Creating a One-Time Product

When you're creating your very first product, there are a few extra steps, most of which are a one-time setup because it's the first time you're setting up DAP. Once you complete the one-time setup, starting with the 2nd product, it's going to take you just a minute or two to create each product.

Let's walk through one full product end-to-end so you can understand the full flow.

1. Log in to your DAP Dashboard
2. Go to Products/Levels > Manage
3. It'll bring you to the manage products page. You'll find a list of all your products here.
4. When you're just starting out with DAP, you'll find two sample products on this page.
5. Select any one product and click on the clone button to create a copy of the product. This will save it as a new product with the word "Copy" at the end of the product name: Example Subscription Product Copy. Now click on the edit button to edit the product.
6. You will now be on the General Settings tab of the product.
7. Modify Product Name. Eg., Facebook Marketing 
8. Modify Product Description. Eg., Get access to our entire library of Facebook Marketing Videos
9. Upload a product image.
10. Select product type as "online course" or "other".
11. In the Billing & Access tab, designate product as 'free' or 'paid'. If it's a free product, enter access duration. If it's a paid product, select type as one-time or recurring. Then fill in billing and access details for the product.
12. In the Notifications tab, you can configure / customize your welcome email. This email will automatically go out to users when an account is created in DAP (via payment or signup). You can send membership login credentials in the welcome email. 
13. You can also integrate DAP with your email platform such as Aweber, ActiveCampaign, Drip, ConvertKit, GetResponse, Mailchimp, MailerLite, SendInBlue or even Zapier via the DAP Automation Engine. When users get access to the product in DAP, if you have connected it to an external email platform or Zapier via the DAP automation engine, DAP will automatically add users to the configured list in the right email platform. You can access the automation engine from DAP products/levels >> Manage Automation page.
14. In the Content Responder tab, you can add content to your product. This is the tab where you specify what content (post, pages, files, etc) is going to be available to those who have purchased (or signed up for) this Product. The left column - Available Content - shows published pages and posts from your WordPress blog. The right column - Protected Content - shows all of the content already "added" to this Product. When content is added to the protected content column, only logged-in members that have purchased the product (or signed up for it) can access the content.
15. To see how this works, pick the first blog post from the left and drag/drop it to the protected content area.
16. As soon as you do that, a few moments later, you'll see the post appear in the Protected Content column on the right, as a clickable link. That means, this post is now protected, and is accessible ONLY to users who have purchased this Product. To test, click on this newly added link on the right, and that blog post will open up in a new tab in your browser. And you will see the DAP "Lock" image with a message that says Sorry, you don't have access to this content....
17. You see the "Sorry..." message only because you as the DAP Admin don't have access to this protected content yet. That is because, you, the DAP Admin, don't have access to the Platinum Membership product yet. So the next thing is to give yourself access to the Product.
18. Go to Member > Manage in the DAP Dashboard menu at the top.
19. On the Members > Manage page, you'll see a list of users below in the list of users below. At this time, you will see only 1 user listed - that is yourself, the DAP Admin user. Now we have to give you access to your newly created product, Facebook Marketing.
20. To do this, first check the checkbox at the beginning of that row. Then look for "Bulk Action" towards the top of the page, select Give Access and select the product. Click on the apply button. That will give you access to the product.
21. Now, in the search results below, you'll see that the Admin user now has access to the Facebook Marketing product. 
22. Go back to the Products/Levels > Manage screen and select the Facebook Marketing product. Then go to the ContentResponder tab. Now click on the protected link in the right section under Protected Content.
    
    It will open in a new tab, and this time, you won't see the "Lock" image, but instead, you'll see the full content of that post. That's because you now have valid, paid access to the Platinum Members product under which you had protected this post.
23. At a later time, you can add the rest of your content to this product, by adding the content from left to right, and making it a part of this product. For now, let's see how to set the dripping for this post.
24. Now, to the left of the newly protected link (under Protected Content), you will see a small link with the text "edit". Clicking on that will launch the "Drip Settings Popup". And there, you will see that the Start Day # is set to 1 by default. Which means, this content is available to the user from day 1 (the day they purchased this product).
    
    As you add more content to this product, by default, they're all initially set to drip on day 1. But if you want to drip, say, one post per week, then you can click on the "edit" link next to each content, and set the Start Day to be, say, 1, 8, 15, etc. Setting to 8 means that the content will be released to the user only on the 8th day (from the time of their purchasing this product). And until then, if they visit that post or page directly, then they will see the same "Lock" image you saw earlier.
25. In the Email Autoresponder tab, you can drip out follow up emails. This is the tab where you can create a fully pre-scheduled, Autoresponder series for each product by itself. Similar to the ContentResponder tab, this tab also has two columns: Available Emails on the left, Assigned Emails on the right.
    
