Why Start A Membership Site
Membership sites can be free or paid. Some of the main reasons for starting a membership site are:
1) To create a growing database of people focused around a common interest.
2) To generate a recurring income.
3) To give exclusive access to specific content or information to registered members only.
Growing A Database Of People Focused Around A Common Interest
Just off the top of my head, I can think of the following examples of blog membership sites someone with an entrepreneurial mindset may want to build:
- business blog
- christian blog
- fashion blog
- finance blog
- green blog
- mom blog
- music blog
- sports blog
- technology blog
- etc …
All of the above target specific interests and niches that could be turned into a profitable membership site (e.g. by attracting advertisers targeting people interested in your specific blog topic), or just a great place for passionate people to hang out, meet other like-minded people and get more information about the things they’re interested in.
Generating A Recurring Income
If you decide to start a paid membership site and are able to provide regular content of great value, then your blog has the potential to earn you a very nice income from your one-time effort (i.e. creating the content) multiplied by a growing number of members who will pay you to access your content and information.
Giving Exclusive Access To Content To Registered Members Only
Another reason for turning your blog or sections of your blog into a membership site, is that you may not want to make your content available to everyone who visits your site then leaves without giving you the opportunity to contact them again. By having people register for your membership area, you can keep in touch, send them updates and special offers, etc.
These are just some of the reasons for turning your blog into a membership site using the WP Membership Tool plugin.

Mass Automation Tools
I own several software tools created by the folks at Mass Automation (WordPress Cloner and RSS Bookmarker), and I highly recommend their products. Their software is robust and they are highly responsive in terms of customer service. I have no doubt that WP Membership Tool will be one of their best-selling and most popular tools yet.
