Need to create a paid newsletter in WordPress without using Substack?<\/span><\/p>\n

Paid newsletters are a smart way to make online money from your email subscribers. However, using a platform like Substack can be very costly.<\/span><\/p>\n

This tutorial will step-by-steply share how to create a paid newsletter in WordPress.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Create a Paid Newsletter in WordPress?<\/span><\/h4>\n

Paid email newsletters like Substack are getting very popular and successful in making money online. They are like regular email newsletters, with exclusive premium content only for paying subscribers.<\/span><\/p>\n

A paid newsletter can be a standalone online business or another income source for your WordPress website.<\/span><\/p>\n

By making your own paid email newsletter, you can directly earn profit from your writing while raising a connection with your readers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, using a platform like a substack can be a big budget.<\/span><\/p>\n

Substack also takes 10% of all your earnings, so you end up paying more and more over time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Creating a paid newsletter on your WordPress website can help you to avoid paying high fees and hold on to more of your earnings for yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n

The benefit of using WordPress is that it is fully customizable and scalable, so you can only put money into the features you need.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Plus, it gives you more control over your newsletter design, subscriber experience, and much more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s move ahead to create a paid newsletter in WordPress.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 1: Sign Up for an Email Service Provider<\/span><\/h4>\n

First, you have to start your paid email newsletter is an email marketing service provider to gather email addresses and send emails to your subscribers.<\/span><\/p>\n

For creating a paid email newsletter, we suggest using\u00a0<\/span>ConvertKit<\/span><\/a>. It’s an email marketing platform for authors, bloggers, and marketers. It is easy to use and has all the features you’ll require to create a paid email newsletter.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

First, you have to visit the\u00a0<\/span>ConvertKit website<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and click on the ‘Get started for free’ tab to sign up for a plan.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Enter your business details and then provide an email address and password. Then click the ‘Get Started’ tab.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Keep this screen on because you will need your account details later below.<\/span><\/p>\n

Note:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0This tutorial will work with other email marketing platforms as well, such as\u00a0<\/span>Constant Contact<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>Drip<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>MailChimp<\/span><\/a>, etc. But we are taking ConvertKit as our example.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 2: Add up Membership Functionality to Your Email Newsletter<\/span><\/h4>\n

Once signing up for an email marketing service, next, you have to choose a way to process payments and add up premium membership functionality to your email newsletter.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ConvertKit has an in-built way to create a premium newsletter and accept payments, which is only available on the Creator Pro plan that costs much more than the regular plan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That’s why we suggest using a separate WordPress membership plugin since it removes the extra transaction fees and provides you the flexibility to sell other digital goods like eBooks, courses, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

To set up memberships in WordPress, we suggest using\u00a0<\/span>MemberPress<\/span><\/a>. It’s the finest WordPress membership plugin that allows you to sell newsletter subscriptions on your site.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To start, install and activate the MemberPress plugin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can see our step-by-step tutorial on\u00a0<\/span>how to install a WordPress plugin<\/span><\/a>\u00a0for more details.<\/span><\/p>\n

After activation, visit the\u00a0<\/span>MemberPress<\/span><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0\u00bb Settings<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0and click the ‘License’ menu to enter your license key.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can find this license key under your MemberPress account.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After placing your license key, click on the ‘Activate License Key’ tab.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, set up a method to receive payments.<\/span><\/p>\n

MemberPress provides several popular payment gateways such as Authorize.net, PayPal, Stripe, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

To add a payment method, visit\u00a0<\/span>MemberPress \u00bb Settings<\/span><\/strong>, click the ‘Payments’ button and then click the ‘Plus’ tab.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now, enter a name for the payment method, and then select your payment gateway from the drop-down.<\/span><\/p>\n

It will ask you to enter the details of that payment method.<\/span><\/p>\n

For instance, for PayPal payments, you have to enter your PayPal email.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you want, You can add multiple payment methods for your subscribers.<\/span><\/p>\n

For that, click on the ‘Plus’ icon and follow the similar process as above.<\/span><\/p>\n

After adding the payment options, click the ‘Update Options’ tab to save your changes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 3: Create a Paid Email Subscription Plan and Sign Up Page<\/span><\/h4>\n

After setting up the plugin, you must create a paid subscription plan for your subscribers. For this, you have to create a membership level in MemberPress.<\/span><\/p>\n

Head over to\u00a0<\/span>MemberPress \u00bb Memberships<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0and click on the ‘Add New’ tab.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On the next screen, you have to give a name to your membership plan and set up the price into the ‘Membership Terms’ meta box.<\/span><\/p>\n

After creating a membership level, a sign-up page will be automatically created. So, the name you used for this page will show up when your users are about to sign up.<\/span><\/p>\n

