Not interested in "content" schemesPosted By Dan Cook |
Herb, I'm surprised and a bit disappointed that you're looking to waste money on "content." What a botomless money pit. Content far superior to anything you'll ever be able to afford with your subscribers money is already available on innumerable other websites. In my opinion you will never have the slightest chance of competing with that and will just be wasting your and your subscriber's money if you try. Personally I come here for ONE reason only. To buy and sell astronomy related equipment.
If you honestly want to spend money, please spend it on upgrading the website software to current web standards. That's long overdue.
Also, your planned pricing as you have currently expressed it has the appearance of being bizantine, scheming, punative and petty minded (which is as kindly and generously as I can put it). You'd do far better by just charging a small fee for signup plus a small fee per add placement and leave it at that.
After the year is up, I'll likley continue on as a subscriber, but maybe not as a supporter. I don't wish to support a content boondoggle.
