Creating Bundled Content - YourMembers/yourmembers GitHub Wiki

You can make great money and attract a lot of users by offering site visitors the opportunity to purchase content individually, based on their interests and needs. But, you can make even more money if you use their interests and needs to create groups of posts, or bundles.

A bundle is a collection of posts you've grouped together. Users can then buy access to all of those posts in a single transaction. These bundles differ from a subscription because bundles have a finite number of posts. However, bundles can be purchased more than once, and users can purchase more than one at a time, so it's possible for a user to have access to multiple bundles, as well as a single subscription.

Before you can create bundles, you'll need to decide which posts will be included in the bundle and make them "purchasable". To do this, toggle the hide bundle option and tick the purchasable option, but don't set a price. You can associate each with a membership role, if you'd like.

Access Control Settings -> Bundles

Next, create a new bundle and give it a unique name, description, and price.

Next, if you click the posts button, you'll be able to associate purchasable posts with the bundle. Choose the posts you want and save it.

You can then generate a button. The easiest way to do this is to add a shortcode to the post that will generate the button for you. The shortcode for this is [ym_ppp_pack#1] where "1" is the bundle number.

Want to change the look of the button? You can do that inside YM, too. Just go to "Settings", then "Messages".

Here are just a few ways you can use this feature to make sales and serve up content:

Supporting or additional content that fits in well with a course you offer.

Sell empty bundles and drip feed the content. Excellent for small courses and selling additional resources.

Sell more by offering a volume discount. So, it might cost £20 to buy posts individually, but you can sell bundles of four for £60, and an annual subscription of 12 posts for £120. So, the more a user buys, the more he/she saves. You can hit multiple price points, and encourage people to buy in for longer.

Gives you the ability to segment the information you offer so that you can then target smaller segments within your target audience.
