Niche forums, membership sites, and paywalls are a great way to generate a consistent and recurring revenue stream for yourself.
There are many plugins and software that make the whole process easier so you can focus on growing and moderating the community.
bbPress is a forum software created by Automattic (the same guys who made WordPress) and is focused on ease of integration, ease of use, web standards, and speed. They’ve kept things as small and light as possible while still allowing for great add-on features through WordPress’s extensive plugin system. You can build profitable, niche communites using bbPress by setting up paid memberships.
aMember is a membership management software that allows website owners to accept subscription payments, manage customer profiles, deliver digital content, integrate with your blog, forum, or CMS, send opt-in newsletters, and run your own affiliate program.
WishList Member is a powerful, yet easy to use membership solution that can turn any WordPress site into a full-blown membership site. Just unzip and upload the plugin, and within minutes you’ll have your own membership site up and running… complete with protected, members-only content, integrated payments, member management, and much more.
Restrict Content Pro allows you to lock all your exclusive content and allow access only to members. The platform allows you to accept credit cards with Stripe, Braintree, 2Checkout, or PayPal Website Payments Pro. Restrict Content Pro also supports PayPal Standard and Express, as well as multiple payment options at the same time.
Member Mouse is an easy to use WordPress membership plugin that allows you to sell products, subscriptions and memberships, setup a password protected member’s area, offer 1-click upsells and downsells, manage customers, automate customer service, track critical retention metrics and more.
Some other membership plugins and content lockers worth checking out include SubHub, PivotShare, and Cleeng.
