Is thre a membership site plug in/software that can do this?

Paul,

This may be able to do it for you:

Easy Member Pro - Features

Hi,

I may not be an expert in creating membership sites and so on, but I do know that if I want something "customized", there is Elance?

Paul - DAP (Digital Access Pass) should do everything you want and more.

Well I sent messages to Help Desks at Memberspeed and DAP - both of which I like the look of. Memberspeed got back to me within an hour,....still no response from DAP.

Got response from DAP - they have edged into the lead!

But willing to consider any other suggestions?

Paul,

(Sent this to you via email earlier, but posting it here for the benefit of the Warriors)

Yes, DAP can do all of this, including the "backwards dripping" that you asked about in your email (love that name btw! Should add it to our features list - "NEW: DAP does Backwards Dripping!" lol)

>>I need to have the facility to enable current subscribers to be able to access the PDF newsletter from when they subscribed<<
For this, all you need to do is to make the dripping "date" on the PDF link, to be an actual date (like 05-01-2012), in which case only those who join on or after 05-01-2012 will be able to access the file, and not those who joined before. So you don't need to do this manually - DAP takes care of automating that for you.

>>If they want access to earlier issues of the PDF newsletter I need to have the facility to enable that for them in return for an additional payment.<<
Every time you add the latest newsletter to drip via "date", you would also add it to a separate product, so that people can buy just that newsletter by itself.

Or to simplify things for yourself, you can just create one product called "Newsletter Archives" and add all PDF's to it (while also dripping it by date as part of your main product), and make this archives product as a recurring subscription product which people can pay a recurring fee for access.

At DAP, we call it the "Magazine Subscription" model (see link below):

>>I actually need to do the opposite - so that people who joined say in 2011 have access to everything AFTER their join date.<<

Yes, that's exactly how the magazine model works in DAP.

If you had set up a PDF to drip, say, on 03-01-2011, then those who join on or after that date, will get access to that PDF, and anything else whose drip "date" is set to a date after they've joined.

I think we might be saying the same thing differently. But if I have missed your point, please elaborate with an example.

Thanks,

Hi Bloggerkhan,

Just an FYI to you and anyone else who's using the Butterfly Marketing Script, and wants to upgrade to something that works with WordPress, or you're just looking for more power for your membership site...

Mike Filsaime, the creator of the Butterfly Marketing Script (and also a very good friend) himself recommends DigitalAccessPass (DAP). We've proudly displayed his testimonial on our home page, if you wish to check it out.

Cheers!

Hey Paul, thanks for your thread - I had a lot of similar questions initially, which have now been answered by everyone here, so thanks again.

I have 2 questions for Ravi if you don't mind.

Ravi,

With DAP, could someone set up three memberships: let's say Free, Standard, and Advanced, with Standard and Advanced having the content dripping features (from the date of the member subscribing onwards), and have Free and Standard be the only options available to choose on the home page - then redirecting members to 2 slightly different OTOs for the Advanced membership upgrade?

If so, can the upgraded membership replace those two options if the members decide to upgrade (i.e. automatically delete the free account and only pay for the Advanced, or delete the Standard account and no longer pay say $9.99 a month, but instead pay $29.99 a month?

I am worried that I'd need to charge the person twice - $9.99 and $20 a month to get to the original Advanced payment option of $29.99 a month, which could get a bit tedious.

Thanks in advance for your response.

I was looking at Premise 2.0, from copyblogger. It looks like it does exactly what you're looking for.

I use Wishlist member they are great i have them on a bunch of membership sites it's cheap and works great (it's a wordpress plugin)

Wishlist has the same type of setup inside their own members area. Each month they give away a bonus plugin and you only have access to the plugins that were made available during the months you were a paid member.

Look into their software, I'd imagine this is available since they use it in their site.

Give a shot at aMember Pro, this may be help you in.

Thank you for the response to my post Ravi!

I think you need aMember Pro, it's a web application, Google it, and discover it's amazing features

S2members plugin is great if you are looking for a free plugin on wordpress that does this. Its a little complicated to get the hang of but once its up and running its great.
