Profit from your Proprietary Community Content

If you are an organization that produces valuable proprietary content through your web community, you could profit from that content by charging membership fees to access it. Many niche social networks are beginning to charge membership fees for access to the data created in their communities. Fees can be small or large and can be used to improve your community’s value proposition. A paid membership solution can be easily implemented by coupling Telligent Community Server 2008.5 with Couto Solutions’ Private Community Building Block. By taking advantage of this unique offering you can:
