According to the author of the following video, membership software is imperative.\u00a0 Oddly enough, he also happens to be selling membership software and only gives one choice of membership software.<\/p>\n

\nAll you need for a basic membership program is an e-mail program.\u00a0 It could be something as simple as Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird (which is still free!).\u00a0 Depending on the size of your list, you could use an actual autoresponder program like AWeber<\/a> or iContact<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you’re just starting out, think about what you are offering in your membership program and how many clients you wish to serve.\u00a0 For example, let’s say you have a $97\/mo coaching membership and you have 20 clients, you may not need a membership software program.\u00a0 Once you’ve gotten a few $2k months under your belt, you may decide to begin another membership program and are better able to handle the additional software expense.<\/p>\n

You want your membership program to deliver content to your membership clients in a timely manner and you want them to be able to “opt out” when they’ve had enough.\u00a0 It’s really that simple.<\/p>\n

If you provide too much content to your members at one time, they may become overwhelmed by the amount and opt out because they cannot possibly digest that much in one session.\u00a0 So spoon feed them a bit at a time and give them time to process the information and put it into use.<\/p>\n

Remember to employ the simple solutions first and fully utilize the resources you already possess before you invest in software that may or may not give you a return on your money.\u00a0 The software does not always determine the success of your membership program.<\/p>\n

The marketing of your membership program will give you a much larger return on your investment…then<\/strong><\/em> you can afford and will need the fancy software.\u00a0 Get the clients in the door first and use the magic of OPM (other people’s money) to purchase the membership tools.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
