Apparently, Shop-Eat-Surf’s Tiffany Montgomery has been holding out on us. She hasn’t been going as deeply into her subjects as she could have. But that all changes today. Because today Tiffany has announced an extra special, super premium, members-only section of her site that will only cost $9.99 a month or $89.99 a year. It’s called the “Shop-Eat-Surf Executive Edition.”
. . . members get access to our new Executive Edition and discounts on upcoming Shop-eat-surf events. Your membership fees also will allow us to expand and enhance our independent business news and information service for action sports executives. . . .The Executive Edition will be full of stories that take a deeper look at industry trends, companies and people. You’ll find analysis, indexes, perspective and professional development advice from industry leaders.
Because there’s nothing action sports executives need more than in-depth coverage of shopping and eating. Click here to send Tiffany some cash.

have you heard of the new website….?

Produce something that somebody finds useful and you can get paid for it. How much do the Boardistan editors make for running this site?
I thought it was a stretch when they put ads on that site, but to charge for rehashed press releases … seriously? What a joke!
With all the power of global publishing in the hands of every Tom, Dick, and Harry in the world … how in the Hell does she expect to charge people for information they can get for free in fifty other places? It’ll be interesting to see how her plans to monetize that blog site work out when there is no proprietary info offered.
Hmm… lets see. At $9.99 per month, she’s going to need roughly 1000 monthly ($10k/mo) subscribers to pay her expenses and be in the range of replacing a print editor’s salary. I honestly don’t see this even coming close to happening. I’d be surprised if she manages to get 100 monthly subscribers at that price.
No offense to Tiffany, she writes great stuff, but putting content behind a paid wall is so web 1.0. Personally, i think she’s going to have to find another revenue stream. She’ll never get enough traffic on that site to make a decent amount in ad revenue, so if I was her I’d look into doing seminars and consulting.
