How to create a High-Converting Checkout Page!

by Leave a Comment

Want to know how to create a high-converting checkout page to sell your books or courses? 

Recently, I saw an ad in my Facebook feed. It was an ad for a book from Dan Henry.


It looked interesting.  So I clicked on it and landed on the checkout page. 


But this post... is not about his book.


It's about the design of his checkout page and the 2-step order form he is using to sell his book!

2stepbookcf

Step 1:

Users need to enter their contact and shipping info.
Step 2:

Users can enter payment details and checkout.


You might have seen a template like this many times before where the strategy is to make the book free, and just charge for shipping. 


"We pay for the book. You just pay for shipping".


Dan is using ClickFunnels for his order form. But you can very easily create a high-converting 2-step order form using our membership plugin - DigitalAccessPass (DAP) & shopping cart plugin - SmartPayCart (SPC).

Create a 2-Step checkout page using SPC!

So I decided to create a 2-step checkout page using SPC and my page builder (Thrive Architect). See image. This is step-1 of a 2-step checkout form created using SPC.


Everything you see on the checkout page - from the fields to the template-style, is fully customizable in the SPC backend! If you don't want to collect shipping fields, you can remove it from the checkout form. 


You can use this 2-step order form not just to sell your books, but for your other products and services as well.

STEP-2 of 2-Step Checkout

I'm using a 2-column layout. In the left column, I've the video and a list of key benefits. And I've the SPC shortcode in the right column. 


You can also add one of more order bump offers to your checkout. It'll show up in the step-2 of the 2-step checkout. See image.

Watch the video below to see step-by-step how to set this up using SPC! 


You can use any good page builder plugin to create a layout like this. Use a 2-column layout, with content in the left column and SPC shortcode in the right column.

​I've created my checkout template using SmartPayCart (SPC) and Thrive Architect. 


​If you don't have DAP or SPC, you can purchase it here! 

​We've add new DAP packages, and it includes SPC for FREE.

Step-by-step: How to create a High-Converting Checkout Page!

1.

Create a new checkout page in the SPC Manage >> Checkouts page.

2.

Select 2-step template. Customize & save the template. It'll give you a shortcode.

3.

Now edit the checkout page in WordPress.

4.

Remove the SPC checkout shortcode from default WP editor. Save the page.

5.

Download my template from your members area in the WCP site. 

6.

Then edit the page using thrive architect and import my checkout template.
You'll have a template that will look exactly like the image above.

7.

Just update the shortcode in the imported template with your SPC checkout shortcode.

8

Update the checkout page with your content.

9

Now create a new buy button or update your existing buy button to use this new checkout page. That's it! 

Your checkout page can serve as your sales page! You can send users to your checkout page directly from your ad. 

Watch the video to see step-by-step how to set it all up!

What’s the Best Way to launch a Membership Site?

Best way to launch a membership site

What's the best way to launch a membership site? 

Here's what I recommend:

-> Start with a free offer.
-> Just create content for your freebie first. Just a simple checklist or worksheet or a short video that won't take you more than 2-3 hours to put together.
-> Setup a simple opt-in page in WordPress.
-> Setup free product in your membership plugin, generate a signup form & publish on your opt-in page.
-> Deliver freebie from your membership site.
-> Get users used to the process of logging in to your website to consume content.
-> On your thank you page, add a simple CTA. Get them to join your free Facebook group / forum. Build your community.
-> Setup follow up emails. Ask users if they have consumed your content and if yes, ask them for their feedback. Send them a link to your testimonial page so they can leave you a review.
-> Add social proof to your opt-in page.

This exercise will also help you get familiar with your membership plugin, how it works, how you can generate member-facing pages, etc. So when you are ready to add your paid offer, you'll be able to do it quickly and easily.

Want to know how to build a lead magnet funnel?

Watch this video.

How To Build a Lead Magnet Funnel

Recently, I was on Deborah Denham Johnson's "Women at Halftime Podcast" where I talked about this, and several other common mistakes people make when it comes to bulding and launching their membership sites.

