Overall you'll need a fairly successful product - whether its information or a service to monetize this way. But its food for thought.

Nice blog Andy PS: Watch the 'r' in the title :) I guess it depends on the value/services you can extract by being a member vs what you can obtain from the site and elsewhere by not paying. Overall you’ll need a fairly successful product – whether its information or a service to monetize this way.

But its food for thought. And there maybe some kudos in being a member of some sites – “im a problogger subscriber etc…”

Nice blog

I do have a blog for my Savvy-Writer.com. I never thought about turning it into a membership site. I do have a couple of life coaching sites. I could turn them into membership sites as well.

I think the membership site works best if you have something like a class to pitch, although if you've got a big enough following, a forum can work... problogger has a paid forum - $1.98 a month... he's got 2000 members. Seems like your baby book blog could grow to at least a paid forum... maybe an online class too.

It was the first time I had ever hear about Yaro Starak and the fact that you endorsed his course and trusted him played a big role in me checking his course out. Of course, his and Gideon's presentation skills and honest talk did the rest. I signed up for BAB on the last day just after reading your post, decided on a topic based on their advice and have been posting to my blog for a few months now. Thanks to you, in large part!! Have been meaning to write for a while. I hope and believe that I will turn my blog into a profitable venture some time soon, but right now, am still very much in the beginning stages of creating useful content. I have neither built up enough traffic nor an email list, so a membership site may not be right for me at this time. Not sure if my thinking is right... Anyway, just wanted to let you know how much of a difference your blog makes... Thanks again, Rupa P.S : Wishing you the best with your own Membership site. .-= Rupa´s last blog ..<a href="http://babylovesbooks.com/2009/10/27/baby-books-for-your-bundle-of-energy/" rel="nofollow">Baby Books For Your Bundle of Energy</a> =-.
