"I have to tell you. This is the BEST, most amazing freakin’ course I’ve ever seen on how to do this. I’ve been struggling with this for months and you explain it so well and make it look so easy it’s unbelievable. Thank you. Standing ovation for sure!"
- R. Santarossa
It's time to stop HOARDING that PLR content on your computer and finally MONETIZE IT with your very own membership e-commerce site
Your PLR membership provides you with access to incredible content, but selling e-books through one-off sales can lead to unpredictable income. Building a membership site that you have full control over, complete with e-commerce functionality and a shopping cart, will allow you not only to sell single purchase products, but also gives you the ability to have members join on a recurring monthly basis to access your products and content.
If you ever considered building your own membership site, now is the best time to start one! This is the perfect course for you to explore the WooCommerce e-commerce system, membership and subscriptions plugins, and get a full understanding of their functionality.
Comprehensive Step-By-Step Training From Start To Finish
Shortcut the complicated stuff. Avoid costly mistakes and stress!
This master class training will take you through the process of setting up a membership site using WordPress and WooCommerce. We'll be using a mixture of free and paid plugins that will set you up with a solid foundation that is flexible, customizable, and robust with industry-standard e-commerce functionality.
The training includes over 5.5 hours of quality video content, including over the shoulder style videos that allow you to see me doing the actions – not just talk about them. I also include checklists and code snippets for WooCommerce customizations that we go through to make your site's checkout purchase experience streamlined for a membership product.
If you're completely new to website setup and design, a site setup walk-through is included in this training for those who have never setup a site before and need step-by-step instruction. I assume that you have limited or no background knowledge on site setup, and walk you through all of the setup steps so nothing is left to guessing. I will be taking you through all of the basic setup from choosing a site name, finding hosting, and setting up WordPress. However, the focus of this training is on WooCommerce and membership setup. There are a lot of features in WordPress and plenty of training out there on how to use it, so I only touch on the basics and don't go too in-depth into WordPress core features training. If you are brand new to WordPress... I am excited for you! You're going to be amazed at what you can build with it and how easy it is to use. In order to not leave you in the dark, I do link to free resources and further video training (separate from this course) you can watch to learn about the features of WordPress.
Other services are also covered in this training. I'll be showing you how to host files with Amazon AWS (S3), as well as accept credit card payments with both PayPal and Stripe, various tools for content syndication, setting up social media and advertising on Facebook.
Who is this master class for?
- Individuals with a library of PLR content that is waiting to be monetized but not sure how to set up a site to do so
- PLR content owners wanting to create a WordPress membership site, but are not sure how to properly set things up
- Individuals or businesses wanting to add value to their websites with a membership layer
- Individuals looking for a recurring monthly revenue stream
- Individuals looking for ways to syndicate their content to bring in organic traffic
- Individuals curious about Facebook Ads and how to use them to market their site content
What are the requirements?
- You will need a domain name and shared WordPress hosting (I go through various options for this in the training)
- WooCommerce Plugin (FREE)
- Amazon AWS account (FREE)
- PayPal and/or Stripe account (FREE)
- Have PLR content to use in your membership site
- A Facebook and Twitter account (for the social media and Facebook Ads sections)
- The willingness to invest the time it takes to build out a membership site (which will be much faster now that you have the shortcut with this video training!)
- OPTIONAL: This course can be used with any membership platform for WordPress. However, in Module 03 there is a video showing a full site setup walk-through and I use WooCommerce - which is the system I recommend for e-commerce. We use the WooCommerce Membership Plugin and WooCommerce Subscriptions Plugin in this demo. The plugin files are not included with the course, however I do mention a resource you can use to download these premium plugins for FREE.
- OPTIONAL: If you are looking to secure your Amazon S3 files from hotlinking, the WooCommerce Amazon S3 Storage plugin is mentioned in this training. The plugin is not included, but can be purchased separately ($29).

Formatting and inputting PLR content into your WordPress site is tedious, and this plugin will help fix that problem and will not only save you time, but it will put an end to your formatting frustrations.

-
How quickly do I get access to the training? Once you complete your payment, you will be brought to a page with instant access to the base training. The videos can be streamed, as well as downloaded in 1080p HD quality. You also get access to download code snippets for WooCommerce, and other downloads. The advanced training upgrade means that you get advanced training modules as they are added. I plan to add them prior to the public launch in January. You will get all the upgrade videos included at no extra cost.
-
What is included in the package?
You get access to a comprehensive video training course with downloadable video files in 1080p Full HD quality. You will also be able to stream the videos on a private page after you complete your purchase, so you can start watching the videos right away. It is recommended that you download the videos as soon as possible to ensure you have a copy of your product purchase.
-
Are the WooCommerce plugins included?
No. Unfortunately I am unable to supply you with and support the plugins. The WooCommerce Memberships and WooCommerce Subscriptions plugins need to be purchased separately from this training. It is recommended that you purchase the plugins from the WooCommerce.com website directly so that you get continuous plugin updates and support from the original plugin author.