Your content does NOT have to be fully ready to build and launch your membership site. 

Create a content plan first but release it in phases.

You can also download this "Membership Site Planning Worksheet" to create a plan for your membership site.

If you want to create a worksheet to help your users solve a specific problem in your niche, and offer it for free, you have my permission to "make a copy" of this worksheet. Just remove the content from the membership site planning tab, and make it your own by adding your own content. 

After you've done this, before you create more content, do some content marketing for your lead magnet. 

Content Marketing for your FREE content

• Start blogging on your website. Publish at least one new post every week.
• Add a link to your lead magnet offer / opt-in page in every blog post so users will always find it no matter how they end up on your site.
• Make it easy to subscribe.
• Get social proof from people that have consumed your lead magnet. Add social proof to your opt-in page.
• Build your community. Create a Facebook group or add a forum plugin. On your thank you page, where users land when they opt-in to your freebie, add a simple "Click here to Join this Community" button, and link it to your Facebook group or your forum registration page.
• Setup a follow-up email sequence to stay in touch with those that have signed up for your lead magnet offer. Continue to provide value.
• In your 2nd or 3rd follow-up email, check if your users have consumed the freebie content, and if they found it valuable.
• If yes, ask them to leave you a short review. Make it easy for them by sending them a link to a page on your site where they can leave you a review. I use a plugin called "Thrive Ovation" (from thrive themes) to do this.
• If your content didn't help them, ask for feedback so you can use it to make updates to your free content and make it better.
• Send at least 1 email per week where you provide value.
• Promote on social media. Even if you don't get engagement, don't give up. Many people observe quietly even if they don't engage. Keep doing it.

Not finding the perfect software?

We receive several questions about our membership software in our pre-sales inbox. Sometimes the requirements are overly complex. Things that 99% of your users won't care about. 

If you just can't find the software that can do everything you want it to do, you may want to consider 'changing' your requirements. 

Click to Tweet

You're likely not going to find a software that can support all of your requirements.

Keep it simple. Don't complicate simple things. 

Your audience just wants you to help them solve their problems. 

They don't care what color you use to highlight a specific piece of information. Or if the software lets you display information in a very specific way. 

So if you are feeling stuck in 'software research' mode, and can't find a software that can do everything you want it to do, you may want to consider 'changing' your requirements, instead of hiring developers to create a custom solution for your custom requirements.

Get your first product out there!

• Start building your list!
• Get users used to the process of logging in to your membership site to consume content.
• Publish member-facing pages such as login page and content page. It'll give you the momentum you'll need to keep going with your membership site.

To summarize, the best way to launch a membership site is by just getting your first product out there! And it does not have to be anything fancy. Start with a FREE offer! Every product you create and release will help you get audience feedback so you can make it even better, and it'll give you new ideas for your next product.

What Makes DAP the MOST Complete Membership Platform?

If you are building a membership site for the short term with simple requirements (that you don't believe will change anytime soon), you can use any good membership plugin. There are several membership plugins that can get the job done.

However, if you are building a membership site for the long term, there's simply no membership plugin as comprehensive, scalable and robust as DigitalAccessPass.com (DAP), and there's no membership model that you can't implement using DAP - rewards model, drip model, course model, magazine model, on-demand access model, activity-based release model, and so much more!

Membership Site Planning Worksheet – FREE Download!

Membership Site Planning

Want to launch a membership site but feeling stuck and overwhelmed and don't know where to start? This Membership Site Planning Worksheet will help you come up with a plan and implement it in your membership software!

download FREE Membership Site Planning Worksheet

Building a membership site is easy when you have a plan! 

All you have to do is allow your ideas to take shape as content or product that you can offer from your membership site.  

I've created this worksheet to help you with the planning process. 

Nothing fancy.

Just a simple worksheet that's based on "4 core elements" of any membership site product or service - content, billing, access & delivery!

I created this worksheet based on my experience working with our customers on their membership site plan and strategy, on our concierge calls. Once you fill out this spreadsheet, setting it up becomes really easy, especially with DAP's new "Membership Site Setup Wizard"! 

