I turned part of my personal site into a membership site for aspiring remote workers.
On the membership landing page is a free signup. You get access to a 12-lesson course with tutorials and tactics I’ve used to land three FT remote jobs in my career.
The upsell was group coaching. Some people got excited about this. Only a few people paid.
I learned that unemployed people are not usually willing to pay for a service (especially if there are no video testimonials).
I’m confident that if I persevered this could have become something but I lost interest. Many people are still registering for the membership. I may return to the project soon and find a way to turn the content into a paid, self-paced course—-without paying for SaaS.

- daanlo 6y agoI assume by ISA they mean this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_share_agreement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_share_agreement
