Summary
There are several simple ways for people to join your organization using your Join It provided Member Portal. Whether you want to embed it on your website, share a direct link, or send a personal invitation, you can choose the option that works best for you and your audience.
Choose the Best Way for Members to Join
Option 1: Embed the Member Portal on Your Website
If you already have a website, you can embed your Member Portal directly onto a page. This allows visitors to purchase and join your organization without ever leaving your site.
To embed the Member Portal:
Navigate to the Member Portal tab in your dashboard.
Click Portal Widgets.
Under Embeddable Widgets, click View Embed Tool.
Copy the provided code.
Paste the code into your website’s HTML where you’d like the join form to appear.
Once added, visitors will be able to sign up and complete their membership directly from your website.

Option 2: Share Your Direct Member Portal Link
If you don’t want to embed the portal, you can simply share a direct link to it. This is perfect for email campaigns, social media posts, or adding to a button on your website.
To find your Member Portal link:
Click the 'View Member Portal' button on the left-hand side of your dashboard.
Copy the URL from your browser’s address bar.
Share that link with anyone who would like to join your organization.
When someone clicks the link, they’ll be taken straight to your Member Portal to complete their membership purchase.
Option 3: Send a Quick and Easy Invitation Email
For a more personal approach, you can send a direct invitation email to prospective members.
To send a Quick and Easy invitation:
Go to the Members tab.
Click Add Member and add them as a prospective member (if they’re not already in your account).
Navigate to the Communication tab.
Click Quick and Easy Emails.
Select 'Send Messages'.
Choose the member you’d like to invite.
Select the Invitation template when setting up the email.
This sends them a direct invitation with a link to join your organization.
