Benefits of AISIP Membership
-
Private web forums and newsgroups
give members a place to talk about business and marketing
issues in a casual yet professional environment. Here, you can learn and share
information, meet others in the independent software industry, and network in ways
that can help you in your business.
-
Members can participate in the
AISIP Book Club.
Each month, a different marketing or business book will be read and discussed.
Members can explore a book in depth with others, and may improve
their websites and/or increase their sales from the information gained.
-
Members may take advantage of Member Discounts
on select software and services. Discounts range from 5% to 100%, on over 40 different
items. The discounts alone will pay for your AISIP membership, but that is not why you
should join. You should join for the information and networking available in the forums and
book club.
-
Members of AISIP will have access to an
AISIP logo that they may place on
their website(s), to identify them as members of this professional group.
-
Members can choose to be listed on our
AISIP Members pages,
along with up to two of their products/websites. This provides inclusion into a list of
independent software industry professionals, and an opportunity for links to your website(s).
AISIP's #1 benefit is the private, members-only newsgroups and web forums where members
may network with one another, offer industry-related information, and ask, receive
and give advice with other members.
The information shared in these newsgroups is valuable, on-topic, and worthwhile.
To see and participate in the newsgroups/web forums, you must be an AISIP member.
(After you join AISIP, your newsgroup/web forum Username and password will be emailed to you.)
AISIP members can access the private newsgroups/web forums either through a web-based,
browser interface (web forum), or regular usenet-style (NNTP) newsgroup software
such as Outlook Express. Both types of access will bring you to the same private newsgroups and see
the same messages.
Since this is a professional group, no anonymous postings are allowed in
our newsgroups/forums, nor are any inappropriate or otherwise uncomfortable ones. We maintain a
business-minded and positive online atmosphere. (Sometimes we have fun, too.)
In this environment, members may freely discuss business issues, pose marketing
questions and ponder replies, and share information on all software industry topics.
If you would like to become a member of the Association of Independent Software Industry Professionals,
the cost is (US)$24 per year. Just fill out our information page,
then fill in your payment information,
and submit it. When we receive your information, we will process your application within one
business day, and you will receive an email with your AISIP Username and password. Then join us
in the newsgroups and forums!
