Membership Site Blog

Should your membership site blog be private or public?

In the membership sites I run, I find it depends on what the goal of the membership site is.

I have a public membership site blog if I am as interested in developing the website as an expert website as well as a private members only website.

If I am only selling the membership aspect you can just have a sales page and then you can use a blog to publish information in the members area.

If you use WP Wishlist Member you will be able to make the front page of your membership site blog public but visitors will need to join the site if they want to read beyond the summary of what they can see.  You can even make some of the pages public and some of the pages private.  That makes the whole thing much easier and it makes your marketing site a better sales tool as well.
