Adding an Online Forum to your Membership Site

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