We have named the plan ‘Premium Subscription’ and set up the price to $5 per month for this article.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The MemberPress plugin gives you complete control over the membership details. You can adjust the price, payment terms, duration, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Generally, most premium email newsletters charge monthly, but you can choose to use ‘Recurring’ or ‘One-time’ billing. You can select weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually, or custom intervals for reoccurring payments.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, You can set a free trial period so that your subscribers can test your newsletter before they choose to buy.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can customize your membership plan even more, using the provided options in the ‘Membership Options’ box under the post editor.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Although the default settings perform well for most cases, if you want, you can still review them to adjust according to you.<\/span><\/p>\n

We suggest looking over the ‘Enable custom thank you page message’ option.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then, choose the ‘Enable custom thank you message’ radio tab.<\/span><\/p>\n

After that, you will find a drop-down where you can type a custom thank you message for your users. You can also redirect subscribers to a custom thank you page.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, click on the ‘Publish’ tab to save your membership plan.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some users may want to create a completely customized registration page for their email subscribers. This helps you create an attractive design that will convert more visitors into customers and subscribers.<\/span><\/p>\n

For creating a custom sign-up page, you can use a SeedProd, drag and drop page builder. It is easy to use and is available in\u00a0<\/span>the free version<\/span><\/a>\u00a0also.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You can see our tutorial on how to create a landing page with WordPress<\/a> for more details.<\/span><\/p>\n

To add your registration form to a\u00a0<\/span>SeedProd<\/span><\/a>\u00a0landing page, you must use the shortcode to display your sign-up form.<\/span><\/p>\n

 [mepr-membership-registration-form id=\"6492\"]<\/span><\/pre>\n
You have to replace the ID with your membership page ID. You can find it in the URL for your page.<\/span><\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Another option you must consider is making your sign-up page the homepage of your WordPress site. This is great if your website’s purpose is only to get sign-ups for your paid newsletter.<\/span><\/p>\n
For this, visit\u00a0<\/span>Settings \u00bb Reading<\/span><\/strong>. Then, click the ‘A static page’ radio tab.<\/span><\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Then, select your page from the ‘Homepage’ drop-down menu.<\/span><\/p>\n
After that, click the ‘Save Changes’ tab at the bottom of the page.<\/span><\/p>\n
Now, your visitors will notice your premium newsletter sign-up form right at the moment they land on your site.<\/span><\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 4: Connect ConvertKit with MemberPress in WordPress<\/span><\/h4>\n
After creating a membership plan and registration page, you now have to connect ConvertKit to MemberPress so that your new members or users will be automatically added to your email list.<\/span><\/p>\n
For that, you will need the ConvertKit addon. You can download it from your\u00a0<\/span>MemberPress website<\/span><\/a>\u00a0account by logging into your account and clicking the ‘Download’ button.<\/span><\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Now, scroll down to find ‘ConvertKit’ and click it to download the addon.<\/span><\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Then, you have to install and activate the addon in the same way you installed the MemberPress plugin.<\/span><\/p>\n
After that, visit\u00a0<\/span>MemberPress \u00bb Settings<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0and click the ‘Marketing’ button, and then check the box next to ‘Enable ConvertKit.’<\/span><\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Then, you have to place your API key in the drop-down menu. You will find it inside your account settings on your ConvertKit website.<\/span><\/p>\n
In addition, you can also select a tag from the ‘ConvertKit Tag’ drop-down menu. This will automatically tag new subscribers who will sign up for your premium newsletter.<\/span><\/p>\n
After that, click the ‘Update Options’ tab.<\/span><\/p>\n
Now your users can sign up for your premium email newsletter.<\/span><\/p>\n
When they sign up and complete their subscription, they will be automatically added to your list in\u00a0<\/span>ConvertKit<\/span><\/a>, where you can forward your premium newsletter.<\/span><\/p>\n
Profitable Premium Newsletter in WordPress<\/span><\/h4>\n
The benefit of using WordPress and MemberPress to make your premium newsletter is that you do not depend on a single email marketing platform.<\/span><\/p>\n
In this tutorial, we suggested\u00a0<\/span>ConvertKit<\/span><\/a>\u00a0since it has great automation features and has good email deliverability.<\/span><\/p>\n
However, this tutorial will work with other email marketing platform that integrates with MemberPress, such as\u00a0<\/span>Constant Contact<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>Drip<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>MailChimp<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>AWeber<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>GetResponse<\/span><\/a>, Active Campaign, Keap, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n
This method gives you complete flexibility to relish the freedom of WordPress without locking into a single email marketing platform.<\/span><\/p>\n
