πŸ“˜ How to Create a Free Membership Tier as a Lead Magnet

This article is for creators and explains how to create or enable a free subscription tier on WithMe without affecting existing paid tiers.

Updated over 2 weeks ago

A free membership tier is a smart way to welcome new members into your hub without asking them to pay upfront. It lets people explore your Free membership content, understand how your hub works, and get comfortable with your style before committing to a paid membership.
​

On WithMe, free membership tiers work as long-term lead magnets. They help you collect emails, nurture relationships over time, and gradually guide members toward your paid plans or products β€” without pressure or friction.


✨ Free Tiers Are Fully Customisable

Free membership tiers are no longer just a simple toggle setting. You can now create a free tier exactly like a paid tier β€” with a custom title, description, landing page, button text, thumbnail, and more.

The only difference is that instead of setting a price, you enable the "Free Membership" toggle in the Checkout tab above the pricing section.

πŸ’‘ Pro Tip: Treat your free tier like a product β€” give it a compelling name and landing page to increase sign-ups and set clear expectations for what members get.


πŸ†• Create a Free Membership Tier

Follow the same steps you would for any paid membership tier, then enable the free membership toggle in the Checkout tab:

  1. Go to My Hub

  2. Click + Add Product

  3. Select Memberships

  4. Fill in your tier details just like a paid tier β€” add a custom title, description, landing page content, and button text. More details on tier setup

  5. Click on the Checkout tab and locate the "Free Membership" toggle above the pricing section

  6. Enable the "Free Membership" toggle β€” this replaces the price with a free sign-up

  7. Click Publish to make your free tier live


✏️ Enable Free Tier on an Existing Membership

If you already have paid membership tiers set up, you can enable a free tier by editing any existing tier:

  1. Go to My Hub β†’ Locate any membership product

  2. Click the 3 dots (β‹―) to Edit an existing tier

  3. Click on the Checkout tab and locate the "Free Membership" toggle above the pricing section

  4. Enable the "Free Membership" toggle

  5. Click Update Tier

This won't affect your paid tiers.


πŸ“Œ Important Notes About Free Membership Tiers

  • Free tiers are now fully customisable β€” you can set a custom title, description, landing page, button text, and thumbnail, just like any paid tier.

  • The free tier is enabled by toggling "Free Membership" in the Checkout tab above the pricing section β€” no price is set.
