Buying a post

If you are running a website on WordPress and you value your content, you’ve probably considered charging people to access it. Wether your content is news, training courses, downloadable software, sports tips, scientific research papers, knitting patterns or just blog posts, you can easily achieve it by installing the Your Members Membership Plugin to create a Paywall between your readers and your content.

The concept is easy, any content held within a page or post can be configured to only be accessed certain groups of users and you can choose how people gain access to those groups, be it simply registering with your site,  paying a one-off fee or agreeing to a recurring susbscription. Of course, you can configure what none members see too, allowing you to write “teaser text” in your page that can be read by both potential customers and search engines or keeping some content entirely free.

The payment model you choose is up to you, wether you are paid a one-off fee to allow access to all your premium content, or a renewable subscription. You control wether they get access to all your content instantly or just new content, you can even “drip feed” them content over a period of time (great for training courses). Your Members also supports “Pay Per Post”, allowing you to sell access to single pages or posts, great for changing people to “read more”.

Your Members allows your customers to pay in a wide variety of ways including Credit Cards (via gateways such as Authorize.net and RBS WorldPay) and Paypay. These gateway partners handle all the money side of things for you, so you don’t need to worry about how to keep credit card details safe, that’s somebody else’s worry.

Susbscribe

All you need to do is install the Plugin, configure a Payment Gateway, configure your user groups, configure which pages/posts (or parts of pages/posts) which groups can access, then sit back and rather than giving all your content away for free, you can watch the money roll in for each new member you get.

As you would expect for a professional plugin that’s been around for several years now, that has great reputation for quality and is backed by an exceptional level of support, Your Members isn’t free, but it’s cheap enough that most people very quickly make their initial investment back and are soon making a significant profit, all for doing what they used to do for free.
