We have lots of suggestions for what you can do with your website. Here are just a few ideas for how to add on functionality.

E-commerce

E-commerce offers the option of selling products and services directly to the general public from your website, integrating with payment gateways such as PayPal and Google Checkout.

• Sell real objects or digital downloads (with limits and tracking) with ease.
• Shipping, coupons, Google Analytics e-commerce, sales pricing, unlimited product variations.

Membership

A membership website is a site where visitors pay a monthly or annual fee to get access to some or all of your content. This revenue model allows you to take a your site and transform it into a recurring income-generating business. In fact, this is the strategy behind many of the world’s most profitable websites.

• Choose the length of your membership, how often your subscriptions should renew, and whether to give access to all your content immediately or divide it out over the length of the membership.
• Provide some or all of your members with access to any combination of downloads, categories, pages, posts, comments, online content, videos, forums, support or anything at all you can build with your website.
• Convert more visitors to paying members by offering a free trial of your membership and then turning it into a paid subscription after the trial.

Events

Create and manage events on your website, just like Facebook or EventBrite, but far more powerful, integrating directly with PayPal and Google Maps.

• Sell tickets to your event and accept payment in any major currency.
• Display event attendees, upcoming events and most popular events on your site.
• Monitor the guest list and optionally display public RSVPs on your site.

Appointments

Ideal for businesses and individuals who schedule times with clients, such as consultants, web designers, spa, hair salons, photographers and sales executives.

• Customers can book their own appointments on your site, or you can schedule appointments with clients, up to one year in advance.
• Manage customer contact information.
• Collect payments or deposits using PayPal.
• Send confirmation and reminder e-mails to increase customer attendance rates.
• Manage appointments using Google Calendar.

Fundraising

Kickstart your own projects.

• Create suggested donation levels or let end users choose their own, with recurring donations and payment in any major currency accepted via PayPal.
• Offer rewards for donations: downloads, t-shirts or more. Motivating people to donate has never been easier.
• Send a thank you and payment receipt.
• Display simple donation button, recent fundraisers and featured fundraisers on your site.
• Monitor your donations and fundraising goals, including a progress bar, and optionally display public fundraising goals and progress on your site.

Pay with a Like

Allow visitors to exchange a Like, +1 or Tweet for post content, videos, a free download, a coupon code or pretty much anything you want. Then, by clicking Like, they’ll promote your site to their friends, followers and colleagues, who may also want to pay with a like. The more likes, +1s and tweets you get, the higher your post and sites will appear in Google, making this amazing for SEO, too.

Essentially you are protecting your content behind a Social Share Wall, like a paywall (where your readers pay to access content) except you get them to share your website with their friends and colleagues instead of asking for cash.

Some ideas of the things you could start protecting:

• Your band’s latest audio track.
• Your company’s latest super saver discount code.
• A special download.
• News articles.
• Members Only content.
• Reviews.
• The second half of a gripping article.
• And really, pretty much anything.

Classified Advertisements

Let your site’s users create and manage their own ads, upload images, and receive e-mails about their classifieds postings, purchase credits and much more. Charge your users for placing ads on your site; with full PayPal integration, you set the prices and make money for each advertisement posted on your site.

• Upload images with ads and resize with easy-to-use cropping tool.
• Set time limit for ads to expire.
• Flexible PayPal credit system with multiple currency options.
• Set signup credits for all users or send an individual user a set amount of credits.
• Send credits as gifts.

Directory

Turn your site into a fully-featured listings directory complete with ratings, reviews, payments and more. Create a specialised niche directory, or even your own Yellow Pages-style site.

• Create a fully-featured online directory using your website.
• Accept payments for listings in your directory.
• Bill your customers every day, month of year on a recurring cycle or give them a one-time, upfront payment option – all handled automatically.
• Create user reviews and ratings for listings.

Pay per View

Pay per View gives you a quick, easy and effective way to sell any digital content. Take micro-payments or create subscriptions using PayPal or credit cards, be it tutorials, databases, videos, e-books or more.

• Protect content on your website.
• Make it extremely easy for people to pay in single payments or as subscriptions via PayPal.
• Allow users to create accounts with Twitter, Facebook and Google+. No need for visitors to create an account with you, which makes payment easy.

Social Marketing

Build buzz around your product or service with social marketing for easy sharing to Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and more.

• Entice visitors to your site with a coupon, discount code, download or other incentive.
• Visitors then “like” on Facebook, retweet, mention on Google+ or link to your site to unlock the incentive.

Big businesses like Amazon and know the value of enticing purchases with special offers to promote their online business. You can also sit back and watch social networking do its thing.
