Membership Site Vs Ebook Site
I have a question for you guys. My friend and I have some related content that we would like to develop into either a membership site or a site with 10-15 lower priced ebooks.
I am here to ask you which you think would be most profitable.
I think both would work equally well. The content is all about one niche, but is in several different aspects of that niche.
So I could easily see each group of content being made into an individual ebook OR being a month's worth of content on a membership site.
Now you just to give you an idea what we are thinking as far as pricing.
We are thinking of charging $9.99 per ebook, if we go that route. Now I know all the hype about prices ending in 7's sell more etc etc. Plus higher priced products obviously make more money, but we want these guides to be affordable and useful.
If we went the membership route I think that we would charge the same amount, $9.99 per month. So we would most likely earn more money from one person if we create a membership site. However, I am hoping our ebooks are affordable and helpful enough that we will have multiple buyers.
Can anyone offer any advice?
I know that the membership site might be a little more work, but after reading the threads of several users here. I see that you can preload content into the membership site and have it release monthly. This would mean that except for promotion it would be almost automated.
Thanks in advance for the help.