So if you are putting off your membership site launch because you are stressed about the amount of work it would involve or if you could handle the technology and setup, this worksheet will help you get started!

Here's what I want you to do:

1. Download this sheet

download FREE Membership Site Planning Worksheet

2. Make a copy

- Make a copy and replace the dummy product names (product #1 to 4) with the actual names of your products.
- Add new products or remove product columns based on the specific needs for your site.
- Enter "x" under the right column for your product/service.

3. Your Products

A subscription product is just one application of a membership site. You can use your membership site for all sorts of products and services - freebies, one-off products, courses, community, coaching, webinars, free membership trial, etc.

I would start with these 3 products: 

- A freebie (just like this membership site planning worksheet)
It could be a checklist, worksheet, pdf, eBook, video training, webinar or any type of content that solves any one small problem that you have identified as something your audience would need help with. It shouldn't take you more 2-3 hours to put this together.

- A mini-course
Just a short course with say 10 video lessons. The entire course could be just 1 hour long. Use this course to help your users get from point A to point B in a step-by-step fashion. The goal of the course is to deliver a quick win for your users by solving one big problem for them. 

It's very easy to setup a course using DAP's built-in LMS. 

- Membership offer
When I launched my lab a couple of years ago, I just had a freebie and one course. I offered an annual membership @ $69/year so those that wanted access to not just the one course, but all future courses, ongoing content, plus the templates, bonuses, etc, could purchase membership. I let them know that the launch-special membership price was the lowest it would ever be. Users could purchase just the course or signup for yearly subscription.

Most users purchased annual membership!

4. Don't wait

Just come up with a plan and enter details in the worksheet.

You don't have to wait until ALL of your content and products are ready to launch a membership site or offer a membership program.

Here's some ideas for your membership offer:

-> full access to your existing products
-> full access to everything you'll add in future (let them know what to expect)
-> community access
-> one-on-one / group coaching
-> special bonuses, templates, free plugin etc

5. DAP's new Setup Wizard - Time to build

We've just released a new "membership site setup wizard" in DAP. It'll allow you to quickly and easily build your membership site. Just refer your membership site planning worksheet, and use the wizard to build it out! 

DAP setup Wizard

6. Don't have a DAP license?

Get one from here.

7. Release your freebie first!

Your content does NOT have to be fully ready to build your membership site.

Just create content for your freebie.
Setup a simple opt-in page in WordPress.
Setup free product in your membership plugin, generate a signup form & publish on your opt-in page.
Deliver freebie from your membership site.

8. Next up is your mini-course
If you use a plugin like DAP, it's easy to create and launch an online course one using DAP's built-in LMS.
Create your lessons in WordPress. Create your course in DAP. And make these lessons part of the course in DAP's course builder.

9. Upsell your course 

Add it to your members area so even users that signup for your freebie can see it when they login.

Upsell it on your thank you page (where users land after signing up for your freebie).

That's all.

Now you can continue to add more courses and other downloadable and premium content. ​

Add a membership offer as well.

If you are focused, this whole exercise will not take you more than one week to complete.

At the end of this exercise, you'll have a Membership site that will allow you to:

1. Build your list.
2. Attract the right type of prospects to your paid offer.
3. Start selling your one-time product (course).
4. Start adding membership subscribers.

Membership Site Planning: 4 Keys Elements of a Membership Site

by

Don't start building your membership site or shopping for a membership software before creating a Membership Site Plan! A well thought out plan for your membership site before you deep dive into the membership site building process, will help provide structure to your membership offer, and ensure a consistent flow of content.

It'll allow you to map out your member's journey through your membership site and clearly outline the steps they  need to take, and the order in which they need to consume your content, to get from where they are at now to where they want to go. It'll help you clearly communicate with your members what they can expect to learn from your membership site. 

download Membership Site Planning Worksheet

Once you've a plan in place, you can then shop for the right membership software - the one that will allow you to implement everything that's important to you.

