Relaunch going well
Well - its only been two days but already the new update of the website is going well
Since the new promo video went up its had over 500 downloads in two days. Not bad. And considering that this update only has that video to see - and the next update already has two videos - i hope people will keep coming back and back.
Which leads me on to a debatable point.
I set up this website to try and get a place which hosted the best videos around - for those who like straightjackets and other associated bondage and fetish things. This was two years back - and i purchased server space to test what i coukld do - as this would be my first website and also see what feedback i got - people may hate everything about it for all i know.
Now later this year I have to decide wether to keep the site going or not.
Which is why for now I am trying to get n update every four weeks or so, to test peoples interest once more. And so far so good.
But if I decide to carry the site on I have a potential rethink for the site. I will have to pay out some money to keep a server going for the site, which will cost me money. So how do I fund this. Well one option, and the most obvious is to make part of the site a members only area, and charge for either a single download, or a monthly / yearly membership. I favour the latter.
So - if anybody reads this blog - what would your reaction be to paying for access to my site. If it cost you say £3.00 to £5.00 a month or £30 to £50 a year to join and you were gaurenteed a monthly update with bigger abd better content on the site - would you pay?
Its an interesting debate as in my experience on the web - i pay off and on for certain sites, provided they have updated content, but I chat with a lot of people who use to web to find free things and are against any sort of commercialism on the web.
Well although this may become a members only pay site, any charges would only go towards server costs related to the site.
I would love to hear any feedback on this - either here - or via email
