The New amProtect Plugin Allows aMember and Wordpress to "Talk" So You Can Create Customers-Only Content on the Fly!
If you sell digital products through aMember, then you'll find amProtect to be particularly helpful in delivering post-purchase information to your customers -- and to ONLY your customers.
amProtect is perfect for:
Providing additional tutorials and training to people who purchase your products.
Delivering bonus reports and articles to purchasers of a particular product.
Offering "surprise bonus" reports to new customers.
Every product in aMember has a unique product ID. By using amProtect, you can get Wordpress and aMember to "talk" to each other using the product ID.
Here's how it works:
First, install and configure the amProtect plug-in in your Wordpress blog. Then, when you write a new page or post, select the unique product from a list of all of your aMember products. Save your work.
Once this is done, only customers who've purchased the product associated with the unique product ID you've selected will be able to view the page or post.
If the purchase of more than one product should trigger access to the content you're protecting, you can select multiple products on your post or page to give different groups of customers access to it.
Example:
Let's say you've created a series of blog posts that demonstrate how to use a software program you sell. You only want customers of this software program to see or have access to your instructional blog posts.
So... if your software is called "My Software," then you would check the box next to "My Software" in the list of all of your aMember products when creating your customers-only Wordpress posts.
Until somebody purchases "My Software," they will not be able to see or read your tutorials. Although they WILL be able to see the "teasers" when they search your blog or go to your categories page.
Good news! Search engines will be able to "see" and index your teaser copy, too. If you craft really compelling teaser copy, you may be able to bring in new customers who want to get access to your customers-only content!
So let's recap what amProtect can do...
Gives you the ability to protect individual posts and pages so they are only accessible to customers who've purchased a certain product(s) through aMember.
Allows you to create mutually exclusive protected content. (There is no group hierarchy to worry about.)
amProtect is a Wordpress plugin so it is very easy to install. No additional Wordpress or aMember plugins are required to make this work.
Think about it... if you "reel in" just one new customer as a result of the teaser copy you write for your customers-only content, you will have paid for this plugin and then some.

P.S. So long as your customers are logged into their primary aMember account, they will automatically be able to access all customers-only content they qualify for. There are no additional passwords to worry about -- a huge time saver for you!
