The model I followed for my membership site was based on Andrew and Daryl Grant’s e-book business mentoring program.
Andrew and Daryl Grant You can learn exactly how Andrew and Daryl Grant generated $250,000 US in their first year of selling e-books online by listening to the two part podcast interview I did with Daryl.
They charge $49 a month for an elesson, some phone consultation (not necessarily with them, with their “lieutenant” experts) and a resource area.
