Using Custom Registration Fields to Boost Profits

Thursday, September 16th, 2010

By obtaining the right information, you will be able to maximize your income from every member. The key is know what type of information you need to collect and how to segment your membership base. Here is a quick look at how you can use the Magic Members plugin and it’s ability to create custom registration fields in a variety of different locations to increase your monthly profits

Because there are so many different options available, let’s take a quick look at where these custom fields will appear. By knowing where members will see these fields, it will be easier to understand how this information could be important. First, the custom fields can be displayed on the registration page, profile page, or both. Each of these fields will fall into one of three categories: Required, Read Only, and Optional.

1. Utilizing the Profile Section

It has been proven time and time again that the bigger the barrier that you create to registering for your membership site, the more potential members will back out during the registration phase. This means that the more fields of information that they are forced to fill out, the more barriers you are creating. Instead of asking for all of the information that you want on the registration page, you could instead make it part of the profile page. You can even make these fields mandatory so that the first time they edit their profile page (which most people will do immediately), they will be required to fill out all of these fields. By doing this, you minimize the barriers to entry while still collecting all of the data that you want. (more…)
