What are monthly enrolling memberships?

A Monthly Enrolling Membership blocks certain users from accessing previous content based on the month they purchase.

For example, customers purchasing in January will see all content from January and all months moving forward so as long as they continue to pay their recurring subscription. But Members that purchase in February will not have access to the content in January. They will only see content released from February moving forward so long as they continue to pay their subscription.

This model ensures that your Members can only access content that has been made available to them while they have been a paying customer. 

Creating this Membership type utilizes the power of Pipelines, Offers, and Products.

To ensure that your Members can only access content from the month they purchase and on, you will be setting up a new Offer and its corresponding content (i.e., Product) for each month.  

Setting up your monthly enrolling membership

Step 1. Create your monthly products

To create a Monthly Enrolling Membership your monthly content must be held within separate Products. Your Products will be connected to each corresponding Offer to ensure that Members purchasing in a specific month will only receive content from that month onward. 

Create your first Product for the first month you plan to run your monthly enrolling membership.

Learn to create a Product

Prep your membership by creating a new Product for each month you plan to run your monthly enrolling membership:

Step 2. Create your monthly offers

After creating your Product(s), create and edit the corresponding Offers and their Checkout Pages for each month a customer can purchase your Membership.

Learn to Create Offers and edit the Checkout Page.

Key Offer Settings:

• Price: Recurring Subscription
• Automation: When an Offer subscription payment fails. 

With the monthly enrolling membership model, set up your Offers as recurring subscriptions to receive payment on an ongoing basis. 

In the case of a payment failure or canceled payment, use the power of Automations to trigger an action "When an Offer subscription payment failed" and/or "payment canceled":

For example,

• Notify you and/or your team to address the issue with a Send an email automation;
• Revoke access to the Offer;
• Or, deactivate from Offer (discontinue payment & access) if you have Advanced Automations.

After creating your Offers, you should have Offers for each month of your monthly enrolling membership:

Step 3. Create your monthly enrolling pipeline

Streamline your Monthly Enrolling Membership with the Sales Page OVO Pipeline as your main Monthly Enrolling Pipeline.

• Open the Marketing tab from your Dashboard. 
• Click Pipelines.
• Navigate to the top-right corner and click + New Pipeline.
• Select Sales Page OVO and click Create Pipeline.
• Select the Offer for the first month of your membership (e.g., January Offer).
• Click Generate Pipeline:

After generating your Pipeline, rename your Pipeline to an easily identifiable title. This title is only visible internally and will help when managing your monthly enrolling membership.

• In the Pipeline Editor, navigate to the top of the page and click Sales Page OVO.
• Select Rename Pipeline.
• Enter an easily identifiable title for your monthly enrolling membership pipeline (e.g., Monthly Enrolling Membership):

Now that you have set up your monthly enrolling membership, learn to manage your Pipeline and monthly Offers to ensure that access to your content is only available for as long your Member has been paying. 

Managing your monthly enrolling membership

Managing your monthly enrolling membership is the key piece to successfully running this type of membership model.

To manage your monthly enrolling membership, simply update your Pipeline and monthly Offers for each month of your membership.  

Managing your Membership on a monthly basis ensures that your ongoing content is only available to Members from the month your Members begin paying.

Although Kajabi does not have an automated process for this type of model at this time, this is a sustainable, scalable process you can implement for your own business.

Step 1. Edit your pipeline

First, edit your Pipeline to direct customers to the next month's Offer (in this example, the February Offer). This will ensure that your customers purchasing in the next month (e.g., February) will only have access to the February Product.

• Open the Marketing tab from the Dashboard.
• Select your Monthly Enrolling Membership Pipeline.
• Locate the Offer Checkout page.
• Click … in the top-right corner of the card.
• Click Remove.
• Confirm by clicking Remove in the pop-up.
• Hover your mouse on the vertical line below your Sales Page.
• Click + Add Offer.
• Select the Offer for the next month of your membership (e.g., February).
• Click Save to apply:

Step 2. Edit your offer

In this step, edit your previous Offer(s) to include the content (i.e., Product) for the next month of your membership. This will give Members with the previous Offer(s) access to the content for the new month.

• Open the Products tab from the Dashboard.
• Click Offers.
• Select the previous Offer.
• Locate Included Products and click + Add Product.
• Select your next month's Product.
• Select Give this product to existing offer members.
• Click Add product.
• Click Save to keep your changes:

Now every Member that has access to your previous Offer (e.g., January) now has access to your next Offer (e.g., February):

Have multiple previous Offers?

If you have multiple previous Offers, repeat Step 2 for each previous Offer to include the Product for the new month.

For example, if your membership has entered the month of March, your previous Offer(s) should include Products for each month leading up to March:

• Members that began paying in January will now have access to the Products for January, February, and March;
• Members that began paying in February will now have access the Products for February and March;
• And Members that begin paying in March will only have access to the Product for March.
