Types of Membership Sites

Essentially, there are 2 kinds of membership websites.

There are free sites and there are paid websites. These membership websites have one thing in common. Their memberships are composed of individuals who have the same needs or share a common interests.

One can still, however, buy a domain, put up a site and not pay for memberships yet still get to choose who to admit and who not to admit.The profit will eventually be coming from sales to members after they have signed up. There are network websites that are offered for free that you can use. Two examples of free membership sites are Group sites on MSN and groups on Yahoo. Anyone can join and put up these websites free of charge. There are no paid administrators or moderators.

On every site, there are rules on how to join and the code of conduct for that particular website. It also features varied topics and subjects. There are many support� sites for people with health problems or concerns and for those who have grieved the loss of loved ones. There are sites for those who are passionate about crafts like quilting or woodworking.

For those who like traveling, there are also sites available for them.

There are websites for various age groups from teens to seniors. There are software available for chatting and space for posting pictures, document and links for every member of the site. If there's one thing these free sites don't have, it is access to lists and specialized information like music lessons.

Paid for membership sites are built by companies or individuals with the aim of making money by supplying tough to find information, access to specialized data or lists, or instruction in a range of fields. The operation of the membership sites are either done by those who own the site or those who are paid by the website owner to check and look after the site. Not like in the free membership sites, the topics are more diverse and more specialized in websites with paid membership.