You can use your membership site to create and deliver one or more products. Each product is made up of 4 key components. 

Content: What type of content will you offer? For e.g. online course, digital content, downloadable content, training, software, community, service, etc.
Billing: Will it be a free or paid offer? If paid, how are you going to charge for it (one-time, subscription, free or paid trial, payment plan, etc)? You also need to figure out the billing cycle (weekly, monthly, annual, etc) for your subscription offer.
Access: How many days of access will users receive when they signup for your product or purchase your product?
Delivery: How will you deliver your content? Here's some of the delivery models supported by DAP - Instant, ongoing, dripped & activity-based.

I created a simple membership site planning worksheet based on my experiences working one-on-one with many of our membership customers. This worksheet will help you with your membership site planning , content packaging & scheduling process. 

Just make a copy of it, fill it out with your product/service details, and then you can implement it one-by-one using a membership software such as DigitalAccessPass.com (DAP).

Click on the button below to download  it. 

Click here to download

Once you've filled out this spreadsheet, you can then shop for a membership software that has all the features that are important to you.

While you should follow your plan to build out your site, no need to wait for everything to be ready to launch your membership site! Create the first product on your list, release it, get social proof, get feedback, use it to make your product better, update your plan based on feedback, then continue to add more products and repeat! 

The worksheet (that you downloaded above) is based on "4 key elements" of a membership website. 

Let's start with your content!

1

Your Membership Site Content

You can create & deliver different types of content from your membership site. 


1. Online Course 

An online course will allow you to solve a specific problem for your members and help them reach their end goal, in a step-by-step way, broken down into modules/lessons. You can sell your courses individually for a one-time fee or offer all of your courses for free with a monthly or annual subscription. This is how I sell my courses in the lab.

Some membership plugins (such as DAP) come with a built-in LMS so you won't need another software to manage your courses. You can create and manage your courses in your membership software.


2. Digital Content (consumed online)

You can release in-depth content in different formats (such as audio, video, articles) and allow users to consume it online.


3. Downloadable Content

You can create & offer downloadable content such as worksheets, checklists, cheat sheets, PDF guides, eBooks and reports. You can offer all of your downloadable content for free to your monthly and annual members. Your members can login and access a library of helpful checklists and worksheets in the members area.


4. Service

A membership site is all about delivering consistent and ongoing value. And it does not mean you need to continually release new content. You can offer one-on-one coaching, group coaching and other services (such as done-for-you) as a benefit of joining your membership program. Offer a certain amount of consulting time each month.  This will allow you to make your membership offer more enticing and valuable, and help convert one-time buyers into paying subscribers. 


5. Community  

A community membership will provide your members a place to communicate with each other and help other members. You can create a paid community/forum where paying members will have full access to it. They'll automatically lose access if they cancel their membership


6. Software

Software products are a great fit for a membership site! You can sell product licenses for a one-time fee or create different pricing tiers with different levels of access and/or benefits. The highest tier gets access to all of the features while the lower level tiers get access to limited features. Or you could offer additional products, bonuses and other benefits to higher level tiers similar to what we do at DigitalAccessPass.com.


7. Webinars & Live Streams

Record and make it available for consumption in members area. Offer it as another benefit of joining membership.


8. Product Reviews

About 92% consumers read online reviews before making a purchase and 40% form their opinion by reading just one to three product reviews. In addition to your own products, you can write a detailed review about other products and services that you use or have experience with, and feel comfortable recommending to others, and earn a referral commission if users end up buying it through your link.


9. Interviews / Customer Stories

Publish exclusive interviews with industry experts. You can also publish customer interviews / case studies inside of your membership site, on your blog, social media, podcast, etc. When existing users see how others are benefiting from your course/training, how they've implemented it, and the results they got from it, it'll encourage them to do the same! 


See this post on different membership models supported by DAP.


2

Pricing Model

A subscription model is just one application of a membership site. You can charge for your content in many different ways -  free trial, paid trial, one-time payment, payment plan to recurring memberships. What type of pricing model do you want to use?


