How To Increase Members Retention Rate by 60% or more, overnight!

Prakash — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 20:48:02 +0000

You have spent your hard-earned money to advertise and get more members to your membership website; but your members keep canceling your membership in a month or two – leaving you with a feeling of exhaustion and disappointment.

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”.

Membership Website Explained – No.1 reason you would like to create a membership website

Prakash — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 23:28:17 +0000

The No.1 reason you want to create your membership website is – it gives you a recurring income.

You want your clients to pay you over and over again rather than only once.

The reason is simple enough, fair enough.

Membership websites can have different pricing models but from my experience I can tell you that more than 95% of membership websites offer its clients a recurring subscription rather than a one-time payment.

Compare membership websites with one-time sell products: In a typical one-time sell products, each time a sale is closed, your business needs to find another client in order to keep it going. But in a membership website model, once you find a client, he brings in revenue to your business multiple times. It is called a recurring income and that makes it a better business model than the one-time sell products.

Ask yourself – who kind of client you prefer for your business – a client who gives you money only one time or a client who gives you money many times. If you are like most of the entrepreneurs (or for that matter if you are like me then perhaps your answer is the second one.

Hmmm…. so you know what you want: clients who pay you multiple times for a single sell => so go ahead and design a business model around a membership website.

What? what did you say? Do you find it difficult to convert your existing business into a recurring business model? Or do you find it difficult to come up with product ideas for a membership website? Or do you think that it will be costly to setup a membership website? Or do you think that you do not have the right software to setup a membership website!

Come’on you need not to worry.

I have designed this tutorial to overcome all these challenges for you. Trust me, it is going to be very easy for you to setup your own flourishing, profitable and highly successful membership website.

We are going to cover a very interesting aspect of membership websites in the next article in this series.

Have a wonderful day !

"The site database appears to be down." !?

Prakash — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 12:06:04 +0000

“The site database appears to be down.”

Did you get this error message in our membership website software? oops ! But there is nothing to worry.

It is a very easy-to-fix problem.

Why does this error message appear?

Whenver the membership website script fails to connect to the mentioned database it shows the error message – “The site database appears to be down.”

Please note that the PHP script tries to connect to your database system using the information you filled in “data.php” file. Now, the script assumes that all the database connection information you entered in the configuration file – “data.php” is correct and therefore when it is unable to connect to the database using those “correct” information, it assumes that the database is down or not up-and-running, and hence the error message – “The site database appears to be down.”

How to fix this problem?

Pretty simple! Review and check the database connection information in “data.php” file. Precisely, look for the following variables in “data.php” file:

$m_host = ”;        // Enter your Database Host name

$m_database = ”;        // Enter database name

$m_db_username = ”;    // Enter database username

$m_db_password = ”;    // Enter database password

You will find the database server (host name) inside your website hosting account. In case of any confusion, you may contact your hosting provider. But there is an easy way too to find it out! You may open the database in PHPMyAdmin and the host name or server name for this database is normally mentioned at the top left of the webpage.

But again, if face any problem you may either contact your web hosting provider or you can contact our technical support team and they will be able to help you out.

Apart from the database server name (host name), you should review and confirm the database name and the username and password to connect to this database. You may either create them from scratch or use an existing one.

A summary of the check list:

Review and confirm the following variables and their value in “data.php”

$m_host : you may confirm the database server name from PHPMyAdmin
$m_database : make sure it is a MySql database and not an MS Sql database. You can either create a new database or use an existing one
$m_db_username and $m_db_password : make sure that the username-password pair is associated with the database. And you can either create a new database or use an existing one

The above check-list will certainly fix the problem and you won’t see this error message again.

Still the problem persists?

Please email us details of your “data.php” file. Also, the technical support team may require a temporary access to your web hosting account to find out and confirm your database server name. If required, they may also create a new database and username-password pair. Alternatively, you may also take help of your web hosting provider to find out these details.

You can email our technical support team directly at support [at] paypalmemberscript.com or fill up the technical support form here and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Wish you all the success for your membership website.

Have a great day !

A common error message in the membership website software

Prakash — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 11:19:48 +0000

Lets continue from the previous post. In the previous post, I mentioned that sometimes people see an error message once they have installed our membership website script. I mentioned two error messages.

But the most common of them is:

“The link you have used to enter the PayPal system is invalid. Please review the link and try again.”

So what does this error message say or what does it even show up and how to get away from this error message?

Its pretty simple, let me explain.

