Membership Champ – I have used Wishlist and I have used eMember, like the banner states this is the easiest Membership tool hands down.
It only takes to 2 minutes to have a membership site up, fully functional and totally automated.
The only problem is that it works with just aweber and paypal. But if you use both of those and want to set up a membership site, then this plugin is just the answer! It has been the answer for us.
I love to use this tool to add Paypal buttons to my sites….what a breeze. I don’t even have to go to Paypal. Just enter my Paypal info and click. Voila` there is my button.

AWeber: Run email marketing programs with powerful, easy-to-use email marketing tools. Video tutorials, webinars and great customer service make this my number one choice for email marketing.
MailChimp helps you design email newsletters, share them on social networks, integrate with services you already use, and track your results. It’s like your own personal publishing platform.
This email marketing system is Free and works well for most people. They have excellent video tutorials. Their contact system stinks. You can not talk to anyone by phone. For a free system that works great, there contact system can be tolerated.
Hosting
Hostgator is another one of those companies that I recommend and no other company compares. They have the best prices and service. Every time I call with a question, they are so helpful and never make me feel like I have dumb questions.
I keep all of my account with Hostgator and also use their server for everyone of my clients.
