ATP Members Launches New Membership Site for Media Professionals
London, UK – June 12th, 2024 – ATP Members, a leading community for photographers, videographers, drone pilots, and creatives, has announced the launch of their new membership site, *ATP Members 2.0. This site offers a variety of resources, including courses, forums, a business directory, job opportunities, and competitions, for members to elevate their craft, expand their network, and achieve new heights in their creative journey.

Seeking Beta Testers
The team at ATP Members 2.0 is excited to announce that their website is now up and ready to go. However, before officially launching, they are looking to enroll active beta testers to use the site and provide feedback on any issues, errors, or speed. There is no limit to the number of beta testers that can join, but there is a time limit for joining as the site will close for a period while things “settle in.”
What Does the Website Offer?
Social Community (The Creative Café)
ATP Members 2.0 is committed to providing a thriving community of like-minded individuals who can discuss business, make friends, or simply chat about their work.
Courses
The site currently offers seven courses designed to improve skills and help creatives make a living from those skills. These courses include The Wedding Video Blueprint, Digital Photography Masterclass, Sell Drone Hyperlapses and Dolly Zooms, Building WordPress Websites, Create and Sell eBooks, Shoot and Sell Stock Video, and Filming Long Guinness World Records. The website also mentions two more courses in the pipeline (digital video for beginners and property photography and video), with future courses included in the membership.
Forums and Groups
Each course has a separate forum and group where students and creatives can discuss the course and share ideas. These groups also have their own “mini social areas” for chatting and showcasing work, while the forum allows for more detailed discussions and idea-sharing.
Business Directory
ATP Members 2.0 offers a free listing in their business directory for members to promote themselves or their company. Members are encouraged to add as much detail as possible to assist with SEO and make it easier for other members to find and potentially collaborate with them.
Jobs Board
The jobs board is available for members to request assistance on projects they need help with, whether it’s photography, video, drone, or web design work. Similarly, it is also a place for members to find work opportunities, from one-day gigs to full-time positions. While the website is new, it may take some time to populate the jobs board and business directory, but they are expected to add significant value to membership in the future.
Competitions and Prize Draws
One of the benefits of being an ATP Member is access to competitions and prize draws. In addition to monthly photo competitions, there will also be monthly prize draws. The number and value of prizes will depend on the number of members on the site. A portion of the monthly fees from all members will go towards the prizes, meaning the more members ATP has, the bigger and better the prizes will be. The team behind ATP Members 2.0 says their intention is to give back to the community and have some fun while doing so.
What’s in it for Members?
Once launched fully, a full membership will cost £25 per month. However, for beta testers who join during the pre-launch period, the fee will be just £10 per month. This fee will also be “grandfathered in,” meaning it will remain the same for the lifetime of the membership, no matter how many new courses are added or how much the volume of prizes increases.
Considering the value of the courses alone is over £1200, this could be a great deal for anyone considering membership. But that’s not all – once ATP Members is fully launched, all members will be invited to join the affiliate program (although this is not compulsory). The sign-up process is simple and includes a mini training course with marketing materials to promote ATP Members. Members will then receive their own unique affiliate link to use when promoting ATP Members 2.0.
How Does the Affiliate Program Work?
Each time a new member joins through an affiliate’s unique link, the affiliate will receive 40% of that member’s fee (£25 x 40% = £10) as commission. This commission will be received every month as long as the new member remains a member of ATP. By introducing just one new member, an affiliate’s membership fee is effectively covered each month.
For example, if an affiliate signs up 10 new members, they will not only have their own membership fee covered, but they will also receive an additional £90 per month in commissions. The affiliate program also has a two-tier structure, meaning that if the new member becomes an affiliate themselves
