Ok - I hope I can explain this ight.
I have a digital product I create, similar to an ebook. I want to do a membership sort of thing where when someone signs up, they get 10 new products each month. I've got a subscribe button through paypal that will do the monthly billing. Is there an automated way to deliver the product? (Without having to spend a bunch of $$$)

I have aweber and thought about using that, but I dont' want to set it up for every 30 days for them to get their item automatically, because what if their payment is declined?

And I thought about just emailing them manually, but I'd like for it to be as much on autopilot as I can.

Another thought I have is regarding the size of their inbox. If I bundle up the 10 products, it may well be 5-10 MB. I don't want to zip it, because a big percentage of my target customers may not be computer savvy.

Oh, and if it matters, everyone will get the same "packet #1", no matter when they subscribe, then move on to #2, etc. So very much like an autoresponder, but it needs to be tied to their payment?

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

    I use a membership plugin for wordpress that has this functionality, called gradual Content delivery.

    The software I use called memberwing processes membership billings through paypal then lets the members get their sequence of content access on the blog.

    Another plugin that does the same thing is called wishlist member. They call it sequential content delivery. they have a lot more video training for new users.

    Both commercial apps run between 100-150 for a single use domain. and about 300 for unlimited domain usage.

    Ah, this is perfect - thanks! Think I'm going to go with one of the wordpress ones and switch this particular site over to that format. I had been thinking about doing that anyway (it's just static HTML right now), so this made up my mind.

    I would also recommend WordPress with the WishList Member plug-in to do EXACTLY what you want! If you google "Powered by WishList Member" and poke around you'll find business models that fit your exact requirements as a reference.
