<p>Once upon a time I wrote an open source package that makes it easy to create choropleth maps in R. I called the package choroplethr.</p>
<p>Then I created a free email course to teach people how to use the software. That course is called <em>Learn to Map Census Data in R</em>, and it is the most popular thing that I’ve ever published.</p>
<p>People who took that course asked me a lot of questions about choroplethr. So I created a separate course for them. That course is called <em>Mapmaking in R with Choroplethr</em>. It sold for $99 and was very popular. Here’s an image from that course</p>

<p>People who took that course wound up having a lot of questions too. In particular, they wanted to learn how to work with shapefiles. So I made a separate course for them: <em>Shapefiles for R Programmers</em>. That course also sold for $99 and was well received. Here’s an image from that course:</p>

<h3>Today you can buy both courses for $1 (a $197 savings)</h3>
<p>Last week I decided to stop offering the courses for individual sale, and instead make them part of my new membership.</p>
<p>The membership normally costs $49 a month. But to celebrate this change, I have decided to offer a 1 month trial for only $1. This offer ends Thursday, September 1.</p>
<h3>Why are you bundling the courses with the membership site?</h3>
<p>Because the membership provides a better environment for learning.</p>
<p>In addition to the courses, the membership has a forum where you can ask questions, and bi-monthly live office hours where we can discuss the courses and other questions that you have.</p>
<h3>Can I ask other questions in the membership?</h3>
<p>Absolutely.</p>
<p>The membership exists to help people create, publish and profit from R projects. Anything related to that theme is fair game.</p>
<h3>Will you be creating more courses in the future?</h3>
<p>That’s the plan. And they will be added to the membership library. In that sense, the value of the membership will increase over time.</p>
<p>Like before, I will decide the topic for new courses based on feedback from members / people who took previous courses.</p>
<h3>How can I learn more?</h3>
