Quick Tips I Learned While Setting Up an Amember Membership on my Website

I'm just going to do a quick drive-by here for those who want to set up a PLR content membership on their website and use Amember to do it.

A few tips for you to remember about Amember:

The membership costs less than $150 and it's for a lifetime. So, no subscription renewal. Pretty freaking cool if you ask me.

Amember's tech people seem to be ESL, but that's okay. Considering the immense value packed in here, it's worth it.

Amember will install their software onto your server for you. All you have to do is provide login information. If you're confused about what logins to provide, just give them all. You can always change your passwords later.

It will take about a week or two to get a handful of PLR products set up inside of Amember's login area. This is assuming that you have something resembling a life!

For each product you set up in there for purchase, you must go through and create content for the following, because nothing in Amember "automatically populates":

Product. You have to type in the unique product name, description and check off all the boxes that Amember asks you to specify. For example, if Amember wants to know which types of subscriptions the reader must have purchased in order to gain access to this product, then you have to specify this.

Files. Because we're talking about PLR and info product purchases, each product will have a file associated with it that you upload from your computer to their database.

Subscription. Yes, each product has its own subscription, even if you only have one or two "recurring" content subscriptions on your site)

Email. Each product will have its own "welcome" email telling people thank you for purchasing. By the time you get to the writing of the email, you should have already set up the product and the associated file in the database. So you'll want to associate both of these (product, and file) with the email message you're now writing about said product.

Links. Your readers should be able to view a sales page that you create in HTML, which offers descriptive copy, a sales message, offer details, and a Buy Now button.

You will need to be sure that ALL of these items are set up completely, in order for the Amember system to function correctly. AND you need to be aware of the internal Amember links and what they are so you can add them to the main pages of your website so that people will be able to sign up as a member, sign up as an affilliate, and/or buy stuff from you.

Additional items which will need your attention inside the Amember membership management are Categories and Pages. I will talk about these in a later article, so stay tuned.

In the meantime, I have a great reference for you if you're having trouble setting up Amember (it can be really tricky).
