sell $5.46/month subscriptions to my housing email newsletter once again
The big question is whether I can get enough subscribers to live from it.
Is the $0.46 out of the $5.00 for credit card fees or something?
I think it's high to start out.
Some grad students I know wrote several booklets to sell on Amazon. Guides on different math topics. Nothing original in them. Probably copied stuff from here and there. Priced them cheap ($2.99 or $3.99, I don't remember) and wrote fake reviews themselves. They were soon generating as few hundred $ a month.
I'd feel better about a newsletter if I had some kind of unique data or analysis that others don't really have.
why would someone pay you to do what they can do themselves in less than 30 minutes which is establish a daily reading list of Real Estate related websites - for free.
If whatever you create allows similar to take place - I would be asking for a full and immediate refund.
I agree with the concept however there are a lot of blogs and websites already slogging it out in Real Estate. I posed links from one of them on here a few days ago - it's based in San Francisco.
* Subscriptions are the best of all possible business models, except that users generally hate subscriptions.
How about a site where you rate your real estate agent? And/ or landlord?
Just made sure that Apocalypsefuck writes most of the first batch of reviews.

I'm thinking of bringing back the housing news links, but it was a huge amount of work, and subscriptions were declining below the point where it was worthwhile. Maybe if I paid for advertising, that would help, but I doubt I'll get anything like the free press coverage I got way back in the housing bubble days.
Is there something else related to investing, housing, or politics? Curated news links like the housing links are relatively simple, but not really worthwhile until you can get well over 1,000 subscribers (= $5,000/month, = $60,000/year)
I know subscription fees are annoying, but they are often totally worth it as a consumer, and are definitely the best business model as a provider. I gladly pay my $5 to Spotify per month for a huge selection of music. They in turn spend most of that on licensing, which is a typical issue with subscriptions to raw data that someone else controls.
OK, housing newsletter again, or something else? Best funny pictures? Carefully selected porn links? What would you really enjoy getting in your email a few times a week?
