Does the above situation sound familiar? Have you been in a similar situation? Don’t worry I understand and the good news is that now you can solve this problem. Indeed, you can increase your “member retention rate” by at least 60% overnight !

The three simple techniques can keep your members subscribed for a longer time, increase their loyalty, your brand recognition and ultimately double or quadrapule your profits.

#1.) Announce upcoming content and bonuses
If you have a membership website, then surely you must have planned your content. And if you are using a blog then perhaps you have already scheduled your posts inside the member’s area.

So, why not announce this “upcoming” content or bonuses to your current members. It will keep them intererested. And if you give a slight hint or a demo or a review of what is coming, your members will feel the excitement. Remember, “anticipation” is a very powerful thing in marketing. Use it wisely and see your profits shooting high.

#2.) Increase “quality” of your content

Now, you must have heard this advice a zillion times that – provide relevant and quality content and members will stick to you membership website. And somewhere in your unconscious mind a voice is shouting – “it is not easy”.

Indeed, “It Is Easy!”. Here is a simple exercise. Ask your members, ask their feedback, run a survey for them, and ask them to
a.) what kind of content they want and
b.) if they think the current content can be valued.

It will do two things – i.) it will instantly tell you what kind of content will keep your members glued to your website and ii.) members will feel valued and cared for and hence they will feel a kind of attachment with your membership website. A territory where most of your competitors haven’t reached yet ! And thus separating you from your competion.

#3. Do not poke them unnecessarily to cancel

Having a fair business practice is very important, it is ethical and you should always conform to this rule.

But that does not mean that at the end of every billing cycle, you send them a reminder to cancel their membership.

Remember, when someone joined to your membership website, the membership plan was clearly noted at the signup page. They got its details from the payment gateway too. Therefore, they were already aware and agreed to the payment plan. Now, if you just send a reminder at the end of every month and give them an option to cancel the membership, it will trigger an unconscious action in most member’s brain and they will hit the cancel button. It is an interesting psychology but its true.

Of course, if a member wants to cancel the membership, he will contact at your support desk and then you have a chance to try to save that sale by listening and if possible fixing the problem or concern that the member has.

So, now, just re-read the above-three points, do as above-mentioned and increase your “members retention rate”. Its simple and takes less effort, you just need to take your first step, then next and then next till you see bulging profits.

Indeed, most of your membership work can be automated if you are using Paypal Member Script – membership software. It can increase your retention rate and you can have support of their “Membership Website Xperts”.

Now, some of the other common features of a membership website is that you can charge your members a fee for accesing these protected or member’s-only pages.

A typical work-flow of a membership website is as following:

• visitor comes to your site
• fills up a registration form
• he is redirected to a secure payment page
• payment processor sends a notification to your site informing if payment was successful or not
• if payment was successfully authorized and credited into your account, member’s account is activated, and an email with login details are sent to the member
• Apart from the registration process, there is an “Administrator Panel” which help the site admin to control and monitor the membership website.

Also, the membership website contains a module for the members where they can see their personal details, change their password and/or contact the site admin.

In fact, have you heard about “the Famous 5-Minute Installation” for WordPress. Yes, it is true too. You can install WordPress – the legendary blogging software in less than 5 minutes at your website. You can see the details here. The same way PayPal Member Script can also be installed in 5 minutes! But I deliberately mentioned a 10-minute installation to factor-in some beginner webmasters.

So, you want to know how to install PayPal Member Script (or say your membership website) in 10 minutes or less. Here are the steps that you need to do:

1. Create a MySql database (if you want to use an already existing database than just skip this step)
2. Enter details of your membership website in “data.php” file (very much like wp-config.php in WordPress installation).

that’s it !

Now, creating a database hardly takes 2 minutes from any of the hosting control panel available today (for example, CPanel, Plesk, Helm etc).

The next steps comes about filling the details of your membership website in “data.php” file. So that you can see exactly what details you need to enter into “data.php” file, I have uploaded it for you here (click here). These are some of the basic details about your membership website like:

• name of your membership website that will appear on the payment pages,
• membership fee and the period,
• trial period if any (you can set upto 2 trial periods),
• whether you want to charge your members for a pre-set number of installments like 12 times for an annual subscription or you want the subscription to go on till the member does not cancels it himself,
• do you want PayPal to reattempt to charge if one scheduled payments fails due to any reason like insufficient fund in client’s account,
• your support desk email address, etc

While they seems to be a lot of work, but if you look closely at the above list, you will find out that it hardly takes around 2 minutes to fill those information. Reason – you already know those details !

So, gone are the days when it used to take a lot of hard-work and time to create a membership website. Now, you have the power of our simple-yet-powerful membership website software, which allows you to create your own membership website in 10 minutes or less.

Doubt us !? Contact us anytime with your query/concern; we promise to get back to you within 10 hours with a reply.

Also, you have our full technical support, so if at anytime you face any difficulty with the installation, contact our technical support team and they will help resolve it asap. Indeed, they can also do a custom installation for you, should you want them to do it

So, you have our best wishes and our best technical support if you want to create your own membership website software ! Go ahead and create your membership website today.

Have a great day !

It is obviously the most important question if you are about to start a website.

But it is quite easy to determine if a membership website is right for you or not! You need a membership website if any of the following three cases matches with what you want to do:

1) If you need to have some protected area at your website. It can be acheieved by limiting access to webpages only to your subscribed/paid clients. Your clients will be required to enter a username and a password to access those webpages. You must have seen this structure at a number of websites.

2) If want to charge your subscribers/paid clients more than once. For example, you may want to charge your subscribers $0 for first week (trial period) and then $50 each month. Or perhaps you would want to set two trial periods like ($5 for first week, $10 for next week) and then a regular amount of $50 each month. Further, you may want to set the number of periods they will be charged, e.g. a subscription period  of 12 months or you may want to charge them as long as they do not cancel the subscription at their will.

3) You may also need a membership website if you want to charge your clients in more than one installment. Suppose you are selling a higher-priced product (for example, worth $2000) and you want to allow your clients to pay you in installments (of $500 for next 4 months).

So, you know you need a membership website, if any of the above three cases matches with what you want to do. Perhaps, there are even more such cases which I could not think of at this moment, help me in figuring out those.
