Premium Content

by Peter Osborne on May 6, 2010 · 0 comments

We aren’t ready yet to launch Premium Content on this site, but hope to within the next 60 days. One challenge is identifying content that would justify a monthly or annual subscription rate while still providing valuable free resources for other visitors who choose not to pay.

We’re discussing creating a searchable database that would match consultants with prospective clients – helping subscribers find projects that might (or might not) lead to a full-time position for those who still see consulting as a bridge or ”audition” strategy. We’re also considering offering more sophisticated downloadable materials that would justify a small fee.

Please take a few minutes and let us know the types of things that might lead you to consider subscribing to a fee-based service. Would a consultant database be of interest? What kind of documents would be worth a small monthly investment? What would you like this site (and this community) to do for you?

We look forward to hearing your ideas!
