2. 💸 Subscription Models

There are several types of subscription models for membership websites. Choosing the right one depends on the type of site and target audience.

  • Recurring Subscriptions: Monthly, quarterly, or yearly subscriptions that auto-renew (common for dating, education, or SaaS websites).
  • One-Time Payment: Users pay a single fee for lifetime access to certain content (e.g., access to an exclusive course or e-book).
  • Freemium Model: Offers basic services for free while charging for premium features (common in SaaS, gaming, or dating websites).

Example:

  • Dating site: Free users can browse profiles, but premium users can send unlimited messages.
  • Online learning platform: Free tier includes limited course access, while paid tiers offer certificates and one-on-one mentorship.
