Ever since I read Mike Filsaime’s Butterfly Marketing, I plan to use membership site software for all of my sites to integrate my subscription services, product download and affiliate management. However there are so many choices for membership site software and I really want the powerful and full-featured membership and subscription software for my website, so I began testing them.
I was recommended to use aMember Pro so I tested it.
Simple Installation and Free Installation
You can either did the installation yourself or you can opt for free installation. Yes, aMember offers free installation in 24 hours.
I did the installation myself and it was pretty straight forward:
I just needed to upload it to my web hosting and it self extracted automatically.
Then I just needed to follow its step-by-step guide,
Created table using cPanel,
Setup cron,
Done!
Integrated with Many Payment Systems
I like this feature because having only PayPal as my payment system is very risky. Once my PayPal account was put under review so I couldn’t receive payment nor transferred my money there. It was frustrated to solve it with PayPal.
These are among the aMember supported payment systems: PayPal, WorldPay, ClickBank, 2Checkout, 1ShoppingCart, and many more.
Several of them also support recurring payment, which is great for membership subscription and recurring income! 
Membership Protection
Here’s another feature that I like. aMember Pro has built-in password sharing prevention. It logs the IP used to login to aMember. If there are more than 5 different IPs login within 24 hours, the suspected member account is automatically suspended. Off course this setting can be changed according to my preference.
Integrated with Autoresponder System
It’s just too bad that aMember Pro doesn’t support integration with GetResponse.biz that I’ve been using. It works with Aweber, Autoresponder Pro, HiveMail, and some others though.
Forum Integration
I also like this feature. I plan to use it sometimes. Having forum can make my members more loyal and reduce my support desk’s load because they can interact some others and support themselves
vBulletin, phpBB and SMF are among the supported forums.
WordPress and Joomla Integration
I haven’t tested this feature so I can’t really tell how it works.
Image Gallery Integration
aMember Pro supports Coppermine, 4Images, and PhotoPost so that you can show off your photos! It’s just too bad Gallery is not supported.
Affiliate Management
aMember Pro has built-in 1-tier affiliate program with recurring commissions support. I can upload banners and other promotional items for my affiliate.
Unfortunately it uses flat commission rate for all of affiliates so I can’t set special commission rate for JV partners and super affiliates.
Overall aMember Pro is a powerful and full-featured membership and subscription software. It’s great if I’m not picky with its limited affiliate management and I use GetResponse with it.
