Learn to create a website for your subscribers in an easy way
Membership sites are the new e-commerce. They are a way of offering recurring payment content or services, which provides constant benefits through subscribers. There are different types of membership sites: product, service, community, and content. It is likely that, perhaps without knowing it, you are already part of one of them, such as Spotify or Netflix.
In this course, Joan Boluda–strategic online-marketing consultant and specialist in e-commerce and membership sites–teaches you how to create membership sites with two free programs (WordPress and Paid Memberships Pro) so that you can benefit from your knowledge or skills.