A membership site can power your entire sales funnel from your freebies to paid products to your high-end coaching program.


1. Free Offer

You can use your membership site to offer freebies. Users need to register to get access but don't have to make a payment.


2. One-time Payment 

You can offer products for a one-time fee with limited-time access or one-time fee with 'lifetime access'.


On our DigitalAccessPass.com site, we offer both one-time and membership option for our product license. Users that sign up for the one-time option get limited access (1 year) to latest updates and support. At the end of the year, if they want to continue access to support and latest updates, they can renew their license, but renewal is not automated.  


3. Recurring Memberships

Do you want to offer a subscription program where users need to pay a recurring fee for continued access to your membership site? You can offer different membership options such as monthly and annual. Offer annual at a discounted rate to incentivize users to signup for annual. See how we do this on our DigitalAccessPass.com site. You can offer different membership tiers such as silver, gold, platinum, etc. See this post on how to set it up using DAP.


4. Trial offer

Do you want to offer a free trial or a low-cost trial for your membership so users can get a taste of what's inside as it'll help them decide if it's for them? See this post on how to do this using a membership software such as DAP.

​

5. Payment Plan

Do you want to offer a payment plan so users can pay in installments instead of full payment upfront? To incentivize users to signup for the "full payment upfront" option, you can reduce the "pay in full' price so it's lower than the sum of payments in the installment option. Use that as an incentive to get users to pay in full. 


6. Pay-what-you-want / Donation

Pay-what-you-want (PWYW) is a pricing strategy where buyers pay their desired amount for your product or service. And it's very easy to setup a PWYW button using SmartPayCart.com (SPC). You can set a minimum amount for your PWYW buttons. This way users will have to pay at least the minimum amount to get access. They can pay more but not less than the minimum amount. See this post on how to set this up using DAP/SPC.

​

3

Access Model

You can control the "length of time" users get access to your products/content. 


Here are a few options to consider:  

1. One-time payment with Limited Access to product.

2. One-time payment with Lifetime Access to product.
3. Free trial + recurring payment:

Initial access based on the trial period. Access extended upon each subscription payment. If users cancel during the trial period, they'll instantly lose access to your product.
4. Recurring Subscription (Monthly, Annual, etc): 

Pay-as-you-go model. Access extended upon each subscription payment. Access automatically stops upon cancellation or failed payments.
5. Payment Plan:

Access ends after the final payment or you can award lifetime access after the final installment.
6. Lifetime Membership:

One-time payment and lifetime access to content.

4

Delivery Model

You can deliver your content in different ways.  Here are some of the key content delivery models supported by DAP:

Instant: Give members instant access to your premium content upon purchase.


Ongoing: Publish new content on an ongoing basis (usually per month) and make it available to your members.


Activity-Based: Instant access to first lesson. Release of content is controlled by member's progress. For e.g., access to next lesson is locked until user's confirm they have completed the current task/lesson.


Drip Model (day or date-based): Use a day-based or date-based drip model. The day-based drip schedule is based on the member's start date to your product or service. The date-based drip schedule is based a specific start date. Content will be available to all users on that same date. You can use date-based drip to implement a magazine-style subscription model.

If you are building a membership site for the short term with simple requirements (that you don't believe will change anytime soon), you can use any good membership plugin. There are several membership plugins that can get the job done.

A Simple Way to Launch your Membership Site!

by Leave a Comment

A Simple & Easy way to Build, Launch & Grow your Membership!

Start small, launch and then scale!

Want to start a membership site but feeling stuck? Not sure where to starrt? 

Here's an easy way to build your list and monetize your skills, knowledge & expertise using a membership site:

One of the common myths about membership sites is "I need to have a ton of content before I launch it"!

People think they need to create a boat load of content before they launch their membership site.  So they keep working on content for months. And then they spend weeks doing "membership software/plugin" research looking for that perfect membership software that checks all the boxes.

