Best way to set up a free site

I want to set up a free membership site to build my list, basically just put a couple of videos behind an opt in page. Is this possible with S2member? It seems really easy if I had paid levels and such, but making a page that is just an opt-in that creates the membership seems kind of hard. Once I figure out how I would love to make a screen cast on how to do it because I can't find any s2member videos anywhere.

Hi there. Thanks for your inquiry.
~ Would love to see a video!
We have several being released soon as well.

  1. Install s2Member.
  2. Create two Pages, one for a Login Welcome, and another for Membership Options.
  3. On your Membership Options Page, create a link that points to:
    Code: Select all
    http://example.com/wp-login.php?action=register
    ( or on another Page hidden behind an opt-in form, if you prefer )
  4. Configure: s2Member -> General Options ( mainly for Level #0 )
    ( Level #0 permissions control access for Free Subscribers )
