WAS - KFactor Now "Members"

[Rick Sweeney]

The NSRCA needs to show more bang for the buck it appears. Even if you
did not increase the dues,
Limiting web access and forum\list to members only will give more reason
than the K-Factor alone for 
Joining. 
 
These are just my ideas, and how I see it. The main reason discussed for
leaving or joining the 
NSRCA has always been the K-Factor.
 
The NSRCA has two other benefits that get less attention for some
reason. The Website and the discussion list. Both pack
a punch, and can be used as more incentive for joining. 
 
You have absolutely nothing to loose by making the above, membership
only, as the current members are
not loosing anything, but the non-members which use these services for
free, would be.

It has been my experience that whenever you give away anything for free,
it is never considered

valuable or fully appreciated.

 

My recommendation would be to increase the dues, and lock down this list
and the NSRCA website

to paying members only.  There are many successful subscription web
sites and lists out there now. If people

find value in the  information, they are willing to pay for it. 


        Yup, that's exactly what the NSRCA needs to do.  Limit access to
all resources except for members.  Increase dues and drive away even
more folks.  Sounds like a true prescription for success and increasing
the membership to me.




 

With the increase in dues you can start paying the volunteers which will
motivate them to keep things more

up to date and fresh, which will create a better overall experience for
everyone&&&IMHO


        If the NSRCA were to pay the volunteers the true value of their
work, it'd be in the hole in a heart beat.
