A little while ago on the show, a debate began over whether paid online communities are a sustainable business model or not. Meaning, are people willing to shell out a monthly or yearly fee to be a part of some kind of online community?

Kevin MillerOpinions and facts were all over the place and one voice that popped up was Kevin Miller, who is the Founder of Free Agent Academy, who joins me today on the show. Kevin has built a sustainable business helping people make the transition to free agency (as he calls it).

Kevin joins me today to talk a bit about how he built Free Agent Academy and advice for you if you are thinking about jumping into this business model (including misconceptions and mistakes to avoid).

Which begs the question, what do you think about the paid community model? Are you a member of any paid communities?
