I think Bill was one of the smartest guys online (or off), and although he's just retired this year, he's still alive and kicking...so this isn't one of those posts.

Hi Gordon,
Thanks for the "heads up" on Bill Myers' (now free) archives!
There's a lot of treasure there to be had, for sure...
I've been a paying member of his website, BMyers.com , off and on over the years...
Was worth the money.
He is without a doubt, a talented guy...
He's made money multiple ways. (As a programmer, I believe he made a ton in the early days of membership websites with MemberGate software, that I think he programmed himself, if I'm not mistaken... He eventually sold it, so he doesn't own that business now...)
One thing I like about his "style" - which anyone who creates products can do - is he makes a product, but also takes you "behind the scenes" on how he makes that product...
So if he shoots an instructional video, which he'll sell as a product... At the same time, he's documenting
how he created the video - which can then become another product!
There's a kind of appeal to entrepreneurial "voyeurism" there... People want to know what happens behind the scenes!
(I really should try to do more of that...)
Great role model for info-product creators...
Best wishes,
Dien
