A lot of people have been asking which membership software to use. If you use WordPress and have Infusionsoft, then the best choice is iMember360. Watch below to see what John Assaraf has to say about iMember360 and its creator Bob Keen.

John Assaraf recently posted a video on YouTube talking about iMember360. John's websitesite, www.praxisnow.com has nearly 130,000 members and has been using iMember360 for over two years. John's site also incorporates a bbPress forum.

I'm sure you have heard of Infusionsoft new trademark policy. It has caused a lot of us to change our names. I wanted to take a minute and show you the new logo for iMember360 (formerly InfuzionWP). Not only is there a new look, but Bob is adding some really exciting new features. He just released the i4W Tracker. I'll add to this post with instructions on how to use it later this week.

 

ResponseFlow also has a new look.  Great work, Bob.


How to add your picture (gravatar) to your comments

By On · 1 Comment · In Tips
gravatar

Someone asked me today how to get their picture by their comments on their WordPress site, so I decided to describe the process in this week's blog.

To add a gravatar to your comments or beside your name in WordPress:

http://en.gravatar.com/site/signup

Enter you email address
Check your email and click the link in the email they send you.

Choose your Gravatar username, using only lowercase letters and numbers.
Choose a password

On the next page,  click add an image by clicking here.

Select a file on your hard drive or an image online
You can upload any size image file from your hard drive. They will automatically resize large images so you may upload the best quality version you have.

Crop if you need to, or just click crop and finish.

Choose a rating for your image

That's it.  :)

Question:

  • My email address is already in use, but I never signed up

    Gravatar.com and WordPress.com share the same user database. It's possible that you registered a WordPress.com account (either for a blog or for an Akismet API key,) which automatically now gives you a Gravatar.com account. If you use your WordPress.com password to log in you should experience no problems using Gravatar. If you cannot remember that password you may use the forgotten password link on the login page to reset your password.

Which Membership Software to Use with Infusionsoft?

Looking for a membership software to use with Infusionsoft?

With several good choices of membership software, which do you choose?

iMember360 (formerly infuzionWP) and CustomerHub only work with Infusionsoft.  WishList will work with several different CRMs or Shopping Carts.

Here is a list I am putting together. (and yes, those are affiliate links)

  • iMember360 and WishList are WordPress plugins. So you must use WordPress.
  • CustomerHub can be WordPress or a regular website, but you must host on CustomerHub servers. Which means if you leave CustomerHub, you leave your site.
  • iMember360 and CustomerHub both have invoice/credit card capabilities, although CustomerHub is more visual appealing out of the box. iMember360 can bewith a little CSS style formatting.
  • WishList is a onetime fee, CustomerHub and iMember360 are monthly.
  • WishList and CustomerHub have periodic updates, iMember360 has weekly updates.
  • WishList and aMember use a cron job to sync with Infusionsoft. iMember360 and CustomerHub uses a call to the API.
  • If you are going to update credit cards on your website, you need an SSL certificate with Wishlist or iMember360. iMember360 does have a shortcode that will automatically login to the ClientLogin feature of Infusionsoft to allow the member to update their credit card. CustomerHub takes care of that for you on secure servers.
  • WishList is a onetime fee ($97 one domain; $297 unlimited domains).
  • CustomerHub has a basic and pro version ($59 or $79 monthly) Difference is video hosting and Member Filebox.
  • iMember360 offers a Free and Full version ($37 monthly/ $370 annually). The free version is VERY basic. It has no eCommerce features and limited shortcodes. I would recommend just going ahead and buying the full version and using their 30 day no question asked refund policy if you aren't happy with it.


What did you say?

I recently saw this short video, and it illustrates very clearly just how important your words really are.  How you present your content is as important as the content itself.

Just something to contemplate as you are designing your membership site.


Prevention is Better than a Cure

Four words I hate hearing, "My site was hacked!".

You have worked hard getting your WordPress site just the way you want it. It is running smoothly, then you check one day, and OH, NO!!!! It's been hacked. You try logging in, NO, the password has been changed! What do you do?????

If you have a backup, you simply delete the old WordPress account, set up a new WordPress account and import your backup. Could take less than 30 minutes.

If you don't have a backup, well, you need more help than I have time to write in this blog post.

So, you're reading this, and thinking, "Hmm, I don't have a backup, what should I do?"

Infusionsoft Consultants offers a WordPress Backup and upgrade package for only $75.

That includes:

  • backing up the WordPress application and the SQL database
  • checking all the plugins,
  • updating the plugins,
  • making any minor tweaks needed.
  • sending you the backup files for your safe keeping or we can upload them to an online storage for you.

If you don't want to spend $75, search for Wordpress backup and follow the directions for backing up your WordPress application.

Don't put off today, what could save you a lot of time tomorrow!


What is InfusionWP?

infuzionwp

InfusionWP is a plugin for WordPress that allows you to harness the power of Infusionsoft and use that to turbo charge your website! It turns an ordinary WordPress site into a full featured membership site!

Using the Infusionsoft API, this plugin puts your site on auto-pilot by using Infusionsoft order forms, actions and action sets, triggers, etc. giving you have a trouble-free operation, requiring little or no work on your part. No other plug in comes close in terms of features.  Each login is based on real time Infusionsoft data. There is no cron job involved. The 238 built in shortcodes allow you to customize your website and offer individualized content based on the tags within Infusionsoft.

InfusionWP license (monthly):  $47

InfusionWP license (yearly): $470

Includes:  7 video tutorials, easy complete start up guide, free Users Conference coming soon to the US.

Comments: No other plug in comes close to InfusionWP!  This plugin was built specifically FOR Infusionsoft. The other software companies built their plugin as an afterthought to integrate with Infusionsoft. Once that plug in was built, they went on to other things. Not so with InfusionWP, they have added 12 new features just since May! InfusionWP stays current with upgrades within Infusionsoft and changes to the API. Here is an example of their excellent support: Let's say you have an idea that would make the application even better. Something that you want to provide for your membership. You email that to support. InfusionWP support reviews your request and agrees it would be a good addition to the plug in. They build it into the plug in and release it in the next release. (No charge to you!). Ahh, but I hear you. You can't think of a great idea right now. Well, that is part of the magic of InfusionWP. While you might not have a great new idea (this time), several of the other 500 InfusionWP users did. You get the benefit of their ideas!! (Again, at no extra charge!)

I guess you can see, this is by far my favorite plug in! Check out the features after you register for the test drive.

If you have Infusionsoft, if you have WordPress, then you must get InfusionWP!!

New features are being added monthly.

I want to take InfusionWP for a test drive
