Let’s Grow: Introducing the Post Status Membership Club

I’m overjoyed to share this with you. The Membership Club is open, and on the site’s two-year anniverary to boot.

I can’t wait to share this journey with you.

The link above is a complete features page where you can see what you’ll get, as well as choose between a $99 Club Membership or $365 Patron Membership. Both memberships are annual. You pay once, and you get great stuff for a year.

This wouldn’t be possible without the terrific partners that are supporting me. Each of these twelve companies has invested hard-earned money into Post Status, and I’m so thankful.

They’ve all committed for a full year. Here they are, in alphabetical order:

• Design Palette Pro
• Gravity Forms
• iThemes
• OptinMonster
• Pippin’s Plugins
• The Theme Foundry
• WP101
• WooThemes
• WP Migrate DB Pro
• WP Site Care
• WP Valet
• Yoast

Please check out the Partners page. Some of them also have their profiles already on the Organizations directory as well.

For those of you that register, you’ll be able to create a Profile of your own. Though it might be a couple weeks before the submissions process is totally fleshed out.

Profiles and organizations will also be linked from future blog posts, making finding great content and information about those within the WordPress ecosystem easier than ever.

The Post Status Notes newsletter will begin Monday after PressNomics, where I’m headed today. I’ll be publishing there between now and then, but the email starts Monday. Those of you who buy a membership and login can of course see it immediately. The notes I published before today are still visible with direct links as well.

The resources section is coming soon. I couldn’t squeeze everything I wanted to do into the initial launch, but I am launching on time.

There’s a job board coming as well.

Finally, most of the partners have deals that they’re going to share with members. We’ll get those gathered up and in a central spot on the member side of the site real soon.

For companies that aren’t partners but want to be involved, consider the job board and the Patron memberships your opportunity to show support for the site.

Thank you, everyone, for your support and for making this site possible. This is definitely an alpha version of what I want Post Status to be, but I’m so proud of what I’ve been able to make live so far, and I’m thrilled that this gets to be what I do every day.

For those of you on the fence about whether this is a good value: I know what you mean. It’s a newsletter, some resources, and some deals. It’s $99. Not cheap (but not too expensive either).

I promise you this: I will work harder than ever to build out the available resources and offer you content and insight you can’t find anywhere else. That’s my pledge.

I’ve been writing about WordPress for coming on five years, and I am in it for the long haul. I hope you all will join me, so that we can grow together.
