Once you’ve installed WishList Member, what is the first thing you should do?

This video will get you up and running in no time as it provides helpful tips and tricks for getting started.

Getting familiar with WL Member starts with the Dashboard.  This serves as your control panel which gives you a glance at your overall membership along with quick links to the other WL Member components.

When Non-Members try to access your membership site, you’ll want to send them to an error page.  The same goes for when a member tries to access content that their membership level doesn’t have access to.

This video explains how to setup those error pages along with a few helpful hints to increase your membership along the way!

The first page that your members see after they register is important.  You want to make sure you keep them excited and provide them instructions on how to get started.

During this video you’ll learn how you can customize the first page that your members will see after registering for your membership.

As an extra measure of security, you could have all of your new members automatically go into a “pending period” where you quickly identify who they are and then verify that they are paid members.

In addition, WL Member also includes a unique feature whereby you can provide your members a secure RSS key.  This means they can read the content they paid for in their favorite RSS reader but since it’s secure, you also maintain control over the RSS feed so that if they stop paying, their RSS feed stops working.

This video walks you through both of these features

When it comes to protecting your content, the “private tags” feature gives you the ability to be very creative.  With this unique feature you can protect a portion of a post or page such as a single paragraph, sentence or word!

Watch the video to see how easy it really is.

There are a few more options within the “Settings” panel and this video walks you through each of them.

09 – Email Settings

Within WL Member, you can control the email copy for standard emails that the system sends out such as the welcome email after a new member registers and the “lost password” email.

There are also a few other email options and all of them are explained in this video.

The more members you get, the more you rely on a good member management system.  This video walks you through the simplicity of managing your members within WL Member.

Having a membership site with multiple levels (ex. Silver, Gold and Platinum) can give you a lot more freedom to structure your membership site exactly how you want it.

In this video you’ll discover how easy it is to add another membership level.
