Are you a paying member?

OHHH lol no, i had a feeling thats what it was haha

You want an Avatar right? I just don't feel its worth paying for it to be honest. I'm on many forums in which I can talk shop and trade information with high level people for free. Its not like I get a T-shit, mug or window to say I'm a fanboy. Yah, no thanks.

Your not paying to add an Avatar, you paying for access to the Mastering the System video library with hundreds of techniques. Jason and Eddie put alot of time and effort into the MTS videos, you can't complain for $4.99/mo when many of the other paid sites charge a hell of alot more. The forum extras are just an added bonus. You can also do all the things you just mentioned here for free as well.

In ten odds years of being on the Web MkI I would say I have downloaded and uploaded around £200k+ of material. I used to collect Vinyl, CD, DVD and it cost me a small fortune in the region of £22K over 18 years I ripped everything and uploaded it to the P2P networks in reasonable quality. If somebody wants to buy a CD they will, you can't beat WAV with Mp3.

I share because it gets the artist and art out there. I have been exposed to more music through P2P networks than from commercial channels. If you share something for free people will come. If you hide it behind a membership the best and most deserving people will not find it.

Do you want to make a small amount of money with memberships and keep the "system" exclusive? or do you want the "system" to be out there, used by people around the world who will make it famous? That is a rhetorical question.

That is just my take on it.

Eddie has put out free material for years, and continues to do so. He has the right to make a few dollars for his intellectual knowledge and hard work as does anyone else.

$60/year is pocket change, if you can't see $60 of value in Eddie and Jason's hard work, debating you isn't going to change your mind. I'd gladly pay double or triple that, in support of their efforts.

Eddie makes plenty money without the need for this turnstyle on a web forum.

Don't hate the player son!

The point is do you want to make "pocket change" or do you want those one in million special individuals to learn the system and become a Star in the sky to which 10th Planet can point to and say I we helped them get up there. Those stars will never see the system behind a cover charge. Eddie makes plenty money without the need for this turnstyle on a web forum.

Jon Jones is a great example of people who learned from watching clips on youtube.
Google is free and is arguable the most powerful tool anyone can use.



This is why everybody has a merchandise range. One can make more money from selling products which also advertises the Brand image and give a person something tangible for their support.

Example

Instead of a $5 membership fee, how about a T-shit with Iron on prints of monthly and updated images from 10th Planet gyms for $20 with P&P. They can be Photoshopped and sent in by anybody who wants to have their design on a T-Shirt. The forum can vote on the winning design or they can be randomly selected.

You can get T-Shits printed up in batches of a few dollars in the fashion district in down town LA for a few dollars per T-shit. You can use a direct print website so you don't have boxes of T-shirts laying around in a garage.

Now supporters gets twelve goofy T-shirts that he or she will be happy to wear around the year and will probably buy for other people to.

Membership fees vs Merchandise is a no brainier. Everybody is at it and making solid money from it.

Caliphate Ishtar Allah, Not a bad idea. Why don't you start your own web site and run it that way? You can also have a bunch of ads on it too as well. In the mean time I'll stick around over here.

None one is getting left out in the rain for 4.99/mo., It they are they have far more important issues to concern themselves with than Jiu Jitsu.

Implying that Jon Jones success is due to youtube videos is weak, and will leave it at that.

No one is arguing that Google and Youtube isn't a valuable tool. Eddie still puts out free material as do I.

You don't have to like they way its run around here, you have the choice not to spend the money.

Well stated!

[sean applegate]

Cool idea but Chris is right, I would gladly pay more for the information I get from mts. Does 4.99 a month even scratch what it would cost to have him teach u in person? No, enough said.
