Create your membership website in 10 miunutes or less

Posted on October 6, 2008 by Prakash

I know many people will find it difficult to believe that a membership website can be installed in 10 minutes or less. But believe me it is true with the help of PayPal Member Script.

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.

Do you need a membership website?

Posted on October 4, 2008 by Prakash

I often get a number of messages from entrepreneurs at our support desk asking if a membership website is right for them. Often they also describe what their business looks like and the way they want to charge their clients.

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.

Welcome to our blog !

Posted on October 2, 2008 by Prakash

Hello my name is Prakash and I am very happy to start a blog for PayPalMemberScript.com

This blog will enable us to communicate with our clients and ‘future’ clients. I have very passionately written this membership website script and it always pleases me to interact with my happy clients. 

I have found many friends among my clients but I think this blog will help me to get in touch with my clients as well as with the curious online information seekers. I intend to publish my thoughts, tips-n-tricks and new ideas about running a membership website. 

From my experience I know that everyone who intends to run a membership website is very passionate about his/her subject. They are the masters in the niche they work in and they are the respectable figure in their subject matter. I salute and appreciate it. And it is my endeavor to give them the best technology to run their membership website. So that while they are working on their business their site is run efficiently by my software. 

You can expect to find announcement of all the new features at this blog first. Indeed, everytime I add a new feature in my script, I will first publish all the details here at this blog and then do a press-release. This blog can also be a good discussion point for all the available features in the software as well as the features that you want to be available.

It is my first experience with writing something for an audience but it will be my honest endeavor to help my clients as much as I can through this blog and through our support desk email (support@paypalmemberscript.com).

Again, I thank you all wonderful people for reading this blog and trusting us for your membership website software.

Have a nice day !
