A question for the CPA experts.

Darren,

You are in a great position of power, but you have the wrong idea.

When you "restrict" content that was originally given for free, your followers will understand or "believe" rather that you are more concerned with making money than providing them with value.

As I understand you are making money already. If you want to make more money your focus should be this:

What can I do to make my tribe's lives wayy better?
What can I send them that would really get them raving?
What could I say to get their attention and make them super grateful they follow me?

What you can also focus on is "selling without selling" - which means you can your most responsive followers onto a separate sub-media of the internet,

such as an emailing list. You can give them something free (without requiring an email optin) - So if that "Free" thing happens to be:

5 Ways to Have an Unforgettable Time At a Dance Party (for example)

You can list the first 4 ways in the report and ask them politely to "accept your invitation" to recieve the 5th [and most important tip]

by giving you their email (in which you would reveal the 5th tip) and provide other super useful info on a weekly basis.

That is how you make more money by helping others more.

Never ever restrict content- that's a lame way to do it and they will catch on fast.

Cheers,

Justin

Agreed.

I would use the traffic to build a dance blog. Or a concert tracking website.

If you did decide to go with your original idea, a simple content locker does the trick (available from many cpa firms).

Many thanks guys for your answers, especially Justin.

I now realise what I need to do. I was just thinking of making a fast $$$$ and not looking at the bigger picture.

I now have a few ideas in my head. I can definitely see now where I need to focus my attention.

I have an Aweber account but really need to use it to its full advantage.

Once again thank you for your help

Darren

Yes, start building a list.

Tell them you'll send them "exclusive" mixes, and do so.

Then once your list gets bigger charge up and coming DJs a fee to blast their mixes and tracks to the list.

before careful a lot of offers will not allow social media
