[Ec-ncuc] Fwd: Introducing the Optional Paid Access Add-On

[Brenden Kuerbis]

FYI.

The Ning platform, which we use for hosting our website (which I haven't
touched in months), just introduced the ability to charge members for
access.  There are associated usage fees (see below), so it might not be
economical.  But integrating this capability might be something to keep in
mind as the organization evolves.

Here's a detailed FAQ:

*Paid Membership*

The easiest way to make money is to charge members for entry into the
community. Set up a rate and time for membership and let everybody know. You
get paid immediately every time a new member joins.


*Paid Groups*

Run a business that needs a networking space for VIPs? Teach an online
course that requires a place and a payment? Paid Groups lets you put up a
paywall inside your network for premium members only.


*Paid Content*

Have you created premium content? Now, you can charge for it. By putting up
a paywall for Pages, you can monetize videos, music, articles, reports,
e-books, webinars ? any content you can place on a Page.

*Ask for Donations*

   - Not ready to be a full-fledged entrepreneur? Use the "suggested
   donation" option to help cover your costs.
   - Raising money for a good cause? Encourage new members to make a
   difference when they join.
   - Donations are a low-pressure way to keep the coffers full.
