Membership site vs one-time course - My thoughts. What do you think?
I was initially thinking of offering a 4-week video & text course, for perhaps $297 or $197.
Now I'm thinking I could get more revenue with a membership site charging $14/mo, with an option to prepay 1 year for 15% off. I could space out my content more and make it last 2 months. I will also have a members forum where I answer questions, and other members I'm sure will help each other.
Even after adding more content and expert interviews, I could run dry on content after 3 months. All the business I've done to date on other sites has been affiliate sales and ecommerce, with no real pressure to come up with new content on any schedule. I've never dealt with the kind of intense pressure to keep providing new content for paying members or lose my revenue stream, and it scares me.
Any advice? I'd love to hear any feedback, including on my pain point or the figures I gave.
Edit: I'm also toying with the idea of adding an a up-front $47 fee to the $14/mo. Right away they get access to a bunch of content and the forum, so the value is front-loaded.
