Why is PagSeguro the Best Solution

PagSeguro is a UOL company, which is currently the most dominant Latin America web-portal since the mid 1990’s, along with being the leader in Brazil. In the region, more than 70% of all users will access UOL at least one time every month. This means that PagSeguro gives you unprecedented reach into the area.

PagSeguro allows you to set everything up under a single contract and with no monthly fee, membership fee, or minimum transaction volume. This will help you centralize your record keeping, which saves time and money. It is designed as a zero-risk system which automatically outsources the analysis and risk of accepting specific payments and protects you from unwarranted charge backs

The best part about PagSeguro is that it will instantly allow you to accept all of the most popular payment methods including:

All Major Credit Cards including Visa, MasterCard, Amex, Aura, PlenoCard, and Aura

How Easy Is the PagSeguro Integration Process with Magic Members?

Once your PagSeguro account is set up, integrating it with your membership site couldn’t be any easier. Using the simple Magic Member interface, you can have everything fully integrated in under a minute. The best part is the Magic Members is designed to take care of the complex PagSeguro payment processor integration simultaneously. From there, your website will be ready to receive all of the sales that you can generate.

There are two things to keep in mind when using PagSeguro. The first is that there is a 14 day waiting period between when you accept the payment and actually receive the funds. This 2 week buffer was designed to protect both the buyers and sellers. It also provides you with a huge advantage because the number one reason that most people hesitate when making a purchase online is fear. With the 14 day waiting period, your customers will feel safe and secure.

The second is that PagSeguro offers buyers a unique pre-paid plan which makes them more likely to purchase at sites that sell through PagSeguro than other payment processors. This is because by pre-paying, they have already committed to spending their money online.

PagSeguro gives you near-instant access an e-commerce opportunity that has exploded over the decade by giving your access to online shoppers based in Brazil. With the easy to use Magic Members dashboard, you can integrate PagSeguro within a matter of seconds.

What do your members see as soon as they log into your membership site? In most cases, they will probably just see the navigation dashboard or welcome page. While this doesn’t necessarily hurt you, it doesn’t help you either. The Magic Members plugin gives you the ability to create a custom landing page that every member will see as soon as they log into their profile. With the opportunity to show them anything you want, why wouldn’t you take advantage of it? Here are 3 unique ways that you can profit from creating a strategic login redirection.

1. Gather Information
One option is to create a survey or questionnaire on the landing page. This provides you with a unique opportunity to gather information. More importantly, you are gathering information from active members. This will let you know exactly what they are interested in. With this information, you can tailor upcoming content to meet the needs of your members. You could also use this information to create additional products that can be sold both to members as well as the general public. The only thing to keep in mind is that you need to be updating the survey often enough to make sure that a member isn’t seeing the same thing over and over again. The only exception to this is if you are asking very general questions and letting them take control over what information they provide.

2. Promote Other Products
Another option is to cross promote other products. These could be affiliate products, free offers, or even your own products (ideally your higher ticket items). When people first log into the members area, they tend to be at the height of their anticipation because they want to know what they will find. By hitting them with an offer when they are most interested in getting something, you can end up with very good conversion rates.

3. Paid Advertising
If you want to monetize with strategic login redirection, but still want a fairly hands off approach, then selling banner space is the perfect solution. The best part is that you can get top dollar because you can guarantee that every member will see the banner, every time that they log in. You can either sell the space based on a per-view or per-time period basis. Either way, this is a great way to generate a profit without having to do much additional work.

If you use your imagination, there are hundreds of different things that you can do by strategically redirecting members when log into the members area. The best part is that the Magic Members plugin makes this incredibly simple, so that you can set up and modify where you redirect your members to within a matter of minutes.

The problem that many merchants have had, especially for membership sites, is actually integrating the processor into their website. The Magic Members plugin now makes eWay integration easier than ever.

How to Integrate eWay With Your Membership Site

With Magic Member, the eWay integration process can be completed within a matter of minutes. Once you go to the payment gateway section of the plugin, all you have to do is enter your account details and activate it. Once this is done, your membership site will automatically add eWay to your customers checkout options.