-
Should I get this if I don't plan on using WooCommerce?
Absolutely, this training covers a lot of material that is relevant to all types of membership websites, not just WooCommerce. Module 03 does include mention of a variety of well-known membership solutions that are built on top of WordPress, including S2Member and Paid Memberships Pro, both of which are free plugins to set up a basic membership site. The rest of the modules can be applied to just about any membership solution out there that is using WordPress!
-
Do I need to have PLR content for this to work?
PLR (Private Label Rights) licensed content allows you the re-purpose and use pre-written articles and e-books on your membership site, put your name and brand on the content, and sell access to the content – keeping 100% of the profits. While you could write content yourself for your membership site, having PLR content will help you kick start your site with a lot of content quickly.
-
What if I don't know how to use WordPress?
WordPress provides many advantages when building a website, including a full content management system, user management, and a whole ecosystem of plugins and add-ons that extend the functionality to give you even more features. A basic understanding of WordPress is expected in order to best utilize this training. However, Module 02 will walk you step-by-step through the process of setting up a WordPress site, and provides links to further free video training resources you can check out to learn more about the features of WordPress.
-
Is this training newbie-friendly?
I have designed this training to be as step-by-step as possible, assuming you have little to no technical knowledge or background. The style of the videos is over-the-shoulder training, meaning that you get to watch me set things up and complete the steps on my computer screen, and can easily follow along. I try my best to avoid technical lingo, confusing abbreviations, or terminology that non-techie people might not understand.
-
Do you demonstrate how to actually build a membership site?
Yes. This training isn’t just theory. I go in detail step-by-step to show you exactly how to set things up. We cover each step in ‘over the shoulder’ style videos. The demonstration site that we set up in Module 03 is built using WooCommerce, WooCommerce Memberships, and WooCommerce Subscriptions, because it allows the most flexibility having a robust and full-featured e-commerce store on your site to provide members with one-time product purchases as well (such as e-books).
-
How much work will this take?
Building a successful business is never turnkey, you need to dedicate time and effort in order to make your business a success. If you’re looking for a turn-key, ready-to-go solution that is already built for you, then this training is not for you. This training will make the process of setting things up much faster and easier since I’ll be showing you all the shortcuts and tips that has taken me many years to perfect, but you should expect to spend roughly 5-6 hours to fully complete this training.
-
Will this training be updated over time as technology changes/evolves?
If there are any updates or new videos added to the training in the future, you will be able to access them via your download page at no additional cost. All future updates are included with your purchase.
-
Are there any upsells required to get the full value?
There are no upsells or OTO’s in this offer. All the requirements are listed on this sales page. The WooCommerce plugins are only needed if you plan to build a WooCommerce site following the demonstration in Module 03. However, there are free plugin alternatives that I’ll be mentioning in the course as well.
-
Can you work through this course at your own pace?
Yes, absolutely! The course is video-based and not drip-fed. All videos and materials can be downloaded to your computer, so you can go through everything as quickly or slowly as you wish. Take your time, there’s no rush!
-
How much time is required to go through all of the videos?
There is around 5.5 hours of content in the course. So I would give yourself 6-8 hours to go through the course and set up a base site.
-
How long is the material available for?
Since all the material is downloadable to your computer, you can download the files and keep them forever.You’ll have access to the training page for as long as the program is available. I plan to continue upgrading and adding to this master class, so it should remain up for a long time. If I do plan to take down the download page for any reason, I will be sure to e-mail out to the product updates notification list to let you know. I recommend downloading all of the material once you first access the download page, so you have a copy of the material on your computer to keep forever.
-
If I already have a site, do I need to setup a new site for the membership?
WooCommerce and the other membership plugins I mention, are plugins and not themes. They integrate with almost all modern themes out there. So if you already have a WordPress site setup with a theme that you like, most likely you’ll be able to add the membership and e-commerce elements to it once the plugin is activated.
-
I want a private area on my website for coaching clients, will this training help?
With a membership site, there are a lot of possibilities. You could manually add accounts for your clients and grant them access to a private page or section of your site via the membership system. This is a great idea that was brought up by a buyer of the course, and since I see a lot of coaches buying this course, I plan to make a video that I will add to the training to show exactly how you would set up clients in this scenario.
-
I'm overwhelmed by how much work there might be, should I still buy this?
Setting up a membership site can be daunting. It’s common to be overwhelmed because of how many moving parts there is to set a site up properly. But don’t worry! I’ve kept this training as easy to follow as possible, and focus on making it step-by-step. The videos build on each other in chronological order, so you can go through them one by one at your own pace, and follow along.
-
Can you help me set all of this up?
I’m currently in talks with trusted partners to put together pre-built packages so if you would prefer to pay someone to set everything up for you, I’ll provide contact information for these people who have completed the training and are very knowledgeable with membership site setup.
-
How can I contact you with a question I have?
If you have a question that isn’t answered here, send me an e-mail at [email protected] and I would be happy to help answer it!
Don't miss out on this incredible training program!
