Part 1 : Top 7 Membership Site Myths – Episode #2
Don't let these misconceptions keep you from starting a Membership Site
Welcome to DAP Cast - the Official DAP Podcast! I'm your host Veena Prashanth. I'm the co-founder of DigitalAccessPass.com, a premium membership plugin for WordPress, fondly known as DAP. I'm also the founder of SmartPayCart, shopping cart platform for WordPress, fondly known as SPC. Check out SmartPayCart.com to learn mroe about SPC.
in this Episode, I'm going to talk about common misconceptions about Membership Sites!
Alright, let's dive right into it.
Here are the Top 7 Membership Site Myths:
This is my pet peeve about membership sites. There is this big misconception about membership sites that it's only for selling recurring memberships. Yes, it's understandable that people get confused because of the term "membership", but there's no excuse for the so called membership site experts to also talk about membership sites as if they are one dimensional and can only serve one purpose.
A membership site will allow you to deliver different types of content (downloadable files, wordpress pages, posts, videos, audio files, online courses etc), and it'll allow you to package and sell your content in a variety of ways.
A recurring membership is just one of the many possible membership site models.

Membership Site Example - Deliver a Lead Magnet
You can create a membership site to just deliver your lead magnet.
This will help you build your list with qualified prospects and get them
used to the whole Membership Site Experience.
And later on, you can scale it and add paid products, build sales funnel etc.
I've built most of my membership sites this way.
Even this site - DAPCast.com, where it's just my Podcast site, I've made it a membership site!
I made it a membership site to just deliver behind-the-scenes videos, but in future,
I might deliver my paid course ( on membership site of course 🙂 ) from this site.
In the meantime, this membership site is helping me build my list with qualified prospects.
Check out my other Membership Site - MonetizeContentMaximizeProfits.com to see
how I deliver just a lead magnet using this Membership Site.
