My personal two cents on Rainmaker is that I'm not convinced this is a
good deal for any business owner. I was kind of excited to see
Copyblogger doing Rainmaker... until I saw that all it was ended up
being a Genesis site, with a couple of tools thrown in, for a
recurring subscription fee.
That's smart for /them/, but that's not necessarily cheap for their users.
I don't remember exactly what their deal is - whether they provide
hosting or not, but I think they do, which means that part of the cost
of Rainmaker goes to hosting fees. ($30). The rest is just a
fork-it-over-and-pay subscription, and as Sven pointed out, there are
limitations as well.
So the question is: what value do you get out of using Rainmaker? Does
it have some cool tool you can't do without? Does it have a specific
feature that makes life super-easy for you? Does it have something
that a regular Genesis site doesn't have? Does it increase your
ability to earn revenue? What KIND of tools does it give you that
help you expand and monetize?
For sure, the monthly cost of Rainmaker is a business write-off. BUT,
why not buy hosting with WPEngine or WebSynthesis at $30 a month, then
buy a StudioPress theme ($100, one-shot deal) and use that? To me, it
seems a better route than Rainmaker, because you own the platform, and
all you're paying for is hosting, with no restrictions on plugins.
That's just my two cents, though! :)

How much does it cost this special deal per month?

Thanks, Emil :-)
Yes, it's Rainmaker. A special deal for Authority Members with a
14-days trial.
Awesome stuff but u can't use 3-party plugins. Which I think is
pretty good when you are forced to not overload your blog with a
ton of plugins.
So far it works great and easy. Plus, I could cancel Scribe now
because it's included in Rainmaker...
I think I keep the account :-)

Dear fellow padawan,
I've got a message from the Master to you:
"A very good job you did! Excellent this site looks!"
(Master Yoda)
Is it running on Rainmaker platform? Did you had a special
offer as a copyblogger subscriber for the newrainmaker?
Because otherwise for me it seemed to be a bit too expensive?
Are you pleased with it? This is another thing I try for some
time to set up properly, meaning a well working Wordpress
environment (framework, optimized and flexible enough themes,
good design options, etc.)
Cheers,
Emil

It´s just the construct. These days I´ll fine-tune it.
Have a great day,
Sven