    Initially, you'll see just one pre-written autoresponder email in the Available Emails column. And there are two links next to it: add & edit.
    
    Clicking on add will add this email to this Product's autoresponder series, and will set it to go out on day #1 by default. Clicking on edit will take you to a different screen (Email > Autoresponders), where you can edit the subject and body of this particular email, and also create more emails in the system which then you can add to various Products separately.
    
    So you could create one single email called Thank You For Your Purchase on the Email > Autoresponders page, and then go back to the Products page (Products/Levels > Manage), pick any product, go to the Autoresponders tab, and then add this email to that specific product.
    
    Once you have added an email from the Available Emails on the left, to the Assigned Emails on the right, you will see a small edit link next to the email subject on the right. Clicking on that will launch the Email Drip Settings popup, where you can specify on which day this specific email is to be sent to buyers of this product. So if you set an email to go out on Day #7, then it will go out to the buyers of this Product (say, Platinum Members), on the 7th day after they've purchased that product or level (TIP: the day of their joining is day #1). If you use an external email platform, you can skip this tab and configure emails directly in your email platform.
26. That's it. In the Advanced tab of the product, you will find your product summary and next steps. Enter the following details.

         => Sales Page URL: Enter https://YourSite.com/ for now (of course, replace "YourSite.com" with your actual domain name). You can change it later to point to your actual sales page where your buy button is going to be for this product

        => Error Page URL: Skip for now

        => Post-Login URL: Enter the URL of the My Content Page (MHP) we created earlier. It should look something like https://YourSite.com/member-home/. If it's an online course, enter the URL of your Table-Of-Contents page for that course. 

        => Product Status: Active

We've now completed the Product setup (for the most part). It's time to create a buy button for this product, and put it on your sales page, so that people can start buying the product (or, "subscribing" to this "level").

Step 7: How to sell your products using DAP

Watch this video to see how you can use SPC to generate payment buttons for your products in DAP. 

Step 8: How to Setup a Lead Magnet Funnel using DAP

After you create a FREE and a PAID Product in DAP, you can configure your FREE signup form to send users to your OTO page where you can make a special offer for your paid product.

Watch this video to see how to do this using DAP.

Step 9: How to Create Different Membership Levels using DAP

You can create unlimited membership levels in DAP.

Watch this video to how to create Membership Levels (Silver, Gold, Platinum, etc.) in DAP.

Let's say you have 3 levels in your membership site - "Platinum Membership", "Gold Membership" and "Silver Membership". First create 3 subscription products in DAP by those names, and then create 3 buy buttons, one for each level. Publish the buttons on your sales page. Under each of those products in DAP backend, protect the pages, posts, categories or files that should be available to members of each of those levels.

Say you have 9 pages of content and you want your platinum members to get access to all 9, gold members to get access to only 6, and Silver to get access to only 3.

You would go into the "Platinum Membership" product in DAP, go to the "ContentResponder" tab, and move all 9 pages from left to right, and once those 9 pages are protected as part of that product, that means that anyone who is a platinum member would have access to just those 9 pages, and nothing else.

Then you would go into the "Gold Membership" product in DAP, go to the "ContentResponder" tab, and this time, move only 6 of those same pages from left to right, and once those 6 pages are protected as part of that product, that means that anyone who is a gold member would have access to just those 6 pages, and nothing else. And they wouldn't be able to access any pages that are protected as part of OTHER products but NOT this product. So they won't be able to access those 3 extra pages that the Platinum members get access to.

Then you would go into the "Silver Membership" product in DAP, go to the "ContentResponder" tab, and this time, move only 3 pages from left to right, and once those 3 pages are protected as part of that product, that means that anyone who is a gold member would have access to just those 3 pages, and nothing else. And they wouldn't be able to access any pages that are protected as part of OTHER products but NOT this product. So they won't be able to access those 6 extra pages that the Platinum members get access to, or the 3 extra pages that the Gold members get access to.

So each product is a self-contained bucket of information, which defines what content is available to the buyers (or members) of that product.

Remember, in DAP, you can protect the same content under different Products. And as long as a member has access to the content under at least one Product, they will be able to get to it.

So if you have protected a video page under both "Platinum Membership" and "One-Time Bonus" products, and a member has access to both products, and their access to Platinum Membership product has since expired, but their access to One-Time Bonus is still active, then your member can get to the video page via the product where their access is active, even if the same content has expired under a different product.

Watch the video above to see how you can do this in DAP.

Step 10: How to Offer Bonus Products (as a Perk for joining your Membership) using DAP

If you want to give users access to other products and services as a bonus when they signup for your membership offer, you can do it using the "product chaining" feature in DAP. 

Watch this video to see how you can give users automatic access to bonus products when they signup for your membership offer.
