How to Add Someone Manually to Membership Area ClickFunnels

One of the ways to make money with ClickFunnels is through membership. But waiting for a member to sign up to your membership area can be an agonizing time. In addition, you have to take in a lot of factors to make sure that your page will be engaging enough to gather leads.

Fortunately, you don’t have to go through all of these with ClickFunnels because you can manually add a user to the membership area of your funnel. This is also what we are going to talk about for today’s article.

Here, you’ll find a step-by-step tutorial on how you can do the task and some important points that you should remember.

Step 1: Prepare the requirements.

Before we start with the actual process, let us first walk you through the requirements that you will need to prepare. Here is a list that you can use as reference:

• Active ClickFunnels Account
• Membership Funnel for ClickFunnels
• Email Address of Member/s

You probably already have a ClickFunnel account, so we don’t have to worry about that. What you need to check is if you already have a membership funnel and the address that you will use later on in the process.

If you do not have the former yet, then you should first add and create a new one, and ensure that it is modified in the right settings. The latter, on the other hand, can be accessed through lead generation tools and existing subscriptions.

Make sure to notify users that their email will be used in memberships before leading them to provide their information. Doing so will help you prevent coming off as a data-selling website.

 Step 2: Obtain Secret Sign Up URL.

Now, let us move on to the things that you need to do to complete the process at hand. This is where obtaining the secret sign up URL comes in. To do this, here are the steps that you need to follow:

Select desired membership funnel.

To access your existing funnels, head to your ClickFunnels dashboard, click the ClickFunnels tab placed at the top of the page, and select Funnels from the drop-down menu. From there, choose the membership funnel that you want to add members to, and click its name to access its settings.

 Navigate to the Membership Area.

Once the funnel’s page is accessed, navigate to the Membership Area tab on the menu on the left-hand side. This will redirect you to the membership page where you can make edits and modifications.

 Access the Secret Sign Up URL.

On the Membership Area, find the Secret Sign Up URL. This can easily be seen. Highlight the text in the box below it, copy it, and set it aside for now.

Save the link for the next step. There are two kinds of URL that are available on the page: the Login URL, and the Secret Sign Up URL. Make sure that you will be copying the right one, which is the latter, to ensure that we will land on the most efficient results possible.

 Step 3: Access link through incognito.

In this step, we will need the Secret Sign Up URL that you previously obtained from your membership funnel. Open an incognito or private window on your preferred browser, and then paste the URL in the address bar.

If you are not yet familiar with incognito mode, below are two ways that you can do depending on your service provider:

For Mac

If you are using a Mac-powered desktop, you can simply press Command + Shift + N on your keyboard. This will automatically open the incognito window.

 For Windows

Windows, on the other hand, will require you to press Ctrl + Shift + N. Same with Mac, this will also open the incognito window.

If you don’t like shortcuts, you can do it manually by accessing your browser’s settings. Usually, this comes in the form of three vertical dots placed near the address bar. You will be able to see the command for “New Incognito Window” from there. This is applicable no matter the service provider.

 Step 4: Register an account using the member’s address.

Once you have a ready-to-access incognito window, we can now start to manually add members. Wait until the URL page has completely loaded. After, you will be able to see a signup page for the new members of your funnel and/or brand, and we can now start to register new accounts.

Here are the steps that you need to do:

Enter the member’s email.

You can get the email of the members through your subscription list. Remember that gathering these should still adhere to the users’ privacy policy as immoral methods can only lead you to bear moral and financial damages.

 Formulate password.

In entering a password, it will be best if you think of a unique one, but will still be easy for the members to recognize. Avoid using complex characters as you will still need to suggest its replacement after the next step.

Most, if not all, of the time, repeating the password will be a necessary step to improve the user’s management of their password.

If you are sure that the email address is right, and there are no errors made, simply click the “Create an Account” button to complete the process.

 Step 5: Provide the member with bespoke login information.

After doing all the necessary steps above, you can now go on to gather the login information that you just used for registering the account and sending it to the owner of the email. This will allow them to access your membership area without going through so much hassle. Make sure that you will be sending the right information to the right user to avoid any issues.

 Summary: How to Add Someone Manually to Membership Area ClickFunnels
