Today, I want to chat to you about the memberships, what I have to offer on Aussie English, and I want to clear up any confusion that there is. So, I just received one e-mail from a subscriber to TheAussieEnglishPodcast.com and there seems like there was a bit of confusion. The person didn’t understand that it is a monthly membership. You pay each month, right. If you get the monthly membership, the one that is currently $4.99/month, every month you are charged automatically when you sign up, okay. And there’s obviously a six-month membership where you are charged every six months, and there’s the 12-month membership where you were charged every twelve months. And unfortunately, this person was quite annoyed and angry suggesting that I had tricked them and was automatically taking this money from them. It’s not that I’m tricking you guys. I’m not trying to be dishonest. It explicitly says on the sales page that it is a $4.99 membership every single month. So, I just wanted to make this episode to clarify the different memberships that I have, why I have them, and that they are automatic payments, right. So, when you guys sign up to these things, whether it’s a monthly membership, six months, a yearly membership, you’re entering your details in to a plug in that I have on my web site and it deals with these transfers automatically. It’s not me personally taking this money from you, okay. This is all automatically done through these programs on the web site. So, why do I have two different memberships? The podcast one, the Aussie English Podcast membership, was to give people access to all the transcripts for every single episode on the podcast, as well as the MP3s so that they can download and listen to these episodes anywhere, any time on their computers, on their phones, which they can already do if they use a podcast app, but some people wanted the actual MP3 to be able to have on their computer, open up, and write and, I don’t know, I guess, change, listen to, slow down, whatever they wanted to do with it. But then also, I had a lot of people asking for written transcripts for every single podcast episode. Now, initially, I wasn’t… I wasn’t writing out the transcript for every episode, because it takes a lot of time. I was doing it for the expression episodes, and then sometimes for the interview episodes, but it requires a lot of time to listen to audio that is 15, 30, 60 minutes long sometimes, sometimes longer, and write out every single word that is said. So, it would usually take 45 minutes for a 15-minute episode, three hours for a one-hour episode. So, I needed to pay someone else to do this. So, that is why there is the Aussie English Podcast membership. When you sign up to this for the price of $4.99 a month at the moment, so like 1 coffee a month, you get access to every single podcast episode that comes out now with the MP3 and the transcript that you can then download and read, listen to, anywhere anytime,
