When running a membership site, one of the biggest problems is providing value that will keep your audience engaged. In addition to a solid content strategy, another strategy you can employ is to add more interactive elements to your membership site such as a community plugin like BuddyPress.
But what happens when you want to add some more industry-specific, interactive features? Well, an industry-specific “calculator” may be a great option for you to engage members and keep them coming back to use directly on your site.
Think about how much value you could provide your members by adding a “Mortgage Calculator” or a “BMI Calculator” or another type of calculator that’s been tailored to your industry. Well, in the past, to get a calculator like this setup on your site you’d have to build it yourself which could be an expensive and time-consuming affair.
