  I want to make 5,000 membership accounts for my blog. is it possiable? The membership accounts would not be administrative they would be subscriber accounts.
  So they would only get Acesss to view the content on my blog. They would not be able to edit or change anything. Is it possiable or do I need to buy or switch to another service? What do you guys recomend? Thanks so much!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hey there!

  What exactly is it that you would be trying to accomplish with the membership accounts? Typically blog posts are public so any visitor to your site would be able to view your blog posts.

  I think the closest thing to what you’re asking for would be a Follower User. More about user roles can be found here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/

  I’d like to know more about what you’re doing before giving any further advice though.

  What I originally had in mind was to create a personal login for each person. I have a videó train course that I sell on shopify. However I need a platform like word press where I can upload my video training courses! Where i can allow each individual unique user to have a loggin to these videos.

  @melsociety

  I’m going to look at your questions individually. For making your videos private, it looks like you can use the Viewer user role to have your customers create log-ins and access your content. The help article I shared explains that. This one goes over how to invite people to your site: https://en.support.wordpress.com/adding-users/

  As for monthly subscriptions, there is no option to accept payments or install commerce plug-ins using a WordPress.com site. You would need a self-hosted WordPress.org application to use that feature. More information about the disabling of this feature was posted on the forums a few months ago:
