Mike,
I'm trying something out that may assist you, too.
I have a free e-zine. First step toward possibly of pay - either getting paid for my ezine OR being paid for much more for my articles - is that I created a password protected Subscriber Only part of my website. My readers know the password and ID. I plan to change it quarterly. My readers get access to all my free articles and ebooks/reports.

In order to get into this new area of my site from the site, you have to subscribe to my e-zine.

On the old articles list page, which I left, I have a few articles they can download and then let people know where they can find the other articles (I left all the titles on that old page but removed the links).

I'm getting fewer people join my e-zine ... which is OK with me... because I want quality. I want people who take the time to visit my website and really want to join my e-zine. They're apt (I hope) to be higher quality visitors and potential clients.

Hope this is clear ... if not, LMK. It's just an idea I'm testing out.
