Has anyone else signed up for emails about this? I get the regular emails from Cottage Blogger. The Bayers who run CB, are starting up a new membership website, so I liked their new facebook page out of interest and to show support. I don't really know what it's about, haven't time to investigate and suspect it's all very US centric.
Well having showed the tiniest flicker of interest, despite no intention of signing up to a paid membership, I've had a facebook friend request, am getting email countdowns from them both, telling me how I'll miss out if I don't sign up for lifetime membership now, as the cost will go up and up from here on in. The sort of sales tactic I detest quite frankly.
Anyway I was just interested if anyone else had looked into it?

Same as you Nemo. I've been signed up to Cottage Blogger for a long time, though I don't read or listen to a lot of stuff there - but I've been completely shocked by the heavy handed and in-your-face selling techniques used by Heather and Mike on this. Especially the email that began "Frankly I'm a little surprised ...". Well, frankly I'm a little surprised too. I'd have thought better of them.
It seems that everyone's trying to get in on the 'I know how to market my vacation (sic) rental better than anyone else so I'm going to become your guru while you pay me lots of dosh' game - Matt Landau and his Inner Circle, Heather and Mike, and someone else who I can't remember but I think is this side of the Atlantic. Yuck.
