscribers, can reap the benefits from it over a long period of time. Of course, you'll need to update it from time to time but try your best to go as evergreen as possible! When it comes to what kind of content to create then really it's your choice. Use the "Content Mix" (as I like to call it) to ensure that you account for your members' differing preferences for varying types of content. Which Membership Site Software Is Best? 1. Membergate -- Expensive monthly cost but very good 2. Wishlist Member -- Much cheaper and a one off cost but also very good Unless you have specific reasons for not doing so my recommendation is to go with Wishlist Member which integrates with WordPress. You'll also need a good WordPress theme to make your site look attractive and for this I'd recommend OptimizePress . Pricing Start low to launch your site and then increase the price. Not only will this get more members through the door to start with it will also encourage them not to cancel after you raise the price for new members. It's much hard to decrease the price than increase it
