I'm genuinely proud of this.

It was CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) 2010, and Ron Paul hadn't announced whether or not he was running for president again in 2012.

Every time anyone had asked him, he had answered that he hadn't made a decision.

Well, at CPAC I emceed an event featuring Dr. Paul and Judge Napolitano.

Here was my chance.

No, I wouldn't throw that chance away by coming right out and asking him, because I already knew the answer would be: "I haven't made a decision."

So I threw him a curve ball.

I asked him:

Given the energy and enthusiasm generated by the 2008 campaign, the generation of young people who are now reading Mises and our other greats, and the prospect of perhaps tripling our reach in a second campaign...

...what good reasons can you give us for not doing it?

The place erupted.

And Dr. Paul admitted that he couldn't think of a good answer.

I got him.

Well, I'm playing the same game with you, dear reader.

We all knew it was a good idea for Dr. Paul to run in 2012, but if I asked him straight out, I wouldn't have received a good answer.

So instead I asked: what good reasons can you give me against it?

Same here.

What good reasons are there against having an online business with recurring revenue that comes in month after month -- i.e., a membership, or subscription site -- covering some area you know and/or love?

Well, there obviously aren't any.

So is it that you don't think you can do it?

But as I'll be revealing soon, I'm going to be offering my personal help.

My package of help will consist of:

(1) The Woods Niche Selection Workshop. Go through these materials, which won't take long, and you'll generate some great niche ideas if you don't have one already.

(2) I'll be your first affiliate, which means I'll have a vested interest in helping you succeed. Any members I myself bring in for you, you and I split the dough 50/50. I'll promote your membership to my 213,000+ Twitter followers, my notorious newsletter, and my podcast audience. Gee, think that might bring in a few members?

(3) I'll give you my personal phone number, and you can text me any questions you have for 60 full days. (Limit of one question per day, please.)

(4) I'll hold two live Q&A sessions for everyone who grabs this bonus, and help you with whatever you need.

(5) You can use my phone number to call me for two 30-minute brainstorming sessions.

The only catch is, it can't be a site that is in direct competition with one of my own. Other than that, knock yourself out.

Next week the world's foremost expert on memberships is running his once-a-year, no-pitch, no-cost workshop on how to run a successful membership site.

And now that you're assured that you'll have my help, you can go ahead and register for the workshop at last:
