Ben Brooks, who runs The Brooks Review, just dove head first into a new business model. And while diving into a new model is risky, he certainly gave it a lot of thought and I wish him the best.

Instead of ads, he offers readers the chance to purchase a monthly membership for a nominal fee. Members get immediate access to the articles and links he posts to his site. Those who opt to read things without contributing will get access to those same articles seven days later.

Read Ben’s explanation of the new model and the thought that went into it because my simple summary doesn’t do it justice. He clearly thought this through and I’m hopeful it works out and others find similar success.

I’ve already become a member and I’ve added The Brooks Review to the list of sites I support.

You should, too.
