It is important to identify what content and features will be available outside your community, free to all who land on the website vs. what content will be available only to members or members of a certain status. Finding this balance will help define your community's membership structure.

And yes, there is a "hack" for this, a trail that's already been blazed by communities that came before yours. Download the Community Building Playbook from Community Leaders Institute - which dedicates an entire section to membership community structure, including types of membership tiers and what is typically included in each.
