Members Area: How it works and what you can do with it | Q&A #42

This is ‘s virtual space to host your content and offer it to your students.

Do you know when a person buys your course and receives the access data to the classes? Well, precisely, you will enter the members area!

The idea is that it is an environment that provides the best possible experience for students and that has resources so that you can track their performance, as well as create materials, and much more.

What advantages does Club have?

The first is that you only pay when you sell. On the other hand, using it is very easy! This means that you do not need technical knowledge or a team to host your content, but rather you have autonomy to work on your own.

That’s right, everything ready to sell in a few clicks! And there are still more:

1. Own Video Player

Offer your students the best experience using the Video Player for your video classes. In addition to being a complete streaming solution, the Video Player has:

• Possibility of introducing automatic translation and subtitles in various languages. If you work with EAD, you can sell your course anywhere in the world!
• Possibility of customizing the layout, which allows you to leave your Members Area with the colors of your brand, use the logo of your product, and many more possibilities.

4. Sell again to those who are already your students

In the Members Area, you will find solutions that give you the opportunity to sell again to someone who is already your student. This means that you can offer another product or extra content to those who already trust you because they have bought from you before.

To facilitate this sale even more, the student can buy with just one click in the same study environment. And the best thing about this is that you do not have to pay anything to make this type of ad.

5. Free registration

Another interesting feature of Club is the free registration. Using this resource, you can offer part of your content for free to leads that have already shown interest in your offer.

You can create a campaign in Adwords or Facebook notifying that you will release some modules of the course for those who register through that link.

When the person signs up, they receive an email with access to your Members Area. When you enter the EAD course you will be able to view all the available classes, but you will only have access to those that you have previously determined.

If after watching the free videos the user decides to buy the full course, they can do so in the Members Area itself.

The process has been designed to prevent the person from having to leave the page and, along the way, forgetting the main objective, which is to make the purchase.

6. Quiz

Quiz is a fundamental tool in EAD courses to evaluate the progress of your students in each module, having the possibility of defining a minimum grade in percentage.

In addition to evaluating your students, you will have the opportunity to know which are the topics that generate the most doubts for your students and it may be the opportunity to create strategic questions and draw the profile of your buyers.

7. Assignment of functions

Through this functionality, you determine the users who can intervene in your Members Area, but without having access to the billing data of your account.

For example, you can distribute functions among the people in your team when necessary.

8. Certification
