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

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
