InstaMember is a piece of software that is designed to integrate with WordPress and allow its users to quickly and easily create membership sites. InstaMember claims to be “the only plug-in that provides everything you need to build a membership site in one place at the push of a button”.
What does the product offer?
InstaMember is a product created by Suzanne Theresia who has had previous success with online marketing with her product InstaBuilder. The product provides you with the InstaMember WordPress plug in and one of 3 licences that allow access for one web site, unlimited web sites or a developers licence which allows you to sell on the product in the form of websites constructed for others. On top of this users also gain access to InstaTheme light (a product that comes ready made to modify InstaMember and was developed hand in hand with it), The Magic of InstaMember, a step by step manual that talks you through the creation process and finally, you get access to Eric Louviere’s Membership secrets.
How does the product work?
The product “plugs in” to WordPress. This then allows you to efficiently modify an existing WordPress website into a membership site which utilises subscribers rather than traditional methods of generating revenue through internet marketing. The product is designed to work “out of the box” with a number of existing payment gateways including but not limited to PayPal, Warrior Plus and JVZoo. It is also the first product to be fully integrated with the new digital marketplace Deal Guardian.
What is the initial investment?
The product is currently available for the price of $47 to run the software on a single domain. It is $97 to run it on an unlimited number of domains. If you decide to upgrade having purchased the single license you can choose to upgrade which will only cost you the difference between the package you have already paid for and the upgraded package.
What is the rate of return?
The rate of return depends entirely upon the membership you numbers you end up with. It does not seem inconceivable that a simple website could attract 100 members, each paying $5 per month. This would provide you with $6000 per year but as with any similar set up, the projected income can easily be scaled upwards with the profits growing accordingly.
Conclusion
This is a well-conceived and seemingly well executed product. It ticks all the boxes that it needs to by allowing a complex process to become streamlined and efficient. The fact that it integrates with existing WordPress websites is a huge boon and many users of existing none membership sites will be pleased with this fact. Because InstaMember is linked with many of the larger digital marketplaces including PayPal many users of your website will find this reassuring that they are dealing with a legitimate operation. Final thoughts? This seems to be a product that really knows what it wants to do and sets out to do just that with ruthless efficiency. It is succinctly to the point about what it offers and can do and perhaps most importantly makes it easy for users.
