Every marketer on the internet that has been in the game for more than a couple of months knows that one of the fastest ways to residual income is to have your own membership site or members area on your current site. If you can offer value to your subscribers they will stay with you paying you month after month. What you need is a fast and easy way to create a feature packed membership site.

I personally have struggled with this and have tried to use solutions such as Joomla and other scripts that were way too complicated for the average user. I know my way around some code but I had to have help with my old Joomla set-up and loading products for my members was time consuming as there were many steps to take for each product. WELL NOT ANYMORE!!!

Most of the membership scripts you find today can have you pulling your hair out and have your eyes crossing in no time. Trying to figure out how to install and use them can become a nightmare.

Time is money…

and when you purchase the latest and greatest script, you expect to have it up and running within a few hours. There simply is no time for debugging a script or figuring out why X, Y and Z files don’t seem to work.

We have looked at most of the “high dollar” membership scripts, and while the features vary they have one thing in common… they take forever to learn how to setup. Some scripts almost require you to outsource the site set up because of all the features which are confusing and hard to understand.

The Simple Member script has been designed so it is easy to set up and easy to use because we know it shouldn’t take weeks to set up a site. There is no reason to spend all those wasted hours learning how to install and setup a simple membership site when you could have your own site up and running within a matter a few minutes.

While there are loads of low cost alternatives out there, they lack the power of the more advanced scripts. Low cost scripts often only provide you with a basic admin area and required you to build the content of the site yourself. Why bother spending all that time learning how to create a basic php page and add your content to it? Simple Member powerful tools give you everything needed to run your site already installed and set up!

Here’s a few powerful features you will discover with Simple Member….

Admin Functions:

• Simple Member has on screen documentation. Every page of the admin area has explanations of what the options do and how to set them up.
• Customize site name, meta description, and meta keywords.
• Customize Disclaimer, Terms of Use, and Privacy Policy from the admin area.
• Emails sent to admin and members on signup or payment are fully editable from the admin area.
• Mass mail system. Send broadcast emails out to all members who have agreed to receive emails from you. Works with or without cron jobs. If cron jobs are not available to you, there is a function available to send the emails out with just one click.
• Single user mail system. Admin can choose to send an email to any one member. Simple interface for email built right into the manage member page.
• Manage member details page allows admin to pull up information on any member. Members can be sorted by first name, last name, user name, email, or member id.

Another problem with most low cost scripts is that they have very little power in the member functions. Most of them have very basic signup only and just log members into a blank member area where you have to design what members see. Again you end up having to learn how to code the pages yourself or outsource it. Simple Member has powerful member functions that control your member area and every detail of what members can see and do.

Member Functions:

• Automated payment and signup. Once a new member pays he is returned to the signup page.
• Member receives an email on free or paid signup as well as on OTO purchase.
• Automatically logs member into members area after successful signup. No more making your members wait for an email to get their products.
• Simple Member has a template driven member area. You can change the header and footer html files to customize the look and feel of your site.
• Download pages are database driven for added security and can only be accessed from within the members area.
• Reset password feature. If a member loses his password he can have his password reset to a random password and it will be mailed to his email on file. Feature requires both username and email address to be correct in order to protect against members resetting others passwords.
• All passwords are encrypted for added security.
• Members have a profile area where they can change their password, email address, and choose to opt in or opt out of your script run mailing list.
• Members get clean affiliate links. Using a redirect system affiliate URL’s are coded http://yoursite.com/go/affiliateusername. This allows affiliates to advertise links that are not ugly referral urls like most systems have.
• All html code is validated as proper code. Every page that outputs html has been tested using the W3C validator.

In addition I have added in many more features into the admin that can make your membership site truly awesome. Simple Member has lots of great options on how you set up your site and can be controlled entirely from the admin area…

• Options for free or paid membership, or both.
• Optional One Time Offers (OTOs) which may be shown on the first login into members area. If a member buys the OTO, the member is returned directly back to his member area and provided a new link allowing access to the purchase.
• The OTO is a true one time offer which is database driven and will only be shown once. Once viewed, the member is flagged and will not be shown the page again.
• Free membership, paid membership and OTOs all have their own customizable sales page and download page.
• Built in affiliate system helps to make your product viral. All members become affiliates as soon as they add their Paypal email into their profile.
• The admin area allows you to set the percentage of each sale that affiliates will receive.
• Optional JV capability. You can choose if you want to allow JV signups. If the JV option is turned off, then the JV signup form is automatically disabled by the form so there is no need to hide your signup page.
• Option to use live PayPal or PayPal sandbox for testing. All payments are logged in the database as well as a text file. Double logging all payments means added protection against lost payments or payment disputes.
• Option to limit membership. If you set a membership limit you can customize a page to be shown when membership limit is reached. The script keeps count of your members and will automatically switch pages once the membership limit is reached.
• Option to raise price after each sale. You set an amount you want the price to go up and it will automatically be updated after every sale.
• Admin receives an email on each free or paid signup as well as each OTO purchase.
• Protected download directory. Using a hidden redirect you can create links to your product which hide your actual download directory. You can name the directory anything you wish and changing the direct link involves simply updating one field in the admin settings.
• Set up unlimited marketing emails for your affiliates and JV Partners.
• Using a simple to follow interface, you can add and edit marketing emails in seconds.

At the time of this writing I installed and tested this script and it works great. Feature packed and easy to use this is the solution to your membership needs. I had it installed and running in about 10 minutes. If you need a members area this is for you!!! Get your copy of Simple Membership System Now.

Thanx and remember…Always strive to improve and success will follow
