• Memberships give you recurring payments and is
  one of the most underutilized ways of monetizing
  your website. Its not a one-time purchase, like
  an ebook or a training course.The members send
  money to your account every month.
• Obviously, a customer who pays 20 over a
  12-month period is preferred over the customer
  who will pay 240 there and then. But most
  business owners think short-term and therefore
  choose the customer who pays on the spot. This is
  one of the reasons why most business owners avoid
  having membership programs.
• Another reason is that it is difficult to set up
  and run such programs. Well, not when you are
  using WordPress.
