When you start up a membership site, you naturally want to give your members a perfect experience. Or at least as close to perfect as possible.

The key to that is finding the right tools, software, and plugins to help you deliver a fantastic membership experience. But it’s tough to find the right tools and even harder to know whose opinions to trust.

In this episode of The Membership Geeks podcast, your hosts, Mike Morrison and Callie Willows share some expert tips on finding the closest thing to ‘the perfect plugin’ and how to find reviews you can trust.

Essential Learning Points:

• Why not all reviews can be trusted (they may be paid affiliates)
• What works for one membership service may not work for yours
• How people’s past experiences can affect their opinions and suggestions for plugins
• Why great functionality is the most important thing to look for

Key Quotes:

“Whatever the best option is, the thing that gets all the five-star reviews, just know that you don't have to go with that just because everyone says it's the best. It might not be the right one for you.”

“You need to be aware that you will not find an off-the-shelf membership plugin or software that will 100% satisfy your requirements.”

“The only way to find the best solution to your particular problem, if you're asking in a public forum, is to be specific about what features you need and what integrations do you need.”
