Hey David, just wanted to post an update. I bit the bullet and launched a 12-week training course on my blog. I only had around 500 email subscribers, but I was able to get 50 sign-ups at $39/month for 3 months.

Thanks for making a good case for membership sites!

I've been coming across the membership model more and more lately...you and Yaro and Darren and everybody is in on this game, and for good reason. It's leveraged, can create huge value for members, pays stable income...the benefits are huge. I think it takes some skill to pull off a membership site tactfully and successfully, but that sure is no reason to not get on the ball :)

Could you expand on this a little more David, If you were a newbie, what sort of membership program could you launch as your first ever product?

I couldn't agree more David. Lynda.com has been taking this approach for as long as I've been on the web. Thanks for the report.

Thanks for this David.

You got that clear to me.

Not necessarily. There really isn't any reason you can't launch a membership program right away. They come in different sizes and complexities, and it makes for one hell of a first product.

Hi David. I completely believe that membership site are the bomb-diggidy. However, what would you recommend for a relatively new blogger like myself (been at it for 6 months) who HASN'T yet released a product. Do you think a few single products might be better before jumping into a membership site?

Thanks for everything. You rock.
