Never to see mySQL Errors again
no Honestly I have been giving thought to this and perhaps in the near future when things change in the next month or so there will be new opportunity to create value added areas that people may wish to pay for. Perhaps a "code" or "file" locker. I was also thinking of perhaps a way to create incentive for people to make solutions and make it inexpensive then when others pay to down load it money goes to the developer and we get a small percentage. A win-win situation.
Perhaps I will commission josh and throw in the paypal mod as well. Make it simple and painless but some how uncover the fine line that makes it profitable.
I am curious about your situation you allow people to have xx mb of storage and charge them a fee but at the same time your also increasing your hosting requirements in order to offer these services. At some point you would have to increase your plan to get more bandwidth or storage thus increasing your monthly cost and in turn reducing the margin of profit. - Where is the break even point. Also the management of setting up email accounts and ftp accounts etc.
I have been reading other post on this topic the pros and con of advertisers contributions vs member paid value added services. There is no clear cut answer.
I guess the ol' saying is true... you can please some of the people all of the time all of the people some of the time but never all of the people all of the time.
I guess I am on the quest for the middle ground.
I really appreciate if I can get more of this type of feed back feel free to sound off and tell me pros and cons what has worked and hasn't worked.
Thanks
