This is my conversational account. For my work follow @ribbonfarm, @breaking_smart, @artofgig. Tweets are 90% vacuous views, apathetically held. Mediocritopian.

      13/ And it works in the other direction too: many course purchasers then become Praxis members as a “continuity” program. Each one supports the other

      14/ I’m still barely scratching the surface though. Don’t do any promotion really, no free offers or bonuses, no conversion rate optimization, no cross-promotion with other sites. Right now my focus is on writing the book so it will have to wait

      15/ But in the future I want to do a much better job of connecting members to each other, helping them help each other, supporting collaborations, sharing knowledge, etc. So many possibilities and ideas

      16/ It seems like long term, the biggest asset is the shared knowledge, terminology, culture, perspective of such a large group of influential/effective ppl. Being able to coordinate & direct that energy would be huge (anti-book club was early experiment)

      17/ Someday my writing pace will have to slow down and such community, collaboration, knowledge sharing benefits will have to take over as primary benefit of membership if it’s going to survive

      18/ In general I think future of niche membership sites is very bright. Attention is getting too scarce to waste time with free content. Niches are highly profitable, with little competition. What it takes is someone willing to obsess about something for a long time

      19/ I’d love to hear from Praxis members and non-members alike: what do you think we should add, remove, or change? What would it take for you to subscribe or stay subscribed?

      You don’t feel trapped by commitment/expectations? 🤔

      That was a big fear, but honestly no. I only promise 1-3 posts per month, and a post can be almost anything. In 2018 I averaged about 1 per week so I could cut writing in half and still deliver on the promise

      I think my usage of Evernote is critical though as I have between 20-30 posts as notes in the pipeline at any given time, most of which could be brought to completion within a day
