Summary

In this episode of AskPat, I chat with Nick about how he can add a subscription model to his online courses. Nick oversees the children and student ministries at his church, and also dedicates his time to helping other churches grow their leadership and their ministries. He's got a Family Ministry Podcast and also a learning site called Ministry Boost, where he offers classes that he and a team of instructors make available on a one-off basis. He's thinking about ways to grow and support everybody better, and thinking about maybe going with a subscription model for his online courses. What are some of the pros and cons with a subscription model? We discuss this, and other ideas for how he might modify his delivery model, in this episode.If you enjoyed today's episode and you love the format of this show and helping other entrepreneurs, can you help me convince others to listen too?
