What up everybody?

Patlin here and welcome to episode 498 of Ask Pat.

Two episodes away from 500.

Crazy.

Appreciate you taking the time to listen to this, whether this is the first time you've listened to Ask Pat

or the 498th time.

I appreciate you.

All right, here's today's question from Gianna.

Hi, Pat.

This is Gianna Kordatsky with Family Fun Twin Cities.com.

I was just wondering if you see anything that would be unethical about having a membership

site which creates revenue and having affiliate links and having paid advertising and stuff

on your sites or if they can all work together without

being conflicting with each other. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

Hey, what's up, Gianna? Thank you so much for the question today. I really appreciate it.

I believe this is actually a very relevant question because there's

a lot of people out there creating membership sites now. And it's interesting because for membership

sites, especially ones that are that people have to pay recurring income for, there might be some

confusion in terms of, you know, if I'm in a membership site, for example, and I'm paying X number

of dollars a month and then I see there's a resource list there. And, you know, I find out later that this person is making even more money, quote, off of me through certain clicks and links and things like that. Depending on what that is, I might be offended by that. And I might feel like I'm being taken advantage of or just trying to get every dollar squeezed out of me.
