The problem with today's membership scripts is the pain of integration with half a dozen other software scripts to make it sing for your membership business. The other issue with some of the membership services is high cost in the thousands before you open your doors for business.
Membership software developers haven't created an all-in-one script that is sweetly integrated, so business owners and entrepreneurs like us don't have to experience the CRUP of integrating all the pieces of the puzzle, ie.
- CMS (content management system),
- member gateway,
- email autoresponder module,
- affiliate management module,
- payment gateways,
- timed-content-moduling,
- secure media servers etc.
On the other hand, there are membership services that have all of the above available that charge an arm and leg - not something that small biz owners or entrepreneurs can handle in their budgets.
What's Possible Today?
Shane Goldberg, CEO of ExtremeMember (http://ExtremeMember.org) has toiled the last 2 years to develop a brilliant integrated solution at a very affordable price point for business owners, consultants and entrepreneurs.
A husband and father of 2 lovely young children who lives in Adelaide, Australia, Shane experienced the pain of piece-mealing his own membership solution back in the day when he had a photoshop tutorial membership site. Hating that experience, he sought to develop a strong North American and European development team. Together, they rocked out with what you now see at http://ExtremeMember.org.
Christmas in July?
That was my experience with poking around backstage, setting up my next tutorial membership project - like Christmas all over again!
Instead of writing all the details, Shane and I had an impromptu 2-parter interview ("pain of integrating membership software" and "extrememember best features walkthrough") I want to share with you.
In addition, a week later, we organized an 'open mic' interview where over 140 interested business owners could ask their questions. The videos below offer you that experience. (The hour long recorded video has been split into 8 x 10-minute short clips for easier download and consumption).
Next Steps
If you're moving forward with new membership or product business sites, and want an integrated solution that will keep you young and sane <wink>, this is what I recommend:
01. REGISTER FOR TRIAL
Click http://ExtremeMember.org and register for the $2.95 15-day trial.
This will effectively give you a backstage access tour to determine if this fits 'the bill'. Kick tires, give it a whirl, and it may be "Christmas in July" for you like it is for me 
Shane's a good natured fellow with a heart for supporting his customers, so he's capping the beta release at 200 accounts. After 200, he's closing the release, so he can support us new customers effectively. (Note that it launched July 15th, 6p PT, and with the word spreading, I hope its not too late for you if you're considering the trial).
My recommendation? For $2.95, register for the trial. Need I say more?
02. VIEW INTERVIEW VIDEOS
View the short 2-part interviews (here and here) & short 8 x 10-minute multi-part videos below.
