Can I charge people to join my site?

Here is a way that you could have people pay before gaining access to your website.

1. Create a one-page site with whatever content you would like displayed, along with a PayPal button, and information on how you will send access to the site once payment is received.
2. Create your full site, the one that people are paying to get into and password protect it.
3. Once you receive payment you can send out an email with the URL of the website and the username and password to enter the site.