The first thing I want to mention is that this error message in no way reflects that there is any problem with the membership script.

Why does this error message appear?

This error message is shown at the PayPal’s payment page and PayPal shows up this error message if the information passed to its system is incorrect, incomple or in a wrong format.

Once a member fills up the registration form, the script passes some information to PayPal’s payment gateway and redirects the visitor to the PayPal’s secure payment page.

There may be some information passed to the payment gateway which is not in sync with its defined parameters. In such cases, PayPal shows this error message at the payment page.

How to fix this problem?

In order to fix this problem, please review the details entered in “data.php” file. You can open it in Notepad or in any HTML editing tool.

In “data.php” file, please check the following:

value of the variable – $m_seller_email. Does the email address corresponds to a PayPal’s “Personal”, “Premier” or “Business” account? It needs to be either a “Premier” or “Business” account. You can check the account type by logging into your PayPal account.
check values for variables related to trial periods. There are three variables corresponding to each trial period. 2nd trial period can be set only if 1st trial period has already been set. Also, if you do not use any trial period then blank out all the three variables corresponding to this trial period.
Value for “$m_no_of_payments” can be set only if value for “$m_recurring_fee” is set to ’1′. In other words, you cannot set number of recurring payments if you have not asked PayPal to charge members on a recurring basis.
Also, if value for “$m_recurring_fee” is set to ’1′, then value for “$m_no_of_payments” should be set as 2 or more (for a fixed number of payments) or it should be left blank (if you want to keep charging your members till they do not cancel the subscription at their end). But if “$m_recurring_fee” is set to ’0′, then value for “$m_no_of_payments” should be left blank.

List of variables to look at in “data.php” file:

$m_trail1_fee = ”;

$m_trial1_period_length = ”;

$m_trial1_period_unit = ”;
$m_trail2_fee = ”;

$m_trial2_period_length = ”;

$m_trial2_period_unit = ”;
$m_regular_fee = ”;

$m_regular_period_length = ”;

$m_regular_period_unit = ”;
$m_recurring_fee = ”;

$m_reattempt_on_failure = ”;

$m_no_of_payments = ”;
$m_seller_email = ”;

Still the problem persists?

Please email us details of your “data.php” file. Before sending the details, please blank out the confidential details like database connection details (variables – $m_host, $m_database, $m_db_username and $m_db_password).

You can email our technical support team directly at support [at] paypalmemberscript.com or fill up the technical support form here and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

See you tomorrow

Have a nice day !

Prakash — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 08:43:50 +0000

Every software product is backed by some kind of technical support. So what kind of technical support do we offer?

I feel pleased to say that we offer life-time free technical support for our membership website software. Yes it is free and it is for the complete life-time of the software. In other words, as long as you use our membership website software, we will provide our technical support. Additionaly, all the upgrades (next versions of the software) are free-of-cost too.

Therefore, if you ever face any difficulty – in day-to-day operations or during installation, just let us know and we will be able to fix it. You can fill up the technical support form available here or you can send us an email at support [at] paypalmemberscript.com

Installation of the membership website software is fairly easy and fast. And hardly 10% of our clients ever contact us after the purchase. While we do not get an opportunity to work with most of our clients but it do tells us that most of them never need help with our membership website software.

Most of the times, clients contact us if they have any of the following three difficulties:

they get an error message – “The link you have used to enter the PayPal system is invalid. Please review the link and try again.“
they get an error message – “The site database appears to be down.“
they need help with the customization

I do not remember if a client has ever contacted us with a problem other than the above three. And yes, if they contact us otherwise than it is mostly about the thank-you email or they enquire about our other services. (Here I am talking about post-sales queries. In pre-sales queries either they have questions about features of our membership website script or they want to see a demo first before they can purchase the software.)

Over the next three days, I will address each of the above three issues separately on this blog. But you are always welcome to contact us with any query about our membership website software.

What does a membership website software do?

Prakash — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 05:32:11 +0000

Membership website software helps you in creating a member’s area. In other words, it helps you in creating webpages which can be accessed only by the subscribed members of your website. These pages are also called “protected” pages, because no one can access its content without logging with a valid username and password.

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.

Now, if you also want to create such a membership website, we can help you in setting up the above structure in 10 minutes or less. Our membership website software is an easy-to-install but a very powerful-n-feature-rich software.

Further, the technical support is just one email away contact us at support (at) paypalmemberscript.com Or fill the contact us form available here. You can also see the installation guide online here.

Hope to see your membership website online soon.

Have a great day !
