WordPress is the big name in online content management systems these days, and with good reason:  the interface is easy to use, can be accessed from anywhere, and allows for the quick production of content. 

Another trend sweeping the online environment is that of paid memberships to valuable websites.  This system allows for the easy access to and dissemination of valuable content and provides not only the benefit of specialized knowledge to the subscribers, but also a handy income source for the producer.The integration of these two models can often be difficult.  You have to deal with plug-ins, member directories, instituting recurring payment structures, and a whole bunch of other hassles.  That’s where the MemberLock plug-in from Nanacast comes into play.

The biggest selling point of Nanacast’s MemberLock is the first feature you’ll notice:  it works directly “out-of-the-box.”  No fiddling with databases, no modifying your painstakingly designed theme, nothing.  The next big selling point is that the MemberLock plug-in works with your Nanacast account to completely automate the recurring payments to your subscribers. 

If a subscriber decides to stop paying, then their account in the MemberLock plug-in is automatically disabled.Such a level of systems integration means the supply of new content is the only thing left to get the dollars rolling in.And on the subject of recurring payments, it is easy to establish the payment structure and schedule in the way that suits you.  Want to set up free trial membership for customers who buy one of your other products?Nanacast is able to do it, and nominate specific date ranges for the trial, together with different price points at enrolment.

Last, but certainly not least, is the use of “teasers” in the MemberLock system.  This system allows you to create little teaser sections of your WordPress posts, like the introductory paragraph, and have them accessible to the public.  Then, if the viewer clicks on the “Read More” link, they will be automatically forwarded to your sales letter (with a section for your registered members to log in, of course).  And what shopping cart system will be powering that sales letter?  Nanacast, of course, because this product is one of the first fully integrated delivery and business automation systems ever created.  Whatever you want to do in e-commerce, odds are Nanacast can handle it.
