Don’t confuse the phrase “membership site” with just monthly recurring billing. That’s just a pricing model. A membership site is any site where clients, customers or even just subscribers log in to access any form of protected content or interact with your business via an online account.
A membership site is extremely powerful for all business types. You can use it as just a list building tool to build an engaged community, to sell online courses, provide customers a service portal, online coaching… you name it.
I am a massive fan of the membership site model. I also build them for clients all the time.
