Tip #42: How to Create a Dynamic Members’ Dashboard for Your Members

The members’ dashboard has a very important purpose: to allow your members to navigate through the membership site quickly and easily.

So the more targeted your membership site’s dashboard is, the faster and easier it will be for your members to find the information they need, and their engagement and overall satisfaction is more likely to increase (and so is the retention rate).

Many of our clients keep asking us how it is possible to create a targeted members’ dashboard that will display information according to each members specifically, and this is exactly what we are going to cover in this tip.

There are 3 options, you can use them both, in order to add extra links and content that is relevant for the Advisors only:
