Last month, we introduced newsletters & memberships features on Hyvor Talk. Our primary reason was to integrate those features with Hyvor Blogs, our blogging platform, so that users can have a single solution for pretty much all the dynamic features a blog needs.
We are happy to announce that, we have upgraded our Hyvor Blogs + Hyvor Talk integration to support these new newsletter and memberships features.
If you run your blog on Hyvor Blogs, and have a Growth+ plan subscription,
- You can now start a newsletter at no additional costs
- You can now start a paid membership service at no additional costs. And, even set up members-only content (gated content) using tags.
Connecting Hyvor Talk
In the Hyvor Blogs Console, go to Integrations → Hyvor Talk and Connect Hyvor Talk. This will create a new Hyvor Talk Website ID associated with your blog.
For adding comments, see this page.
Adding a Newsletter
Adding a newsletter is simple. You can simply click Add to “Newsletter Signup Form Code”. This will place the newsletter sign-up form as supported by your theme (usually below posts).
or you can manually place the embed code in your theme. Once you have subscribers, you can send newsletters to them from the Hyvor Talk Console. Learn more about newsletter sending with Hyvor Talk.
Memberships
Before adding paid memberships, make sure to configure Stripe in the Hyvor Talk Console. This will only take a couple of minutes. You can learn more about Hyvor Talk Memberships here.
Then, add the membership code to the Footer.
Now, users should be able to subscribe to paid plans directly from your blog.
Gated Content Rules
Then, you will most likely want to write paid-members-only content. This is also straightforward. Go to Integrations → Hyvor Talk and create a Gated Content rule.
- Tag: Posts with this tag will be gated (only members can access it)
- Minimum Plan: The minimum plan members need to access the given content
- Gate: What to show to those who don’t have access. You can choose Hyvor Talk’s default gate, or use custom HTML.
A user who doesn’t have access will see a screen like this, depending on your color settings and preferences.
