Some people hate membership sites
Some people hate paypal
Some people will ONLY use paypal
Patreon has the ability to do a per episode, or a monthly setup.
Memberships sites require you to keep on making new content (that's why I love digital access pass as their drip feature ROCKS)
Don't build on rented property.
You need to ask for the sale no matter where you go.
Membership sites are not entirely set it and forget it

Can I Use the Spreaker RSS for iTunes?[27:28]
You can, but I don't recommend it but I don't recommend them. There is no way to redirect your feed in the event that you want to move away from Spreaker. There are some new settings for the RSS feed in your control panel. I prefer you have your own website and use your Wordpress RSS, or your media hosting (that allows you to redirect) like Libsyn.com or Blubeey.com (use the coupon sopfree to get a free month at either site).
