Okay, I need some opinions, and where else should I go but to my trusted companions on the forums.
I am wanting to take SC up to the next level and make it the place to go for sniping info. In order to do this, I have been contemplating creating a SC membership which provides additional things BEYOND what is already on SC. Now, this membership would cost $5 per YEAR. That memberhip would include (to start, more to come later):
1 - Special Pricing for all things Sniping related (primarily through Keislers) and one stop shopping for all those impossible to find products for sniping/long range shooting.
2 - Monthly Email Newsletter with articles and specials
3 - Members only section of web site including:
a) Early reviews on rifles/optics/equipment. With the reviews making it to the public site a few months after members section
b) More content related to tactics, ghillies, how to's, methods, etc. I have purposefully not done this for a public site, that would change.
c) Extensive photo section
d) Members photo section
4 - Discount on sniper central shooting schools, conducted in montana. (more info on that coming in due time).
5 - Any additional specials that can be arranged
Now, the big thing this allows me to be able to do is devote a lot of time and new resources into SC. The site is experiencing a large growth period right now, and I want to continue the growth if possible. I still want to keep the information that is currently there free to the public.
Anyway, I wanted to get some feedback from people wether this is/would be a good idea or not.
please feel free to comment, both for and against, and with other ideas. I'm all ears!
