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.
