In this episode of the Membership Geeks Podcast, I tackle the dangers of blindly following membership plugin recommendations you see in Facebook groups and online communities.

I discuss why generic advice can often lead you astray, and share practical steps for cutting through the noise to make tech choices that truly fit your unique membership business.

You'll learn how to critically assess plugin advice and what questions you need to ask yourself—and others—before committing to any platform.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting plugin recommendations, this episode will help you make smarter decisions.

In this episode:

  • Why is asking, “What’s the best membership plugin?” a potentially risky question in online communities?
  • How can you tell if someone’s plugin recommendation is actually relevant to your specific business needs?
  • What key factors should you consider before choosing a membership plugin for your site?
  • How can you avoid falling for hype, affiliate-driven suggestions, or outdated advice when evaluating tech options for your membership?

Key Quotes & Takeaways:

"Anyone who offers you advice on plug ins or software, but doesn't ask what your membership actually is, what you're offering, how you wanna run it, what features you need, They're just giving you generic advice with zero basis, and generic advice is dangerous for your member"

"If you're not technically inclined, don't pick the most complex plug in just because someone says it's the most powerful, it's the most flexible, you can do everything with it."

"good tools will not make a bad membership work, but the wrong tools can definitely get in your way."
