Membership Software – manage your mail list.
You will understand my dilemma – as you read on.
I want to tell you about a really good product – Membership Software.
But I am having trouble getting started.
The reason is - I do not wish to undersell the product because it is FIRST RATE (we purchased it – January 2009) then again I want to be honest with you as I do not want to oversell it and exceed your expectations.
Upon reflection, I really cannot oversell this Membership software because it does all that is needed and more.
So I have decided it might be more helpful to you (the reader) if I just write about my/our experience with the software.
My background includes accounting software, so I have some preconceived ideas and experiences that quickly either satisfy me or turn me away fast.
COMPATIBILITY AND INSTALATION
My worse memories were always about system incompatibility with installations always a major concern – will this work with that – you know what I mean.
I was delighted and relieved when I learned that although all the software could be installed by myself – the programmers who wrote the software actually offered to install the software Free of Charge – because they wanted to make sure everything was working perfectly BEFORE handing it over to us to use.
Over time I have noticed that other sites that have purchased this Membership software have been amazed at the Developers speed and efficiency of installing the software once payment has been made for the software licence.
It might sound a bit obvious but it is important to say – the software can only be installed on a Web Site that you own, or are associated with – apparently some have wanted unusual variations. As I will reveal shortly we decided to use a Host recommended by the software programmers and have been very satisfied.
BEST HOSTING SOLUTION plus OUTGOING EMAILS
Starting any new venture always raises many issues of concern. For us we were concerned to keep costs to a minimum (especially ongoing monthly costs) yet we needed to ensure we could expand as we grew.
Growth did pose a real problem for us because our then Hosting Provider had us on a daily outgoing email limit of 150 emails – and the only solutions around the email issue seemed to be, to engage the services of well known yet expensive email management houses – that is until we found this Membership software.
The Membership software did provide a number of easy convenient inexpensive solutions that were most appealing to us – and I believe emails were one of the CLINCHERS that caused us to become a customer, the other CLINCHER has been the EXCELLENT SUPPORT we have received from the Husband and Wife team of programmers who wrote the software. Their dedication and attention is very special to us.
The Husband and Wife Software Writing Team did recommend a Company that provides excellent Hosting with excellent increased daily email limits.
We decided if they (as programmers) were confident about a particular Hosting Company (whose monthly cost was reasonable) then it could prove cheaper and more efficient in the long term to use their recommended Hosting as otherwise any Hosting Company we nominate might introduce problems (we learned this lesson from our accounting programming experiences). We do recommend that you use the Hosting Company they recommend as we have experienced no delays or problems in more than the 18 months we have been with them.
So how do we use the software – what happens.
When a User comes to our Website we prefer to have our Visitors explore our Home Page version written in HTML code, however, we could go direct to a WordPress BLOG (which is also provided and installed free of charge for you).
A user who goes to our Join Page is able to provide an email address (which becomes their main permanent sign-in because it is unique to them) and a password is allocated to them (which they can change later to a password of their choice).
They can then SUBMIT these details so they are placed in our database which then enables us to send Newsletters to them. Naturally the software will send them an opt-in email requesting their return email (Double Opt-in) or else if we/you chose Single Opt-in it just advises of a sign-in page for their future use together with their special password.
The important part here is – YOU as the licensed user of the software determine whether you wish to use Single or Double Opt-in and this feature applies whether YOU require membership payment or allow free access to the web site.
All this is easily changed or re-created by YOU when you follow the easy steps in the video provided as the User Manual.
MEMBERSHIP TYPES / LEVELS AND PRODUCTS
This software cleverly lets YOU (as the licensed user of the software) use just one area and format to invoice and receive payment by treating products (ie e-books etc) and membership type/levels also as products (yes, BOTH are treated as products – very clever).
The "style of this form changes" to suit your needs, for example you would only sell one copy of an e-book, however, for membership you have many options.
For membership you can have many types eg Gold, Silver, Bronze and for each you can set payment categories which determine how often they select to pay you eg weekly, monthly, quarterly, half yearly, annually and of course this is a RECURRING payment. You can even set a different entry amount with a different recurring amount to be paid thereafter. (Fantastic feature).
This wonderful Membership software allows you to AUTOMATICALLY CREATE AS MANY MEMBERSHIP CATEGORIES AND LEVELS AS YOU NEED.
You select categories eg GOLD – and of course you select the category names – have whatever you like – for example DIAMOND or red or blue).
I am sure you can see just how easy all these accounting features can work for you and for your clients (which is just as important).
Your member client can then elect to pay by any of the usual payment methods, such as regular PayPal, PayPal PaymentsPro, 1 Shopping Cart, WorldPay and ClickBank.
So just when you have got excited over all the above you suddenly find THERE IS MUCH MUCH MORE.
Amazingly you find the Husband and Wife Team of programmers have a lot of meaningful experiences that they have added to this software as standard items.
There are so many "special features of this Membership software" NOT FOUND in other Membership software packages. The reason is because the Developers have personal experiences and learned what you need to save your time and money – definitely no need to use spreadsheets or similar because so much is linked internally and automated.
I dare say you could never properly evaluate the benefits to YOU as a Website Owner yet they have included so much in their software 'all for no extra cost'.
Then they give a no questions asked “30 day money back guarantee”.
By now you might be thinking “so how much does this software cost?”
The answer is a single 1-site licence costs a once only fee of $US167
Unlimited-site license: $US297 - Payable ONCE only
So pick yourself up and keep reading – this is so wonderful and exciting!
Now this overview is unsolicited – so read on to understand why I really love this software and why I am pleased to refer it to you.
