I firmly believe voluntary support, with a bit of added-value product sales, is the future, either directly to a site or through a service provider or some kind link Kachingle (I don't know if their model will work, but it's a much more promising idea than micropayments). "Free is a right" is, for

Very interesting article. Even more interesting discussion that flowed from it. I'm going to get around this by taking the open source route. The project that I'm working on is going to have a TON of free content and free community interaction. I'm going to be giving away foundational and gene

I looked briefly at indiekarma and like what they are attempting. I personally want to give people a choice - free is great at inviting people in to have a look-see and stay as long as they like. Enabling people to pay is a longer term part of changing the consciousness of buyers. It's for the loya

I like this idea too, Sull. Perhaps all of my free stuff could be part of the whole that would need to be tied into the paid version to have the real nuts in bolts. Make 'em pay for the punchline, or the trick to the trick. You could get the flavor, but not the meal, so to speak. I also lik

I am also a believer in mixing both paid and free content. For example, every month you out a video that requires a payment... maybe it's $5. It obviously helps if this video is somewhat different than your regular shows. What the difference is would be up to you, the producers. But it could be a g

see indiekarma.com for similar approach related to viewing a blog. i had talked to indiakarma about doing an integration with fundavlog.comback in August. it's an interesting approach to micro-payments than can be further developed for media. On 1/28/07, Ron Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >

i'd prefer to make payments over viewing ads often too but when I surveyed my audience the answer was overwhelming: we'll take ads, we don't want to pay; it's too good it should be free so anyone can see it. i didn't offer the choice of two feeds (free with ads or no ads for fee) I went ahead and

Speaking only as a viewer, Id like to be able to make micropayments without thinking about it when watching content. Its hard to get people to pay if there is a lot of simialr stuff out there for free, but my personal hatred of adverts means Id gladly pay to avoid them. Say for example once Youtu