The problem with overcomplicating requirements is that you are not going to find a plugin or a platform that will meet all of your requirements. Ultimately, the excitement of launching a membership site and monetizing your content will turn to stress and frustration. So many people give up before they even get started! 

I've seen people signup for our membership software - DigitalAccessPass.com (DAP), and months later they send an email... "Can you please pause my membership because I have not had the time to work on it" or "I need more time to complete my content".

​Don't do that!

Start small.

Keep it simple!

Here are some things to consider and a really simple & easy approach to launching a membership site:

1. What do you know really, really well?
2. Can you teach one of the things that you are really good at, from start to finish, in a step-by-step way?
3. Write down the main steps.
4. Each main step can be a lesson in your course.
5. Create a short video for each lesson.
6. Say you end up with 10 video lessons, each 5-7 minutes long.
7. That's it.

You now have a short 1 hour course that will help solve a specific problem your audience has, in just 1 hour!

Let's say it takes you a week to create this content.

The next step is to set up your course in your course software (LMS) or in your membership plugin. If you use a membership plugin like DigitalAccessPass (DAP), it comes with a built-in LMS so you won't need another LMS for your course.

Here's an easy way to build your audience and convert qualified subscribers into customers:

1. Offer the first 3 lessons of your course for FREE. It'll help you build your list.
2. In the last free lesson, make a special offer so users can upgrade and get access to the full course at a discounted price.
3. If your users find value in the first 3 lessons, there is good chance they'll upgrade to the paid version.
4. After every lesson, congratulate users on completing the lesson. Send them an encouraging email to motivate them to keep going.
5. At the end of the course, be sure to request a testimonial. Add an easy way for your users to leave you a testimonial. Use a testimonial plugin so they can just fill it out after completing the last lesson while it's still fresh in their minds! Even if they didn't like the course, have them leave you a review as it'll help you make your course better. This is how I got all the testimonials that I've published on my lab home page.
6. Publish the testimonials on your home page.
7. Continue adding more courses.
8. Offer a membership so users can get all courses for FREE as part of membership. Offer other benefits with your membership site such as community access, one-on-one and group coaching, etc.
9. Now you've a membership site!

Just get started!​

All you need is just 1 course to get started with your membership site! Then continue to add more!

Start small. Help a small group of people get results first. Every time you help your customers get results, they will help spread the word about your membership site. It's really not that hard to launch an online course or a membership site and build your audience, especially if you use a membership plugin like DAP.

What Makes DAP the MOST Complete Membership Platform?

The World’s MOST POWERFUL Membership Platform!

by 1 Comment

What Makes DAP the MOST Complete Membership Platform?

Come take a Tour of DAP with me to find out!

Watch Video to Learn how you can grow your online business using DAP!

More than a Membership Plugin

if you are building a membership site for the short term with simple requirements (that you don't believe will change anytime soon), you can use any good membership plugin. There are several membership plugins that can get the job done.


However, if you are building a membership site for the long term, there's simply no membership plugin as comprehensive, scalable and robust as DAP, and there's no membership model that you can't implement using DAP - rewards model, drip model, course model, magazine model, on-demand access model, activity-based release model, and so much more!


DAP is MORE than just a membership plugin. DAP does a whole lot more than just protect content.

What membership model do you want to use?

Using DAP, you can create a members-only site where your users (free or paid) can log in to access their product, content, training, bonuses, courses, and community. A subscription model is just one application of a membership site. There are a variety of ways you can create and deliver your products & services from a DAP-Powered membership site. 


DAP supports all kinds of membership models. You can even use a hybrid model where you can use different membership models for different products.

Online Course Model
Content Drip Model
Tiered Membership
Free & Paid Funnels
Product Bundling / Bonus 
Free Trial Membership
Netflix-style Pay-Per-Post 
Digital Content
Magazine Model
Pay-What-You-Want
Group Membership Model
All Access Model
Rewards (Points) Model
Library / Templates
Community

The Most Scalable & Complete WordPress Membership plugin!

