How do you monetize FC?
How do you monetize your fluentCommunity or do you?
Yeah I have one community which I give all my courses, PDFs and mini videos for a 3month,6month,9month subscription ❤️
Ioannis Glossopoulos I charge for admission to the community. Since my sites are new and I want to build up a base, I'm starting new members with a founding member offer for $10, one time fee.
Once things get rolling and there's more value, I'll switch to a monthly subscriber fee.
I'm using Fluent Forms to create a registration page. It's integrated with Stripe for payment. Fluent Forms integrations handle creating the user account, adding a contact to FluentCRM, and with FluentCommunity to provision their member account.
William Beem I was lucky to have a big client base around 3500 people and 750 converted to early adopters in my community with 35€ per 3 month. I have woocomerce subscriptions and fluentcrm pro handles the rest.
William Beem are you using Fluent Forms to charge members? similar to FC demo video. How do you track sales? How about members down/upgrading plans?
Ioannis Glossopoulos congrats on having a builtin client base.. but how is woo subscription handling it? From our experieince woo sub and mem is heavy.. either way get those sales 😀
Insta Net There are no other plans, so there are no upgrades/downgrades to track. Right now, I have two small sites. Each has a single plan. Tracking sales is recorded in Fluent Forms entries, FluentCRM, and on Stripe.
I have a space group for free, everything else is part of my business. But my business isn't FC, my business is something else.
In a couple months, I'll have more data on some client projects.
Great question.. time for the community "show & tell"
I recently saw a WPManageNinja video.. could be helpful for beginners, basic sites.. encouraging on how to monetize FC:
Convert Your Community into a Paid Membership Site | FluentCommunity x Fluent Forms x FluentCRM WPManageNinja
I know in this video it includes FluentForms for handling subscription payments.. but checkout next post from WPTuts. He recently made vid about FluentCart integration instead
