    How can I add a style guide (a .pdf) to my blog (which is behind my paywall)? Can you answer (& post a how to video)? MANY THANKS!!!

      I would suggest using a simple link to the .pdf file. You can do this either as a standard text based link or add the link to an image (if you have a mockup of your pdf, for example). Then when adding the link choose 'file' instead of 'URL'. When someone clicks on the link your .pdf file will open. You can see a brief tutorial for adding links in the current link editor format at 4:31 in this video: ua-cam.com/video/f_20hCUaIZk/v-deo.html

    Thanks for the video!
    I was interested in charging a one time members fee (for my membership price structure) and making certain video collections available for purchase a la carte behind a paywall, but it doesn’t look like this is possible. I tried to add a paywall to a video collection but was given a message: “This video collection is currently monetized as part of a member site. To sell this video collection individually, first remove it from the member site, then add a pricing plan”. Does this mean that everything lumped under my member site is available across the board to members (based on whatever pricing plan I choose)? In other words, there is no way to have additional paid content under a membership fee? Hope this makes sense :-)

      @dkdluxe Thanks for your question. I believe that is correct based on the current membership model. Once you have content within a membership it is subject to the membership pricing structure you set up (in this case your one time fee) and anyone who has paid that fee and is a member will have access to it.

    Anyone figure out how to edit the paywall page?

      The editing for the paywall page is pretty limited. I cover that starting around 7:54 in the video. Is there something more specific that you are looking to do/edit with that page that you didn't find in the video?

    What is the difference between a paywalled blog vs. course? SS charges for courses, so what are you getting for that option?

      There's quite a lot of difference actually, depending on your use case. Courses have a lot more flexibility and features than a paywalled blog. I'm going to shout out a great creator in this space -Rache from SquareStylist. She made a thorough video covering courses when they launched last year I think you may find very helpful in answering your questions that I'm linking to here: ua-cam.com/video/D7dGEd27ufY/v-deo.htmlsi=DDqORMyPCOlj6QjO

    How could I make a paywall work for audio meditation content?

    • @floatinglotusdesign
      @floatinglotusdesign  3 місяці тому +1

      Excellent question! One option could be to create a video collection and turn the audio into videos to share your meditations (could be as simple as having a still image or video loop play over the audio). If you host those videos on vimeo or youtube (like an unlisted playlist) you can embed them easily. Another option would be to use a blog collection and write a short intro post about each meditation and share a link to the audio wherever it is hosted. Hope that helps!
