MBA1336 Is Gated Content a Good Idea?

The $100 MBA Show

We usually think of content as something we give away. But should you be getting something in return, besides exposure?

Today, we discuss whether to build the wall — the paywall, that is. Or at the very least, whether you should require an email address or other opt-in to access your premium content. Does it deter people from accessing your content, and possibly being converted? 

Or does a gate have the opposite effect, signifying value and moving visitors closer to becoming customers?

Whether you host a podcast, create videos, or write guides and e-books, a solid gate may be ironic; rather than separating you from your audience, this barrier might actually bring people closer. When someone chooses to exchange something for content, they’ve bought more than access — they’ve bought in. 

Tune in, and decide if some of your content would be more effective if it wasn’t just given away. Click Play!
