Better Than Disneyland

How Your Online Course Can Be Better Than Disneyland

How Your Online Course Can Be Better Than Disneyland

So recently, along with my family, I visited Disney California Adventure.

And a few months ago, in December 2016, during the holiday break, my family and I went to Universal Studios.

Now, I live in San Diego, which is about 1.5 hours from Anaheim, which is where Disneyland and California adventure are located. And about a 3 hour drive from Universal Studios in Los Angeles.

Universal has something called “Front of Line” access. It is about $100 dollars more on top of a regular ticket, which by itself costs about $100.

So when you pay an extra $100 for front-of-line access, you basically get to go to the front of the line for every single ride, only once per ride, of course. And even if you go on a week day, let alone going during a major holiday, the lines are absolutely crushingly long. 1 to 2 hours wait for each ride. And because we paid extra for front-of-line access, we were able to get to the front of the line for every single ride, thus saving us at least 1 hour per ride.

So paying $400 extra for 4 front-of-line passes, was totally worth it, considering we saved about 4 to 6 hours in total of standing in line. Now that’s a win-win, if you ask me. Universal wins because it gets to squeeze out an extra $100 per ticket for the front-of-line access, and it was a win for us because we saved so much time, and that made it so much more enjoyable, and we were able to get to all of the rides, and it only enhanced the experience.

But here’s the problem with what Disney does, which is completely the opposite of what Universal Studios does. And here’s why you shouldn’t make the mistake of following Disney’s model, and should instead use Universal’s model….

Listen to the rest of this via my podcast episode above.

What Your Podcast Listeners Are Thinking

8/31/2016 By Ravi Jayagopal Leave a Comment

Recently, I wrote a post as an avid podcast listener, and a podcaster myself (my podcast SubscribeMe.fm turns 1 year old in just a few weeks!)

I first submitted it on Reddit.com, and it was promptly deleted by an auto-moderator.

I woke up next morning, to see a huge number of responses, including some nasty ones. But you gotta take it in your stride when you post in a public forum.

Here’s the full article, published on my podcast’s site:

I just launched my new book…

For a limited time, you can get it for free at SubscribeMeBook.com

I call it the “Free with Five Friends” offer.

My book is also available on Amazon Kindle at SubscribeMeBook.com/amazon/

My podcast at SubscribeMe.fm/podcast/ is still going strong. At the time of writing this, I have now published 16 episodes, and the number of listeners has gone up consistently week after week, month after month. So check that out when you get a chance.

So if you haven’t guessed by now, I’m all in on membership sites and online courses 😉

The software: DigitalAccessPass.com

The podcast: SubscribeMe.fm/podcast/

The book: SubscribeMeBook.com

Cheers!
