Hello, We have been searching hi and low for a system that can drip feed as we call it to our customers. Here is the scenario that many membership site owners face. "Sally purchases our monthly membership and goes into our members area and downloads all of our content and software, then promptly quits our service because she has all of our stuff and feels that she doesn't need whatever is coming in the future or whatever...she is dishonest basically." What we would like is to stop or at least curb this behavior and only allow Sally to get the current content on the site and then she will receive new content/products as they become available. She will NOT have access to prior months/years content/products unless she pays extra. We would like to reward long standing members with knowing that they are getting exclusive content and products because they joined early. Please let me know if your system has this ability and if it doesn't, is it in the works? Or if you know something that does this. We are only interested in this one feature...the rest is just icing. Thanks Rod
re: Membership Drip Feeds Your members will be basically honest, if you provide content that is quality, compelling, and regularly updated then users will not do this. The problem comes with how this individual was marketed. If you want to charge more for older content, then use a different membership level -- aMember supports that. You'll setup a different level of protection for the other areas. This could mean you structure your site with the latest 90 days of materials in one directory, the remaining in another. You'll need to have membership level X to get just current materials and level Y to get archival materials. To upgrade longstanding members you'll need to add-on a script to upgrade accounts older than a certain time to the next membership level. However, you'll be better to reward them with a special offer that requires them to take action (their involvement keeps them interested in using the program.) Best, Justin
