    Hi guys…
    Thinking that your modular course will be great…but what if we only need one or two of the modules… like skipping the concept, theme, promo… have already got the site up and am now looking for input more on function… process… follow through… will there be an option for just the parts we need….just a thought.

    The comparison single to multi shows no “recurring payments”.
    If I have members signed up and paying monthly or quarterly, rather than yearly, can I not have them billed automatically? (recurring?)
    If not how would I handle this without doing it manually?

    Thanks

    Dave

    Wow! Almost 2 hours of non-stop, high density information. I was riveted to every word! Great webinar Stu and Tracy!

    I can’t wait to get my site working …

    I signed up to attend the teleseminar but was unable to attend. When will the recording be available?

    Thanks,

  6. Karrie Ross says:

    In the TS Mod 7 you mentioned something about re-billing… does that automatically happen when an account goes into sequential upgrade?

  7. Robert says:

    A nice feature to have would be a way to “unlock” content after a certain period of time. And I am not talking about membership levels and moving people down various levels, that is not an ideal solution and too hard to set up. A better idea is to have a little box on the post edit screen near where the publish on date box is, but have an option that says “publish this content after X days, x months after member joins”. That way, we can tease out the content and encourage people to stay on longer as a member. If we say, for example “special bonus for members who stay for at least 3 months”, secret content gets unlocked because we know you are serious about your success and we want to reward our loyal members. I think this would be a very powerful tool. We could then show these bonus items ghosted out in the sidebar area as “EXTRA UNADVERTISED LOYALTY BONUS ITEMS: UNLOCKED AFTER 3 MONTHS MEMBERSHIP”. Powerful huh? It’s all about creating more goodies, value and lock-in to get people to stay longer instead of joining and downloading everything all at once.

  8. Robert says:

    Oh and something I just thought of…how about also having this option available for the categories and even pages (and posts). That way we can set full categories of content to appear after X days or X months from member joining. Category 1 could be module 1, Category 2 could be module 2, and so on. And another category could be “bonus items”, “3 month loyalty gifts”, etc. Powerful POWERFUL!

    Is there a recording or a replay of the call? I am sure that there must be others like myself who had to be in bed because it was during the night in our country.

  10. Chrisena Perry says:

    Is it possible to build a 2 Tier Membership Model combined with 21 module trainings for each tier. The tiers are member(discounted rate) and nonmember (retail rate). Could you use the one plug in or have two use two?

  11. Brian Duvall says:

    How do I get your membership training program. I bought the full package for Wishlist Member but I don’t know what pages to set-up, what they should say, what order they should be created in, etc. Your tutorial shows how to use the features of the software but I need to know what to do with it first.

    Thanks.

  12. I live in Australia Stu and couldn’t make the live questions. Where can I watch the replay or listen to the audio?

    Thank you
    Jonathan

  13. @Brian Duvall – the videos that show step by step what pages to set up and how are SOOOO helpful! They answered all of my questions!

    Once you login to your WL site, you should find a way to access them under WLPlugin.

    Hope that helps!

    Mingle was mentioned earlier (Karrie, 11/24). Any reports on compatibility?

    I’m rebuilding my sites on my computer before uploading, and it looks like WLM & Mingle would complement each other if they play together well.

    I’m reworking my sites on my computer before uploading. One site as a professional community site, and another site for course content and a student community.

    Hey Stu,

    Love the attitude… the fact that Seth is probably my favorite ‘pulse’ author, I just have to try for the prize.

    I would think that the supplier of the “Infinity MPG” T-shirt has to be Threadless.com

    Have a GREAT day…
    just because YOU CAN!

    John

    PS Be looking for my resume, would love to learn from you guys.

  16. Peter says:

    I have wishlist on my site and it seems to work great. Great product. But I’d like to be able for an individual to sign up for more than one level.

    I am developing several short lessons and am assigning levels to each lesson. But my students may what to purchase several lessons. Is there a way a subscriber can purchase several different levels of membership at one time?

    My current solution would be to let them know they can only sign up for one at a time, but then I have to cut the membership time very short.

    Hope for some answers.
