Tip #12: How and Why You Should Use Wishlist’s Free Pay Per Post Feature

If you are not using the pay-per-post feature yet, you might want to re-consider using it.

I’m guessing you’re already giving away free gifts such as: free report, an eBook, video series etc. to attract new registrations and to increase existing members’ engagement.

So instead of sending these gifts as downloadable products, you can grant access for users to view the content inside your membership site using the free pay-per-post option.

Your free posts can include just about any content you want, from videos, audio lessons, written content and what ever is relevant to your membership site.

The Benefits of Using Free Pay-Per-Post Feature

• Use it as “teaser” content to attract new potential customers
• Give access to specific posts to existing members as bonuses
• Engage members better – Consuming the content inside the site instead of giving a downloadable product will make your members stay longer in the site and will increase the chances of selling them full membership
• Have better control over the content you give away for free – Change it anytime you want, cancel the ability to access the content and see exactly who registered

Free Pay Per Post Feature Setup

You can protect any post or page under the pay-per-post protection by accessing the desired post/ page and going to the Wishlist Member meta box.

Under the “Per User Access” title you need to enable the pay-per-post feature and then allow free registration that opens up right after selecting “yes” in the first option as seen in the screenshot below:

All you need to do is copy and paste the link to the desired location to allow the registration.

Clicking the registration link will redirect the user to a registration form.

Thank You Page Redirection Setup

The Thank You Page setup for the pay-per-post can be done from the “Levels” menu > “Pay Per Post” as seen in the screenshot below:

There are two options to set the redirection to the thank you page:

Option #1: Leave it at the default as defined in Wishlist Member under Settings > Configuration > System Pages > After Registration Page

Option #2: Change the After Registration to your desired page as seen in the screenshot above
