Iāve been running this site as a āmemberā supported site since July of 2012. Thatās what I call my subscription based, paywall model, a member-site. Iāve tried a lot of different methods to what I charge for, over the years, so I know a thing or two about subscriptions. Iām not selling software, but the consumer mindset on most any recurring payment is similar across the aisles. Iām sure Amazon could tell you some amazing stories about people being unwilling to use āSubscribe and Saveā, but we are going to have to wait awhile for that TED talk.
Some interesting thoughts on diminishing returns and subscription pricing for personal blogs and related content.
