I think I would much rather pay $10 a month to get premium content, than to see SEO 2.0 filled with ads.

It is an interesting point. To me, this is a far better way of going about it. Can you make a living doing it though – in fact, can you expand the idea in such a way that it not only makes enough money to live, but enough money to live extremely comfortably?

As much as I hate seeing ads on other sites, and I cannot remember the last time I clicked on one – if ever – I know that many people do click, and it can make buckets of money for the blogger.

I still visit the sites because I like the content, but boy, I wish there was a better way. Maybe this is it.

I’m looking forward to what you will do; maybe teach the rest of us how to work smarter.

And sure, I’ll pay $10, especially if the ROI is 200% – who wouldn’t?

Esteban: Thanks! I may contact you to ask you some questions reagarding my future offer. Would it be OK to answer some questions?
Jay: Also good point but if you look a little closer you will notice:

Also SEOMoz, the top SEO blog and company will make you pay 50$ as a premium member and you mostly get some pre-written stuff and some tools you can laso get for free:

Kottke is one of the true first generation a-list bloggers so it’s like saying “look Boing Boing is financed by ads”.
Exactly because I am an SEO I know that most problogging money making schemes are not my way to say the least. I don’t want to use the term bogus, but most probloggers rely on the stupidity of their audience reselling them ad solutions they say will make money while in reality only the leading probloggers make the money off the stupid audience who clicks the affiliate links to “make money online”.

Dosh Dosh is an exception but I hate his ads anyways. I would not advertise for most of this questionable offers.
So I do not want to wait 2 years until I get 3000 subscribers, I want to start now.
Also take note, I am not saying you’ll pay 10$ for the existing RSS feed. You get extra content that will enable you to earn money yourself on the Net. At least 20$ a month ;-)

Olivier: Thank you for your honest opinion, but once again: I am not talking about a one time one size fits all pre-written type of “premium” content. I am talking about daily updates, how-tos and tutorials. Right now I ‘m just scratching the surface in the spare hour I have to blog. You need time to devise in-depht tutorials.

Since I am very reluctant of this kind of paying sites.

Olivier.

There are a lot of excellent sites on SEO and web development that are completely free that enjoy a lot of traffic and are fully supported by advertising.

One of my daily reads is John Gruber’sDaring Fireball. He supports himself full-time with his blog. I think he gets around 50,000 visitors/day and the his site is completely free. Kottke.org is another great site that is supported by advertising.

You’re an SEO expert. Why not work on building up the traffic of this site and generating revenue with advertising? I’m sure that you could reduce the amount of tedious client work you do and spend more time doing what you love – blogging about SEO.
