Adding an Online Forum to your Membership Site Membership Geeks Podcast with Mike Morrison
-
- Marketing
I regularly talk about how your members will join for the content, but they'll STAY for the community; and that's something we see reflected in every successful membership site we've been part of.
But what options do you actually have for creating your community from a technical standpoint? How do you add an online forum to your membership?
In this episode I talk more about the importance of community, forums in particular, and discuss the various routes you can go down to add one to your website.
In this episode, I discuss:
How adding a forum gives your passionate members a space to engage with others Why community is a vital asset for membership sites Examples of Wordpress plugins and stand-alone software you can use to set up your forum Why a Facebook group isn't an adequate replacement for building your own community
