    What if you could fully operate your membership program in one place with searchable directories, email marketing, and content publishing?

    Introducing Brilliant Directories.

    TL;DR

    Brilliant Directories dashboard

    Find everything you need to launch, manage, and monetize your membership site from the main dashboard!

    Your members and website visitors are always hungry for more content.

    That’s why Brilliant Directories lets you publish, protect, and even allow members to contribute user-generated content to your site.

    Publish blog posts, discussions, events, coupons, photo albums, classifieds, and more, with the ability to choose which members can access certain posts.

    You’ll be able to save time by repurposing any post type to suit your website's needs, like changing blog posts to other types of content or cloning and updating events.

    Admin dashboard to manage posts

    Creating and managing posts on Brilliant Directories is as easy as point and click!

    With Brilliant Directories, paid membership plans are just the tip of the iceberg for revenue opportunities.

    To boost paid sign-ups, you can enable free trial periods, offer discounted promo codes, or even import business listings, allowing visitors to claim profiles with a paid membership plan.

    Protect your premium content by requiring visitors to register for paid plans in order to gain access to it. 

    You can also create additional paywalls and generate more revenue by selling leads, digital products, services, ad placements, and more.

    Admin transaction history dashboard

    Get an overview of your transaction history, including payments received, upcoming payments, past due, refunded, and stopped.

    Use the customizable directory themes to build a business, hobby, professional, or city directory.

    Site visitors will be able to find, get matched with, and contact your professional members for services.

    You can monetize your business directory site by setting prices for leads and selling them to the businesses registered in your directory.

    Instead of taking time away from your busy schedule to make changes or updates, members can manage their own profiles with Brilliant Directories.

    Frontend membership directory

    Website visitors can find, contact, and get matched with professionals in your directory.

    Keeping a membership community up and running takes more coordination than the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. (“We’re in the weeds—yeah, the Kermit balloon is literally stuck.”)

    Brilliant Directories makes setting up, managing, and monetizing your membership site a breeze so you can focus on the members that make it.

    Launch your first membership website.

    ⌛ THE HISTORY of BD

    Back in 2009, we set out to create our own membership website. However… The available options were either unreliable plugins or expensive custom development.

    As young entrepreneurs (with basically no budget) we weren't able to invest in costly development, so we decided to develop our own membership software.

    In a year’s time, we not only built a platform that allowed us to start our original idea, but also enabled us to launch infinite membership websites from a single command center.

    🏃 FAST FORWARD

    Today, Brilliant Directories is still led by the original passion we ran with back in 2009. We wake up every morning and find new ways to improve the platform for the BD community.

    Empowering you with awesome membership software is our passion and what we ❤️ to do.

    💌 SUMO-LINGS: WE NEED YOUR HELP

    During the last year, we’ve made comprehensive improvements to the platform and need your feedback and suggestions (the good, the bad and the ugly).

    Connecting with users in our community has always been the best way to develop new features that ultimately help EVERYONE 👪

    This is a great opportunity to launch your own membership or directory website idea.

    Our team looks forward to serving you and we appreciate your feedback.

    Thank you in advance 🙏

    We’ll be here to help you and to answer questions as fast as we can.

    Have a Brilliant Day!

    Jason ✌️