Pause for a moment to think about how you would handle the accounting for your Member who is making regular payments and for whatever good reason they have suddenly stopped paying you (eg lost their job, health bills etc)
Now most membership software just "terminates their access" and you lose them forever. Trouble is it takes a lot of effort to get a new member so why would you want to lose them – especially since your site products are good and you are confident they should return when their ability to pay resumes.
This membership software highlights the fact that the member has NOT PAID and automatically REDUCES their access.
I use the word REDUCES in a special way because YOU can elect to still give them access to those products and areas they have already previously paid for. So now the member likes your Website even more – and I bet they will tell others about how kind it is.
SO HERE IS THE BEST PART – this Membership software refers to it as “drip feeding product” if you were providing the Member with additional newer products or updates each month – that would cease when payment did not occur. Certainly this is fair to everyone and the Member would be happy with this.
NOW HERE IS WHERE IT GETS BETTER STILL because when that member is able to commence to repay their membership once again, (because your Website offers such good benefits that they do not want to part from you) – you have retained that happy paying member.
The Member is delighted because this clever software feature just picks up from where they were – now instead of receiving the FIRST article (once again) the member just gets the NEXT article they were expecting (it is just like there was NO BREAK in payment). Everyone is happy and it is fair to other paying members who had no break in their payments – and best of all – the member has not missed any instalments of the product they were receiving.
So your Website looks very efficient and best of all you did NOTHING except the very wise decision to have this Membership system installed.
ARE YOU READY FOR MORE?
Included for no extra cost is AFFILIATE Membership and Accounting.
Yes you read it correctly – included for no extra cost – great value this software.
Remember ...
this software Licence with for all these many features - and a 30 day money back guarantee
Costs a ONCE ONLY PAYMENT of $US167 for a single 1-site licence
and/or $US297 for Unlimited-site licence- all with that no questions asked ... guarantee.
We all realize the advantages of having affiliates and who better than an affiliate to bring more money to your Website.
YES, make your Member an AFFILIATE of your Website and let them earn a commission on sales they introduce to your Website.
So of course, this wonderful Membership software allows you to AUTOMATICALLY CREATE AFFILIATES (you just set a flag inside each Membership Category – yes this could apply to all categories or just 1 or 2 categories eg GOLD – and of course you select the category names – have whatever you like – for example DIAMOND or Red or Blue).
As you will appreciate this Membership software is all embracing (and it gets ever better again when we look at outgoing emails).
So obviously the ability to create your MASTER RECORD for Membership Categories and Levels as well as Products is ideal
– now visitors to your Website can join even if you are in the shower or asleep, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
You never miss an opportunity to secure EACH membership application and product sale.
Best of all your new member makes their own selections and automatically enter themselves into your database which then automatically debits their account with follow up payments to you weekly, monthly etc and even better yet – your member is sent a receipt by email AUTOMATICALLY. Yes you do look very professional.
OUTGOING EMAILS
I hope by now you can see why I was happy to buy a licence to use this software – no other software that I have seen comes near the benefits and of course it is NOT EXPENSIVE (at a cost of $US167 or $US297), however, despite the above we have not yet touched on the best part.
Yes there is MUCH MORE to this software; and …
here is the part that will have you "on your feet and cheering" – EMAILS.
Once you have a large number of members you will be faced with the problem of - how do you send them emails given that your Hosting Provider has a daily limit of usually 150 outgoing emails per day imposed on you.
Yes you saw the words "UNLIMITED EMAILS" when you were signing up for the email plan with your CURRENT HOST, but this is very misleading ...
because it is not referring to daily outgoing emails – elsewhere you will find you are limited to a DAILY LIMIT on outgoing emails.
So with your “current host” you may be permitted – 150 outgoing emails a day.
This is 150x30 = 4,500 outgoing emails per month.
As I have mentioned before - the writers of this Membership software have found an inexpensive Hosting Provider. Their hourly limit is 300 outgoing emails.
If you accept their Hosting Provider – this is 300x24 = 7,200 outgoing per day.
This is 7,200x30 = 216,000 outgoing emails per month.
Even then it still gets BETTER with this Membership software.
WOW - at $US167 or $US297 ONCE ONLY this software Licence is such GREAT VALUE.
Without too much difficulty, assuming you have 4 spare unused email accounts (with your current Host) each with a limit of 150 outgoing emails per day this is
(150x30X4)=4,500x4=18,000 outgoing emails per month with this Membership software.
Yes, that is 234,000 outgoing emails per month compared to 4,500 outgoing emails per month
This is an incredible difference - ESPECIALLY IN RESULTS for your marketing campaign.
NOW YOU MUST PROMISE NOT TO SPAM but you can easily see a growth potential thanks to this easy to use, inexpensive Membership software – yes it does let you use CSV.
I hope (by now)
... you have noted you do not need to use expensive Commercial Email Services
because you do it all – AUTOMATICALLY and INTERNALLY.
Cost of software for a LIFETIME LICENCE is a ONCE ONLY PAYMENT
Single Site Licence costs $US167 - and - an Unlimited-site License costs $US297
(plus hosting costs)
and there is a 30 day MONEY BACK GUARANTEE.
YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE - Correct as at October 2010.
Remember you get
- fast installation, great support, video User Manual
- as many Membership Categories and levels as you need (with your own preferred names)
- Once only payment or Once only payment with recurring payments (for BOTH of Membership and Products) plus shopping cart (if appropriate)
- Drip content like videos, e-books, audios, etc.
- Affiliate accounting
- WordPress (installed free of charge)
WordPress also allows Members to see Categories, Pages and Posts as you determine best for YOUR Web Site.
So I hope by now ...
you can see why I am so impressed with this Membership software
and that you will be keen to purchase it – remember there is a 30 day money back guarantee.
Of course there are a few other advantages we have not even talked about ...
... because we save revealing these details for OUR MEMBERS.