Along with an excellent processing center, they are perfect for online businesses because of their advanced reporting system.

With a membership site, these reports are incredibly important so that you can track key statistics, like your attrition rate, to maximize your profit potential.

With the Magic Members plugin, eWay integration couldn’t be any easier.

Using the Sequential Course Delivery System that the Magic Members Wordpress plugin provides should be considered an essential element of your overall strategy. In very cases, is this style of content delivery ineffective. In case you are unfamiliar with this feature, it basically allows you to drip feed content over a specified period of time. For example, you create some content for Month 1. Anytime that someone becomes a member, they start out only getting access to the Month 1 content. If you haven’t considered using this feature, then you could be undercutting the value of your membership site. Here are 3 benefits that your membership site will gain from implementing the Sequential Course Delivery System.

1. Cuts Down on Pre-Launch Content Creation
One of the biggest benefits to using the sequential course delivery system is that it limits the amount of content that you need before you launch your membership site. Technically, you only need the first days worth of content to launch, however it is normally recommended to have a month or two content already loaded. In the end, you only need create content that is one month ahead of your longest member. If your oldest member leaves after 1 year and the next older member has only been around for 8 months, then you don’t need to create any content for several months.

2. Improves Membership Length
In almost every membership format, providing content sequentially will improve the average amount of time that a member remains a member. If you give them everything at once, then there is a good chance that some members will sign up for a month and then cancel. When they want to know what else has been added, they can simply sign back up for another month and get everything that they missed. In the end, they could sign up and cancel once a year and never miss a thing.

Another way that it can improve your membership length is that you can monitor when most member leave. If they are all leaving 5 months in, then you can probably infer that the content for month 5 needs to be modified in some way. By drip feeding content, you can more effectively identify what content is the most effective and what content isn’t meeting the needs of your members.

3. Improves Initial Conversion Rate
Another benefit of using the sequential course delivery system is that it can be a mechanism to improve your initial conversions. This can be done in several different ways. The first is simply that the sooner someone signs up, the sooner they will get to the more advanced content. The second, is that you can offer the first month as a “bonus” for members who sign up now. This means that they will get both month 1 and month 2 when they sign up. Essentially, you are giving them a months-worth of content for free, which is a great way to get people to sign up. Finally, you can create a premium membership tier that gets access to everything. An important caveat is that this membership tier should only have one or two payment options – yearly or lifetime. Otherwise you will be undercutting the whole point of drip feeding the content on other membership tiers.

There are a growing number of benefits to using the sequential course delivery system that the Magic Members plugin offers. The key is leveraging for the maximum benefit, which can vary from niche to niche. While it may take a little testing to get the perfect equation, drip feeding should be a cornerstone of your solution.

One of the most commonly cited reasons that people use the Magic Members plugin is that it provides a maximum amount of flexibility in terms of how you create memberships. The key is not only having this ability, but knowing how to leverage it for the maximum benefit. Everyone knows how to create a membership with a single tier, but many either don’t know how or don’t know why creating additional tiers can provide unique benefits that aren’t otherwise possible. Here is a quick look at some of the flexible membership options that Magic Members allows you to utilize and how to implement them for maximum results.

1. The Free Trial
Even the newest membership site owner knows the theoretical benefit of giving their customers a free trial before they actually join the site. The problem is that the free trial isn’t always utilized in a way to maximize the number of people who convert from free member to paying member. The balancing act that many people have to decide between is whether or not a free trial should provide full access to all of the content, or just part of it. In general, there is a fairly simple way to make this decision. If the information is entirely educational, then it makes sense to still have content that cannot be accessed during the free trial. This will make the free trial a big teaser, which can boost conversions.

On the other hand, if you are providing something to your members that can get them invested in your offer, such as a piece of software or tool that they will use, then giving them access to everything during the trial will draw them in further, and boost conversions. For example, if you are running a health related membership site and premium members get to use some sort of diet tracker or workout tracker, then giving them access to it right away will get them personally invested in becoming a member. Remember, the key is not only offer a free trial, but offering the right kind of free trial.

