When you join a membership site for the most part, you're there to learn, But one of the great resources that a lot of people don't take advantage of is also learning from the other members within that site.
Before you get in there and start making comments and asking and answering questions, you want to decide what exactly it is you want to share. Take a look at the content that you have in your business. Do you want to share all of that, and my advice is always give away your best stuff, and do you want to share your experiences?
How many times have you yourself learned from the experience of others? I know I have learned many lessons that way in my lifetime. Decide what kinds of content and kinds of experience that you want to share with other members of that site.
Depending on how big the membership site is, there may be individual groups within the site. An example is I belong to a group to learn how to better utilize Infusionsoft, a customer relations management program. Within the group, there are some of us that are intermediate, and we have some specific need that we want to address and learn to grow our business. There are others who are just learning and others who are advanced, and they are interested in different groups, different topics. Get into your membership site, join some groups, and make sure that you are active.
Decide what is your purpose, what are you there for, what do you yourself want to get out of the membership site? Is this something that you just are interested in learning about really quick, is this a static membership site where there isn't a lot of interaction, or is it one of great big membership sites where there are people talking to each other all the time. Decide what is your purpose, because you're not going to spend as much time engaging, growing and learning from others if it is not a site that you plan to stay with for quite a while. My Infusionsoft membership site, I plan on staying with that group for a long time. I help lots of other members in my area of expertise, pay it forward.
Participate in the activities. If they're asking questions, answer them. Give your honest opinion. If there is a contest, throw your hat in the ring. If there is a promotion of some sort, assist the people who are operating your membership site by sharing to your friends and family or letting other people know in your social media that "hey, I belong to this site for learning how to use social media marketing or use Facebook for business, and it's great, come and join me."
