What Is A Member Link?

With so many websites all fighting for the same pool of viewers and users, many are now creating resisted pages.

These pages will contain extra content which is only shown to those who have approved access by becoming members. 

This is done by adding a member link. The member link is only available to those who have the correct login and have been approved by the website owner. 

MemberSpace is the provider of the member link which can then be embedded into your website or appear as a pop-up to prompt users to sign up and become a member of your site to view restricted content. 

Member Link Pop Up 

Adding a member link as a pop-up feature can easily be done.

The popup will automatically show up as a “Your Account” link when members are logged in, allowing them to change their email, view bills, amend their credit card information, cancel their subscriptions, etc.

A pop-up link can be added to any page on your membership site, and here is how: 

Adding To The Sites Navigation

• Click “Customize” on the top navigation of MemberSpace > “Integrations” > Click “Squarespace” > “Member Link Options” > scroll down and select “Copy” under “Popup.”
• Ensure you are logged into your Squarespace account. 
• Select ‘Pages’ located on the left menu. 
• Click the + icon which will appear to the right of the Main Navigation heading. 
• Scroll down to the ‘Link’ icon and click. 
• Put any text you choose in the “Link Title” field. (e.g. “Member Login”). Copy what is in the member area, paste it there, and then click “Save.”
• Now, every time someone clicks on the link you just added, your Login form will pop up. You must be on your live website to test this. (not the Squarespace editor).

This is a great way to try out the Member’s Link and see if it is something that appeals to your visitors. 

Adding To Certain Pages 

You can also add a member’s link to a certain page on your beautiful website instead of the site as a whole. 

• Click “Customize” on the top navigation of MemberSpace > “Integrations” > Click “Squarespace” > “Member Link Options” > scroll down and select “Copy” from the “Popup” menu.

• Locate the page you wish to add the pop-up link to. 
• Edit the page content and press one of the + icons to add a new block of content. 
• The popup link can be added using Text, an Image, or a Button.
• Now, every time someone clicks on the link you just added, your Login form will pop up. You must be on your live website to test this. (not the Squarespace editor).

This is a great way to ensure that your users are aware of the member’s link. It is most beneficial to place a members link on your most popular page but as the Home Page. This way it cannot be missed.
