I love to recommend books, products, and services. Some of these recommendations earn me an affiliate payment, but I promise you I will never recommend anything I don’t absolutely love. And you will never pay a penny extra for using my links.
AWeber Mailing Lists
I use a lot of mailing list services for my clients. I have even managed a mailing list before such services existed, and I can tell you they are worth so much more than any of them charge.
I love AWeber for their ease of use, their great customer service, and their high standards. Their Follow Up Series are a fantastic way to offer a course by email. So flexible. So easy to give learners what they need. And now they offer landing pages, too, for selling things if you have no website of your own. Please use this link to check out AWeber, as I am an affiliate.

Digital Access Pass (DAP)
Want to create online courses or membership access to your content? Or make money from your podcast? Digital Access Pass is far and away your best option. If you use WordPress, it includes an incredible plugin to let you set up who can see what as you create each post or page or image. You can even use smart tags to show different text or images to different users, depending on their membership in any of your programs. And you can preschedule when members in each program will be able to see each of them, by calendar date or days of membership.
This is my affiliate link for Digital Access Pass.
DAP is so full-featured, because they’ve been responding to user requests for more than a decade, adding new features all the time. One of my favorite is that when members pay on my DAP sites, they are automatically subscribed to one of my AWeber mailing lists. When they quit, DAP tells AWeber to cancel their subscription.
While there is an inexpensive basic membership (just DAP), you’ll be set up and selling access so fast that you will want all the extra plugins: SmartPayCart.com, SmartQuizBuilder.com, S3MediaVault.com Elite, GameOfPoints.com, ShowSalesProof.com, SpinToWinReward.com, DAP2DAP, DAPConnect, IPN Redirect, CoolCastPlayer.com, FBLeadMachine.com, FBShareToUnlock.com, DAP Ticket & more! These make it so easy to get traffic to your site, protect your content, and keep subscribers coming back. SmartPayCart lets members pay with Stripe, PayPal, or other payment processors and handles all of that for you, and it lets you customize your checkout pages. Game of Points lets you reward members for all sorts of actions, including buying more from you. Smart Quiz builder is great for quizzes, both the ones in your courses and the ones you use to get visitors interested in your programs. And it’s incredibly flexible and full of features.
I highly recommend Digital Access Pass.