2. The Extra Month
This is a strategy that is rarely used by membership sites, but can be the most effective way to lower your attrition rate. Essentially, when someone starts to cancel, you offer them an additional free month as a member. If you have multiple tiers, you should give them a free month at a membership level that is one tier above what they currently are. You then use this additional month to sell your premium tiers. In many cases, people cancel because they aren’t receiving enough value. By giving them access to more than they previously had, they can get the extra value that they are looking for. Then once this free month is over, you offer them the higher level membership at the same rate they paid for the lower tier (normally this special rate will go for 3 or 4 months). This will not only prevent people from leaving your membership site, but can actually increase the number of people who take part at your premium membership tiers.

There are a lot of different ways that you can utilize the flexible membership options that Magic Members provides. The key is implementing these feature effectively to improve conversions and lower your attrition rate.

One marketing strategy that doesn’t get talked about very often is using Coupons. The Magic Members plugin allows you to generate an unlimited number of coupons that can provide as many different discounts as you want to use. When you first think about using coupons, there may not be very many strategies that come to mind, however they can provide you will a large number of benefits that all lead to you making more money. Here is a quick look at a few different strategies that only coupons can give you access to.

1. New Source of Incoming Links
In terms of search engine optimization, one of the biggest problems that a lot o membership site owners have is finding new sources of incoming back links. There are thousands of coupon sites on the internet, and the only people getting back links from them are those who have some sort of coupon to offer. By using the Magic Members coupon function, you can submit your own coupon to these sites and get a massive amount of back links. The best part, is that you don’t have to give away a huge discount off your monthly fee. Instead, you can create an additional bonus that can only be claimed with a coupon. Not only do you maintain your bottom line, but still give people a compelling reason to want to see your coupon. You can also write up press releases about “new coupons”. This is an additional source of back links that can be very powerful.

2. New Tool For Affiliates and Super Affiliates
There are two different ways that you can use a coupon to boost the sales of your affiliate marketers. The first is to create one general coupon that every affiliate can use. This is especially useful for those affiliates who have built large lists because a coupon gives their readers a reason to act immediately.

For your super affiliates, a coupon is a uniquely beneficial tool because it accomplishes two goals simultaneously. The first is that by giving your super affiliates a coupon code that only they know about, you will be building greater trust and mutual respect for your relationship with them. The second benefit is that their list will have an even higher conversion rate which not only means more money for you, but more money for them as well. If there is one thing that keeps your affiliates happy, it is giving them a higher conversion rate and more total conversions.

3. Gives People a Reason to Join Today
If there is one big barrier that could be keeping your conversion rate lower than expected, it is apathy. It can be difficult to convince people that they need to become a member today, because most will assume that if the membership site is good, then it will be there tomorrow With a coupon that is only available for a limited time, you are giving people a reason to sign up immediately. The key is to not have a coupon available all of the time. If you decide to issue a new coupon every month, then it shouldn’t be valid for the entire month. Instead, make it available for the first 10 or 15 days.

As you can see, there are a number of benefits that you can gain from using the coupon feature that the Magic Members plugin offers. The best part is that every benefit leads to tangible results – most importantly, more back links, higher conversions, and higher profits.

5 Reasons That a Wordpress Membership Site is the Way to Go

By combining the power of Wordpress and the right plugins, you have the ability to create a stunning and profitable Wordpress membership site. In fact, Wordpress has become the most popular option available for webmasters who are thinking about creating and maintaining a membership site. If you haven’t worked with Wordpress before or still consider it a blog platform then you may be a little hesitant. Here are 5 reasons that a Wordpress membership site is currently the best option available.

1. Simplicity

If there is one thing that Wordpress is known for it is simplicity. It was originally designed to be a basic blogging platform that would allow anyone to start their own blog, even if they had no prior website creation experience. Since then, Wordpress has added a number of features and has become a top tier content management system. At the same time, it is still held firm to the idea that the Wordpress core should be simple to use regardless of your experience.

