Nanacast Quickstart Guide

Create a basic membership

1. Login to Nanacast. From the menu, Click Publish >> Membership Wizard
   
   


2. Type Membership Name, Publisher Name, and Customer Service email. Note that these are the only required fields for this step. All other features on this step are optional.
   
   
   
   Complete the Nanacast.com-Hosted Sales Page box if you plan to use it. You can paste in HTML generated by your favorite HTML editor application or use the provided HTML Editor.

4. The third page is the Edit Pricing and Delivery page. All of these settings are optional and editable later. Here you can select your Payment setting (Free or One-time payment vs. Subscription) and your pricing strategy. The major options on this page include:
   • Setup of an affiliate program for this offer, if desired.
   • Defining your thank-you page and email content.
