YourMembers

August 7th, 2009 by M.K. Visit Product Site »

YourMembers provides good value for its price – but not without instability issues.

It’s one of the few membership scripts to let you offer a Pay Per Post option to your subscribers. That way, your subscribers can opt to purchase a single post instead of being forced to become full members in your website.

Ease of Installation and Usage

Installation of YourMembers membership script is very easy. Install it as you would install any other WordPress plugin. YourMembers doesn’t require any modifications to your theme to operate and run. It’s ready out of the box.

Because YourMembers provides you with so many different ways to protect and deliver your content, some people may find its many options and menus confusing. Also, in the early versions we tested, YourMembers suffered from instability problems. It sometimes blocked my entire website and presented visitors with the login/registration page. This bad behavior is a by product of the complexity of the internal workings of YourMembers. These issues have been fixed in the latest releases of the script.

Support

YourMembers developers provide free support on the public forum on their website. There have been cases, however, when they ignored customer requests on the forums.

Money Back Guarantee

14 Days No Quibble Money-Back Guarantee

If you ask for a refund within the first 14-days of purchase, the developer promises to refund your money without any negotiation. Although they may kindly ask for the reason of the refund just for their market research purposes.

Enhanced Money-Back Guarantee

After the initial 14-days, the money back guarantee is extended 76-days. Within this period if you ask for a refund, you’ll have to fill a questionnaire. YourMembers team use your feedback to enhance their product further and solve problems for future buyers.

This effectively gives you a 90-days Money Back Guarantee Period.

Supported Payment Processors

YourMembers allows you to accept payments either via PayPal or ClickBank.

Download Protection

Using YourMembers, you can keep your premium files from being directly accessed by non-members. In other words, members will not be able to share protected download links in public forums and such.

Sequential Content Delivery

With the sequential content delivery in YourMembers, you can create complete courses that are gradually delivered over a period of time. The content of such course would go on pages and posts. YourMembers has this feature built-in and doesn’t require any additional configurations or installations.

Partial Content Protection

In YourMembers, you simply put your premium content within [private] and [/private]. Any content that is wrapped between these two would only be visible to premium subscribers. This gives you great flexibility in picking and choosing the parts of your posts and articles that you can make premium.

Autoresponder, Email Marketing Integration

YourMembers doesn’t specifically provide integration with AWeber or other email marketing providers, but it has the ability to notify 3rd party of transactions happening on your website. Through this mechanism, you could integrate with an email marketing provider or another 3rd party application.

Affiliate Program

If you want other affiliates to promote your membership site while your using YourMembers, you’ll have to use ClickBank. It’s the only readily available affiliate solution in YourMembers.

Protected RSS Feeds

With YourMembers, you can deliver protected content via RSS feeds. Subscribers will be given a protected link from which they can subscribe to your RSS feeds.

Available Membership Levels

You can setup as many membership levels as you feel necessary. YourMembers doesn’t restrict the levels of memberships that you can specify.

Available Licenses and Prices

Single License ($50)

The Single License gives you a full featured YourMembers membership script. The only limitation is the number of websites on which you can install it.

Developer License ($200)

The Developer License removes the restriction on the number of websites. You can install this on as many websites as you like or even on your clients websites, if you’re a web developer.

  1. I have used YM for 10 months and it has problems. I’ve had one question out there for 6 weeks and no answer. I am ready to jump ship and try Wishlist…

    Yes, I have experienced very poor support from YourMembers team as well.

    The software is clunky, buggy and very unusable. I will change this review to warn people against their poor practices.

    I must say that I bought a different yourmember as the guys above. I suggest you go and read the support forum and see how great the support is.

    I am impressed with yourmember and it’s support. There’s nothing around for the same price. I have used more expensive membership products like amember.

    Yourmember is simple to use and effective. You get more than what you’ll pay for.
