Membership Site Pages

Which page should you pick?

Each of these pages has different options and uses. So let's look at each one closer.

Pages - Allows you to design a web page within your membership site. This could be a simple content page such as a welcome page, it could include testimonials of people who have taken the course before or a letter from you. It could even include a course catalog so your customers can quickly get to the page they want to access. You can also use the pages feature to create a sales page to up-sell members to other products that exist within this membership site or outside it. 

Blog/Forum - Here is where you would give access to the blog or forum that you have been working on in the back end of your membership site.

Member Directory - Here is where you can let members see each other. Members are anyone who has access to the membership site for any reason.

External Link - This is a great way to link to outside sales page, a Facebook group, a scheduling calendar. Basically, anything you can find on the interweb that isn't created within your membership site. 

Terms and Conditions - This will link to the terms and conditions set up in your account settings.

Customer Service - When this is added a link will exist in the heading menu that will allow the members of your membership site to email you at the email address you set in your account settings for support. 

Once you have decided on the page you want to add below are step by step instructions for managing that page. 

Please note that you must have at least one published, not-hidden page on a membership site to serve as the home page for the site.  Otherwise, your members will not be able to access the site.

What if I want to limit who can view a page?

Pages in a site are published in 3 different ways.

  1. Published meaning viewable all the time.
  2. Scheduled meaning they become viewable at a specific point in time.
  3. Dripped meaning you manually give access to someone. 

Dripped works great if you want to have a page in a membership site that is only viewable by a select group of people. For example, maybe I host the same course each year, and each group of participants has their own group page on Facebook for daily interactions. I can add the Facebook group as an external link page and then set that page to be Dripped. I would then Drip it to that group of participants and no one else via a trigger or broadcast. 

Blog/Forum pages

Before you add Blog/Forum pages to your Membership Site you would need to enable them first.

The Forum/Blog pages have a similar structure: Title, description, then posts.

You can always have a look at the Forum and Blog pages (before you add them to your Site header) from the admin page:

Member Directory

To allow members to share their profile info and get tagged in posts and comments, enable the Member Directory on the Site>>Configure>>Community Features section, then add the Member Page to the site.

Members will need to be logged in to access the Members page, where they'll find who is a member of the site, and since when are they members.

On each member you'll find where are they located, any engagement badges they've been awarded, and their activity on the site.
