That's the example pg gave about InPulse. And hell it worked great.

My bad, totally missed it. A better clarification on my part would have been "sell early access to a mailing list via monthly subscription which becomes a monthly subscription product".

If there was a beta available, all the better.

Either way, the customer knows exactly what they're getting into.
