I'm glad to see you're doing something to make some money off of Mixergy, Andrew. If it means that you've got an incentive to keep doing these interviews, then it's worth it.
Is $25 a month the right price? I have no idea. But I appreciate the straightforward nature of asking for a subscription. There are some good suggestions on your site as well, such as charging per interview in iTunes.
If you haven't thought about it already, it might be interesting for you to partner up with sites like StartupToDo.com as well, or something like that.
I've already watched most of your videos, so I don't know if I'm the right target audience for what you're selling right now.
There is something I would pay more than $25 a month for though, but it would probably require more than just your work to make it happen - If I heard about a private mailing list that contained tips, advice, anecdotes, whatever that came from people like you, patio11, Jason Cohen, maybe maxklein (I'm undecided at the moment ;)), etc and I knew that the information sent out to that list wouldn't get made public for at least a month, I'd probably sprain my elbow trying to get my credit card out fast enough to start giving you my info.
Maybe that's a model for you as well - private memberships get early access to interviews, not archive access. I mean, these things contain actionable information; I would think their greatest value would be right when they're made.
Anyways, I'm sure you'll hit the right formula eventually. Nobody likes it when something that used to be free starts costing money; but if the product is good enough they'll get over it.
- jasonlbaptiste 17y agoive actually thought about doing something like this after thoroughly investigating email newsletters. not sure on the formula. not sure if you make it paid.
- icey 17y agoI would prefer paid to ad-supported. If you're talking about the art of business on the internet, I'm a firm believer in the idea that there is an advantage to knowing about techniques and opportunities before everyone else does. A paid subscription limits the audience more than an ad-supported service would. I mean, it's got to provide actionable information for it to be worthwhile, but these guys have been giving actionable information away for free all this time anyways.
