Description

Wishlist Member is a Wordpress plugin that makes it easy for you to create a fully functioning membership site. A membership site is one that allows your visitors to subscribe (for free or a paid subscription) to access your content.

Membership sites offer you a great way to make an online income. Either charge a one-off payment for access to your content, or charge a recurring monthly or annual fee. The choice is yours. Add in a forum and you have a community of people, all interested in your content.

If you would like to create a membership site, then this course will show you how. I've been using Wishlist Member since 2011, and in this course, I'll use all of that experience to teach you how to use this plugin to setup a membership site.

In the course I'll plan out a demonstration membership site, and then you get to watch over-my-shoulder as I build the membership site from scratch.

In this course you will learn:

  • What membership sites are, and why they are a good way to make an income online.
  • How to plan out your membership site.
  • How to install and configure Wishlist Member.
  • How to create content and then protect it so that only those members who should have access, actually do. You will learn a few different ways to protect your content.
  • How to show a teasers to non-members to encourage them to subscribe.
  • How to use shortcodes to personalize your member content.
  • How to use Mergecodes for additional control over content protection.
  • How to create multiple levels within your membership site, so you can effectively run multiple courses from a single Wishlist installation.
  • Customizing the experience for multiple membership levels, so each member feels special.
  • How to setup drip-fed (sequential) content so that you control how quickly members get access to various content.
  • How to integrate Paypal and/or Clickbank to take payments from your members.
  • How to integrate a forum into your member area using a free Wordpress plugin. A forum can help you build a community on your site. When people feel like part of a community, they are more likely to stick around.

Course Requirements

  1. A basic understanding of Wordpress (how to create posts and pages).
  2. Wishlist Member plugin.


Who this course is for:

  • This course is for anyone that wants to learn how to create a fully functioning membership site using Wordpress and some Wordpress plugins.
  • This course is not for those who want to learn Wordpress.

I'm so glad I took this course. It provides a great step-by-step overview. The instructor is highly professional. The material is well-organized and presented well. If you're even thinking of starting a membership site, this course is a must!

I have written and published a number of books that are available on Amazon, including best selling books on Wordpress ("Wordpress for Beginners 2020") and search engine optimization ("SEO 2020").  I also run a website called ezSEONews, where I teach my visitors and newsletter subscribers a number of skills required for running a successful website.

         As an ex-schoolteacher, I hope I can make complicated topics simple to understand.  I certainly enjoy trying!
