Hi guys...

Okay, for quite some time I've been going with this project in mind.
It started out as an ebook, but then evovled.

I want to create a free membership site. The site will be free to use and trough pdf's and videos I'll teach the members.

Now, I want to give all of this away for free, hoping to earn some additional income trough some affiliate links.

My problem is, that I'm not sure how I should go about it. I have a few ideas in mind.

My first thought would be to make them opt-in and then give them access to all at once trough a members only wordpress blog.

My second thought is to make them opt-in, and then send them the emails one at the time, and only give them access to what they allready have seen/read and the current "module".

Keep in mind, that even though I love to teach and share my knowledge with others, this is created to make affiliate sales.

What do think is the best solution, or do you have any other ideas?

    Maybe setup a forum and have an area in the forum where you have affiliate links to products that you recommend?

    Just thinking out loud.

    Mm

      I was thinking more in term of showing a way to do stuff and then provide a product that would make that process easier...

      But the real question is, if I should give my list all the content at once, or should make like a 7 day course or something?

    IMHO I think that the 7 day course would be better in terms of making additional sales because noobies (I'm talking from experience) want to learn as fast as they can and if you limit how fast they can learn the ones that are like me will get bored and open up their wallets hoping that they'll learn faster. Thats how I went about it and it cost me a lot of money.

      Hmm.. interresting theory. Thanks
      I also like the seven day course thing better, because it kinda forces them to do what I ask of them, to continue the training...

      I had a short course on becomming an affiliate for a while and it made me a pretty penny.

      Also Ryan Wade had 3daylist.com which turned out well.
      Du you still have that course? Might be interesting to optin to