2. Flexibility

Another benefit of creating a Wordpress membership site is that you will be afforded maximum flexibility. Wordpress, along with being simple, was also designed to be extremely flexible. For example, by adding nothing else except the Magic Members plugin you can turn a regular site into a premium membership site within minutes. Plugins provide Wordpress users with maximum flexibility because they are designed to accomplish any task that you want while still working with the Wordpress core.

3. Minimum Technical Issues

One of the biggest drawbacks with most content management systems is that adding third party software is often quite a hassle. Compatibility problems are not uncommon, especially if you are using a customized CMS. To compound the problems, most software developers are of little assistance because they tell you that their software is fine so the problem must be with the CMS. By using Wordpress you can bypass this problem because all of the plugins are specifically designed to integrate with the Wordpress core. While there is still a marginal chance that two plugins may not play nicely together, finding a solution is much easier because you can already rule out the Wordpress core as the problem.

4. Easy to Use

Ease of use is a benefit that is often overlooked. By creating a Wordpress membership site you have the ability to create, maintain, and update your site from a single, organized location. If you are not using a CMS or are using separate third party membership management software then this simply isn’t possible. You will have to upload and edit your content in one area, edit the website layout in another, and then go to another area to deal with the membership software. This decentralized approach is not only hard to manage but also hard to track. By using Wordpress, you get a centralized location in which you can take care of everything.

5. Fluidity

Wordpress has become well known for having one of the largest, active, and most talented pool of developers. By creating a Wordpress membership site, you can leverage all of their talent to create an excellent finished product. Plus, you know that Wordpress will continue to improve in the future.

A Wordpress Membership Site – The Power of Wordpress and the Revenue of a Membership Site

Membership sites have shown to provide a number of advantages to people who are interested in generating income online. There are a wide variety of different models to follow ranging from your standard lifelong membership sites to modular continuity sites and even private forums. Regardless of what model you plan on following, there are likely a number of benefits that you can gain by creating a Wordpress membership site. Wordpress offers a number of advantages over other content management systems. These advantages can be directly tied to increased online revenue. Here is a quick look at some of the potential benefits that you can gain.

The first and most important benefit is minimizing expenses. No matter what type of membership site you create, there is going to be some expenses to deal with, especially when you consider both the creation and management phases separately. In the creation phase a lot of people make the mistake of thinking that they need to purchase an expensive content management system. The truth is that Wordpress has proven itself to be an elite option even though it is free to use. With a strong community of developers it is continually being improved at a rate much faster than most commercial options. This means that your Wordpress membership site will naturally be kept current in terms of online trends simply because of the CMS.

During the creation phase additional expenses, especially related to design, often arise as well. With Wordpress there are a number of free themes that can be used. If you do want to purchase a commercial theme, there is an ever growing number of elite options to choose from as well. The best part is that these themes can be used over and over on multiple membership sites which means a one time investment for a lifetime of rewards on an infinite amount of sites.

Once you have created and launched your Wordpress membership site there are a number of ways that Wordpress helps you minimize your maintenance expenses as well. The primary benefit is that Wordpress is designed to be extremely user friendly. This means that if you hire a staff or outsource your content creation and website management, the training is fairly simple. In fact, most people in the field of content creation and website maintenance are likely to already have experience with Wordpress so the training time will be related only to your specific instructions rather than teaching them how to use an entirely new system. Additionally, because the back end of Wordpress is designed to be fairly minimalistic everything can be done with a few clicks. This means minimum time navigating and using the Wordpress functions.

Along with minimizing expenses, Wordpress can also help you boost your profits. A Wordpress membership site provides you with maximum flexibility which means that you are free to promote your membership in any way that you want. This allows you to connect to your specific market in the most effective way, whatever that may be for your audience. Additionally, with the ever-growing number of plugins available, you can easily add a variety of interactive and social features to your Wordpress membership site with little effort. This will go a long way in retaining members for a longer period of time. Not only does this increase your profits from membership fees, but also gives you more time to monetize each member.
