Guest Philippe Moisan Posted October 21, 2014 Report Posted October 21, 2014 Hello everyone, I want to start a membership site. Not a TE or mailer, simply a site about video marketing. For a long time, I had considered using a WordPress plug-in. But right now, I am thinking of starting it on the Ning network. The reasons are that I'm not a programmer, and if my site was hacked or in trouble, I'm afraid it could be tough to recover, or it would cost a lot. Maybe I'm paranoid. I don't know much about Ning. They have a 14-day trial, after that you pay minimum $25/month for 1,000 members. It seems pretty easy to set up. Would you go ahead with a WP site ? Or do you know other alternatives to Ning ? Thanks! Philippe BrandonCok, KarasevLS, ThomasCAW and 2 others 5 Quote
Darren Olander Posted October 22, 2014 Report Posted October 22, 2014 As far as I know ning is just for social communities, I'm not sure what control you would have in there for what you want to do... what is it you are looking to do with video marketing - like training? I would think wordpress would be better suited or at least with plug-ins you can make it do mostly whatever you need. Quote Founder of Marketing CheckpointMy Blog
paulserban Posted November 1, 2014 Report Posted November 1, 2014 I recommend WP also, is more easy and you have all the control of the site with some plugins.

Matt Koshko Posted November 22, 2014 Report Posted November 22, 2014 Depending on your strategy/plan, knowledge of Wordpress & coding, and how much time you want to spend developing a website, there may be less complicated solutions. Do you want a social network? That's what Ning is designed to provide, but in terms of content delivery, drip feeds, and the marketing capabilities...I'd be surprised if you'd be happy with Ning as a solution (depending on your plan).

Guest Philippe Moisan Posted November 23, 2014 Report Posted November 23, 2014 Hey guys, Thanks for the feedback. I decided to go ahead with Optimize Press. The drip feed part is what made my decision clear, thanks to Matt for confirming that. Also, I'd like solid support, and Optimize Press seems to offer that. Philippe Quote

Bruno Duarte Posted January 2, 2016 Report Posted January 2, 2016 I recently came accross this membership site script..I downloaded the script, but to be honest, im not even sure where to start. So this is still hanging on my dashboard. Either way, is free and complete, you can offcourse purchase additional plugins to it to make something more massive. Depending on what you are looking for, perhaps you can have a look here Then again, since I myself have this script, im very open for ideas to start something simple but profitable Best,Bruno Quote http://thedreamlifestyleforyou.com/images/468x60-a6.jpg
JennMcMillan Posted January 11, 2016 Report Posted January 11, 2016 I'm also curious how Philippe is doing?? Maybe he made it big time and retired lol. I want to get to the point of maintaining my own site as well cause after a few years its obvious that the people on the admin end of MMO's are making the real money. Quote
CraigMcBeth Posted January 14, 2016 Report Posted January 14, 2016 I think if you want to make as much money as possible, you need to implement some kind of recurring charge option that will re bill the client without their specific approval each time. When I'm crunching my own numbers at year end, I notice the products/services that have cost me the most are the ones that are auto-withdrawal. So when implementing the payment portion of your site, think long and hard about making the costs ongoing, as opposed to larger one time payments. My 2 cents anyways. Quote
