I'm slowly building a membership section, but I didn't mean to put this and every single other post on my homepage behind a pay-wall. The outsourcing company I use made a mistake. I fixed it this afternoon.
But yes, I am moving towards a paid premium model that will include older interviews. And this won't be the last time I'll make a mistake.
- jordanb 17y agoIt makes a lot more sense to me to put the recent interviews be behind the paywall, and make the back catalog free. It's typically the recent stuff that's 'hot' and therefore has the most value, while the older stuff tends to be more of a curiosity with less value. Plus, a wide-open back-catalog is more likely to attract references from places like wikipedia, from people trying to cite it.
- melvinram 17y agoIMHO that makes no sense. The back catalog is more important to a real entrepreneur. Someone looking for entertainment in the disguise of education content would find the "hot" stuff interesting. Someone building a business cares about specific topics because they are having issues with specific things like search engine marketing, sales people, partnerships, law, etc. That may or may not be covered by the latest "hot" stuff but a quick search in the back catalog is likely to turn up a good interview.
