Membership Software
MembersGear
MembersGear is what I use to run my membership site along with the other services listed below. These products are what I use on my site and is used in my business setup. I highly recommend these because the costs are low compared to the ones below for sale and it has features that you would spend in more expensive products. The one nice thing about this one is I own it and I have total control of its operation, whereas Member Snap, Aweber, Getresponse, etc. is owned and run by someone else.
Paygear
This product is shown here because it interfaces with MembersGear very well. It fee are much lower than Clickbank and others. It is what I use for handleing product sales and it interfaces to Paypal very well. It has all the features that are needed for handleing shopping cart type interfacing.
ListMailPro
This product also interfaces very well with MembersGear software. This product has been around for quite a while and has proven that it can handle most of the email and list building duties for my business. It is far cheaper to run as an email handler than Aweber or Getresponse because there are no monthly fees involved. The only cost is the cost for a license and that is it.
It also does what the big boys do without the fancy additions. Here what it is capable of doing:
And like I said above it interfaces with MembersGear as follows:
When a new member signs up as a new member, the information from the signup also is applied to the email services. So this way the person can get email notices about the product or membership that he has signed up for. Of course he still has to do the double opin to verify that they want this service. It makes my life easier by doing this automatically.
