Hey guys.

I'm building a sector-specific site in Webflow where I plan to publish 5 or 6 weekly pieces of content. My aim is to build as big an email subscriber base and twitter following as possible, to later monetize, perhaps with a jobs board.

My idea is to give free access to the latest 20 pieces of content. The other content, which could quickly become 100’s of pieces, I want to ask people to leave their email address (and perhaps first name) and subscribe to access.

Firstly, is this a good idea or known pattern?
Secondly, how would I go about doing this with no-code tools connected to Webflow? Would a visitor essentially be ’opening an account’? I kinda just want them to leave a valid email address, validate it, and then they can access the hidden content with that.

Any ideas or pointers, welcome.

    You could definitely do this with no code, however, why wouldn't you use something like Patreon for this?

    You could use Webflow + memberstack
