DO SIGN-UP SUBSCRIPTIONS ACTUALLY WORK - and is free stuff actually worthless?

I had a really interesting conversation this week about what I post on LinkedIn. The advice was that I publish too much, too often and am too helpful. I would be better to reduce on all three fronts and require people to subscribe to a mailing list in order to access tools, templates, training, ideas and experience.

I accept that this is a prevailing view, but I have to say whenever someone asks me for my email subscription or throws-up a paywall I generally go elsewhere to find what I am looking for. There is plenty of choice on the internet.

I am sometimes criticised for "giving stuff away" but in reality nothing I've thought, felt, said or done has not been done before (and probably better) than someone else.  I may not be a renowned author, but I aspire to be a valuable resource, akin to a well-stocked library. Oscar Wilde once said, "Experience is the name we give our mistakes." After four decades in consulting and coaching, I've amassed a wealth of experience and insights that I'm eager to share. I see no harm in being helpful.

If someone subsequently gets in contact for coaching, consulting or just a free cup of coffee that is a bonus. I actually enjoy exploring ideas and helping people. Sometime a coffee and a chat is plenty of reward. I do not think an email subscription or a paywall make that more likely. But here's the thing.... I may be wrong and I am willing to experiment and learn.

So I'm going to experiment and learn, and you can subscribe.

If you choose not to, that is fine. The internet is a big place and you'll find me in many corners of it. But maybe a monthly email in your in-box is easier than searching through posts and articles. So now you have a choice.
