Membership Sites – Use a WordPress Plugin to Build Your Online Business

By Connie Ragen Green in Featured

Membership sites, powered by a WordPress plug-in, have now made it so simple that anyone can set one up. I currently have eight of these sites, and I use them in different ways to serve the needs of my students and to create income for my online business. You can do the same exact thing if you think about what you will offer your clients, how you will deliver the information to them, and how you will continue to increase your profits and revenue.

The first site I set up for my members had three different levels of membership. This was confusing for me to work with, so I recommend setting up just one level of membership when you are just getting started. This will allow you to add content and to develop your site fully before you begin learning the details of how it works with members at various levels of access.

Adding content is the easiest part. I write lots of articles, so I include links to the ones that will be helpful to the people who have come to me for information on that particular niche topic. I want to offer them as much information and as many resources as possible so they will think of me as the one who can best serve their needs. I also add audio recordings and short videos to explain exactly what they need to know.

Anytime I create a product, I now set up a membership site to deliver the information to the clients. Instead of having a download page that could end up being shared across the Internet, I have it all set up so that they are able to log in and receive the information as they need and want it. You can limit how many computers can access the site, so people will not share with anyone other than their business partner. This works extremely well when you have lots of information you want to deliver over time. It also allows you to add content over time, making your site even more valuable to the members.

I like to offer my program at a one time price, instead of having people pay me by the month. You receive more money up front this way, and a few months down the road you will have enough content to be able to offer it as a monthly subscription. This will build recurring income for your online business for years to come.

A Review of the PopUp Domination WordPress Plugin

By John H Hoff in Featured

The PopUp Domination WordPress Plugin is the newest, and first, plugin released by Michael Dunlop, a young online entrepreneur who blogs about making money online and generating your own wealth.

What the plugin is for

It’s for WordPress bloggers who have an email newsletter and wants to increase their subscription rate.

What it does

Once the plugin is installed and activated, it’ll pop up a subscription box whenever a person visits your site, however, you can configure how often it’s shown to the same person. Some people like to pop up the box every time someone visits your site, returning or not.

Personally I don’t like to do that, mainly because as a blogger, I have many returning visitors who like to comment on my blog and they don’t need to keep getting hit with my pop up. My preferred settings are to show the box to everyone at first and then show it to them again after 7 days.

I also prefer to wait to show the popup until after they’ve been on my site for at least 20 seconds. I do this because a really successful niche marketer told me once that’s what they’ve found works best for them. The reasoning behind it was that the people who stay longer than 5 seconds are probably interested in what you have to offer.

So why does the popup domination plugin work so well?

I’ve definitely seen an increase in subscriber rate to my newsletter since using this plugin. The plugin seems to work so well because the popup templates which you are supplied with are high quality and are visually pleasing to your visitor.

PopUp Domination Options

As of the writing of this article, the plugin has the following settings available:

* 4 different pop up templates to choose from
* Multiple options for the template and button colors
* Easy embedding of many of the popular mailing list services (MailChimp, AWeber, etc.)
* Customization of text shown on the popup
* Allows you to add quick bullet points
* Schedule how often it appears to visitors
* Advanced settings where pros can edit the template and CSS files

John Hoff has been using and blogging with WordPress since 2007. Check out how he’s customized the PopUp Domination WordPress Plugin on his blog and how he’s used it to increase the rate at which people subscribe to his newsletter.

301 Redirect Plugin for WordPress … for Non-Technical Bloggers

By Jeff Quipp in Featured

How frequently do you write blog posts knowing that they’ve got a very limited shelf life, or post a news post knowing it’ll be out of date in a months time?

All the time right? Then why not make the links garnered by those posts work for for you? A 301 redirect is the best way to do so!

Well, now there’s a quick and easy solution for the more non-technical amongst us. SEP has developed a 301 redirect plugin for WordPress.

What Does It Do?
This plugin permits you to:

1. easily 301 redirect any blog post or page (future or past) to any other post or page (internal or external site) by merely entering the url to redirect to.
2. choose a specific time and date to have the redirect occur

When to Use:

1. when the information in the post has a limited shelf life, and provides no value after the fact
2. when you dramatically improve an existing post, and want previous less extensive posts to support the ranking of the new post
3. when a post does not rank for the desired terms, redirecting and combining the link power of more than one post may secure the desired rankings.

How to Get it?
Simple …. merely download the file from here http://www.searchenginepeople.com/tools/wp-301redirect.zip

How to Install it?
Here’s a great guide to installing WordPress plugins … How To Install a WordPress Plugin

How To Use it?
Simple … enter the date you need the redirect to occur on, and the page/site you want the specified page redirected to. Voila … done!

The plugin is free of charge so go ahead and try it. You may want to bookmark this page though as we’ll make updates to the plugin via this page. Now … feel free to try it!
