How to Create a Membership Site for Exclusive Content

Want to offer premium content — like courses, templates, or community access — to paying members only? With Summrly, you can create a secure, branded membership site in minutes. Set up gated content, recurring billing, and member-only areas — no developer needed.

Why a Content-First Website Solves This

When your site starts with a topic, your membership becomes a natural upgrade path. Readers of your free content can easily transition to paid access — with AI-powered onboarding, automated emails, and seamless checkout — all within your existing site.

Step-by-Step Guide
  1. Create Your First Topic
  2. Set Up Your Content Focus
  3. Add Keywords
  4. Brand Details
  5. Complete Setup

Go to “Monetize” > “Membership” and create a plan (monthly or annual). Upload exclusive content (videos, PDFs, webinars), set access rules, and connect Stripe or PayPal. Members log in with email and password — and get instant access to your gated library.

Enter your topic below to start building your site and turn your expertise into a recurring revenue stream — with a professional, easy-to-manage membership experience.