DAP will allow you to sell access to different types of content: Video, Audio, Articles, PDF’s, WordPress Pages/Posts & Categories, Webinar, Courses, Trainings, etc. You can use DAP for your free products, or to charge for premium content in many different ways: one-time fee, recurring subscriptions, free trial, paid trial, renewals, payment plans and so on.


Your users can manage all of their products and services under a single account/login. You can create unlimited products, unlimited membership levels, unlimited users, unlimited affiliates, unlimited upsells... There are NO limits!


The possibilities are truly endless!


I agree that DAP was not the easiest-to-use plugins but that was in the past! Everything has changed in the new DAP! From 1-click DAP upgrades, upcoming setup wizard to the ability to implement any type of membership model. No membership plugin/platform as evolved as much as DAP has in the past few years.


​Watch the video above for a quick tour of DAP and see what makes DAP the most powerful membership platform in the world!

DAP’s NEW Automated Upgrade Feature!

by Leave a Comment

NEW: 1-Click DAP Upgrade is HERE!

DAP Upgrades Made EASY!

We're doubling down on our efforts to make DAP easy-to-use and setup.

Today, I'm very excited to let you know that you can now upgrade DAP to the latest live/beta version with the click of a button from within your DAP Admin Dashboard! You'll not have to upload files via FTP/ File Manager etc. You will not even need the easy installer plugin to upgrade DAP & LiveLinks anymore.

We've just released DAP v7.9.8 / LL v4.9.8 and it supports this new auto-upgrade feature! It's a beta release so if it's a live/busy site, please do not install this upgrade until this release becomes final (likely next week).

It's ALL automated and you can do it from your DAP admin dashboard. 

Here's how it works:

Upgrade button in the DAP Dashboard

When you login to DAP admin dashboard, you'll find an upgrade message and an upgrade button towards the top. This feature is designed to detect if you're on an older version of DAP and it'll automatically show an upgrade button so you can upgrade to latest.


This message will only show up if you are not on the latest version of DAP.

Click on the upgrade button. It'll bring you to the upgrade page.

When you click on the upgrade button, it'll bring you to the auto-upgrade page where you can select the location of your WP install, choose live or beta version, and it'll upgrade you to that version!


You can also get to this page by clicking on "Updates" under the "Reports" menu.

You need to first upgrade to this latest version of DAP (v7.9.8 / LL v4.9.8) for the auto-upgrade feature to be installed on your site. After you upgrade to this version, going forward, you can use the auto-upgrade feature to upgrade dap and livelinks.

DAP v7.9.8 Release Details

BETA Release:

Please note that this is a BETA release of DAP v7.9.8 and LiveLinks v4.9.8. If your site is live/busy, do not upgrade yet.  

How to become a DAP Elite Member:
If you’re not a DAP Monthly Elite member, you could upgrade, and avail our “no worries, we’ll do it for you” service. Plus you get all our plugins such as SmartPayCart.com, GameOfPoints.com for free. Click HERE to find out more.

Access Expired?
If you don’t find DAP v7.9.8 and DAP LiveLinks v4.9.8 zip files in your member’s area, it’s probably because your access to DAP Support & Upgrades has expired. Click here to find out how you can renew your support/upgrade access for another year.

Automated Login Email Reminder!

by Leave a Comment

How to Send Automated Login Reminder Emails!

Watch Video: How to Send Automated Login Reminder Emails!

The other day I got an email reminder from one of the sites that I had not logged-in to from the past 60 days and the email subject caught my attention!

Reminder: Not logged-in from 60 days!


It was an automated login email reminder sent by DAP as I had not logged-in to one of my DAP sites from the past 60 days, and I had configured DAP on that site to send out an automated email reminder to members if they haven't logged-in for a set period of time (60 days).


The email had my login credentials as well so I was able to quickly click on the login link, login to site and check out the new content in the members area!  


What a great way to bring users back to your site and engage with your content again!


Right?


The good news is... you can setup and automate login email reminders, quickly and easily, using DAP's new "Automated Login Email Reminder" feature! This feature is part of DAP v7.9.4.


Watch the video above to see how to set it up.
