All I'm talking is using the blog format for upselling but not just a banner or button in a members area, just give the surfer more to lead to the upsell. If you get rss feeds from your sponsors that have attractive content 'in addition to' the content you already add yourself you service the upsell procedure with more for the surfer and it's far less work.

This is a sound idea Greg. And Jace is the man to do it.

We experimented with this for gonzo.com and there are more benefits to it than you realize. I was looking at using it as a pseudo CMS.

If it was going to work I knew you or someone on this board had already done it.

I hope I am not one of the guys that doesn't get it, but why have the blog visible to paid members only?

Why not have it viewable to the public?

If you're doing the work of creating this vehicle to promote sponsor sites, wouldn't you want the largest audience possible?

I understand that someone that has already bought a membership is a higher qualified prospect than someone that hasn't, but there is no additional cost for making the blog public.

Why wouldn't you do that?
