Teaching Sells is closing. It’s true.
I’ve been a member of this program from the beginning. Why did I join? Because of trust. Let me explain.
I had been reading Brian Clark’s blog, Copyblogger, for a long time. During that time I came to trust him (that’s the power of blogs). Teaching Sells was not a casual promotion. It was a program he created. But it was even more than that.
It was the method he has been using for years to make good money with membership websites that teach. You see, when people want to learn something valuable, they are perfectly willing to pay for it. It’s ethical and profitable. I like that combination very much.
How good can the money be? Say you have only 300 members and they pay only $19.99 a month. Do the math. Yeah, I know! Now imagine more members, higher prices, and multiple sites. You get the idea.
So I joined, and I’m using what I learned in it to launch Gateway Blogging, my own online learning program for business blogging (in development right now). Teaching Sells teaches you how to do this step by step. It is a no-hype information-packed roadmap anyone can follow. The doors haven’t shut just yet, so you can still join. If you did a little math based on what you read in the previous paragraph, your mind might be racing. You want to know more.
Brian has explained what’s in the program and why they’re closing (and when) right here: Teaching Sells is Closing the Doors.
Interesting – I’ve long debated trying to put a program together. It seems like a great way to monetize established blogs and provide a service to readers. Good luck on your program!
@Dan – it is much more than that, and no blogging is necessary. It’s about how to create a learning environment online that can truly teach people about a subject.
If you’re on the fence, all I can say is that you won’t be able to join while they’re closed, and when they re-design and re-open, they’ll be more expensive.
[...] P.P.S. – The idea of using a story to deliver a message "payload" is something I learned from Teaching Sells, which is only accepting members for a few more days before closing the doors to the public. [...]
