WP Wishlist Upgrade

Below is an email I got from the Wishlist Member Team. (As of January 20th, 2009)

I highly recommend their plugin for membership sites.  It is much more robust than those free membership site software options that are out there.  I have also used their support (excellent) and they are continuing to improve the product.  Purchase here

————————-

Over the last two months the WishList Member
team has been working extremely hard on
adding some MAJOR features.

These new features will not only make running
your membership site easier but they will
also save you a lot of time.

We’ll go into more detail with some upcoming
videos but here’s a sneak peak of what’s
coming on Thursday (Jan.22)…

———————————————
1)  Full PayPal and Clickbank Integration
———————————————

With the Full Integration, you can now have
two-way communication between WL Member and
these payment processors.

So if one of your members were to cancel
their subscription or their payment doesn’t
go through, they will be automatically
blocked from accessing your site

———————————————
2)  Email Broadcasting
———————————————

If you’ve ever wanted to email your members
right from within WordPress, now you can!

The Email Broadcasting feature now gives you
the ability to send an email boradcast
message straight to your members.

The best part is, your messages don’t have to
be generic because you can specify which
membership levels you want to send them to.

———————————————
3)  Autoresponder Intrgation
———————————————

We know many of our customers use various 3rd
party autoresponders (we do too).

So what we wanted to provide was an easy way
to send the registration info directly to
your autoresponder once someone registers for
your site.

That way you can design a follow up sequence
to keep them excited about your site.

Now that’s possible as major services like
Aweber and AutoResponse Plus have just been
added.  Plus we are working to add others as
we speak!

———————————————
4)  Email and IP Blocking
———————————————

If you have troublesome customers well now
you can keep them away from your site!

We’ve beefed up the security of WL Member by
adding email and ip blocking which means you
can keep those pests away for good

———————————————
5)  IP Login Security
———————————————

Along the same lines, we’ve also increased
the member security by giving you the option
to limit the number of logins per ip address.

That means people won’t be able to share
their login and password info to your site
with all their friends.

And if they do reach the limit, they will be
automatically blocked and you’ll be notified.
How you handle them is up to you

—–

That’s just a quick look at some of the
upcoming features but there are also a lot of
other modifications that we’ll share later
this week.

The good news is, you’ll get the upgrade to
WL Member v2.0 absolutely free (If you already have a purchased copy)

——————————-

Again, we use this product and highly recommend it.  The new upgrade makes it even better.

Membership Professional Website

Just about anyone can put up a membership website.  What is the difference between a membership professional website and a membership website that people do not take seriously?

A professional membership website does not mean you had to spend a lot on it.  It does mean that you need to have some technical know-how or hire someone to help you.  If you want a membership professional website, you are going to need some core features.

#1 Integrated Account Building – When someone signs up for your membership site – it will not seem professional unless you give them instant access.  If you send them a message that it will take a day to set up thier account, you are in not going to look professional.  Use WordPress Wishlist with 1ShoppingCart to achieve this.

#2 Choose a Great Theme – You need to carefully consider your membership site theme for your membership professional website.  If you choose the Middle Earth theme, don’t expect most lawyers to want to join your professional membership site.

#3 Updates – Your membership professional website will not seem very good if it shows no activity.  Make sure it has updates and new information regularly.

#4 Professional Offer – If you want your membership professional website to seem as professional as possible, be sure to add a guarantee, lists of associations, and anything else to give it a stronger appeal.

#5 Professional Testimonials - Solicit testimonials from professional have used your membership site and benefited from it.  Publish them on the membership professional website.

Lastly, if you expect professionals to join your membership site, you need to have the highest value information that will help your members professionally.
