Jon - The fee sounds like a good idea overall, as long as is reasonable. I'd definitely pay around $5-10/mo for access (discounts for multi-month/year in advance subscription?), but $25/mo seems steep, even though I have gotten a ton of helpful information here. Keep in mind that even charging high prices won't keep the n00b/dp crowd out of here; After all, who buys those $97-497 affiliate/adwords ebooks & courses?

I think I figured it out, though - as long as you don't end the prices in 7s, the n00bs won't buy!

You can charge...but it goes against what forums are really about. I would rather make registration mandatory to view the board. That way everyone who's already here, some who've been since day one, get to stay. And, it means a lot less unregistered "guests" rolling through the hood...unless you need the money

Oh, I have a positive cashflow, no problem there. I just need to implement some of what I have seen HERE. Have other stuff that works ok so far.

No one seems to want to buy my "Two Digit Secret" ebook though...

Here's a line by paragraph take on Jon's persuasion techniques:

Quote:
I've decided to go this route due to yet another crackdown by large social networking sites. FaceBook this time. Myspace last time. Government many times. Shady networks trying to spam our members behind our backs. Lame newbies trying to get something for nothing.
This is the old good guy/bad guy with a rescue attempt in there aka the hurt and rescue.

The bad guys are EVIL Facebook, bureaucratic Myspace, and secret Government. Oh yeh and those lame newbies trying to get something for nothing.

But don't be afraid.

Good guy Jon comes in for the rescue, ahhh. That makes me feel much better. BTW, can I pay for that? Heres my $25 for coming in and rescuing me from the evil networks!

Quote:
I'm tired of it. I miss the old quality of WickedFire. I miss the bash-a-thons. I miss just shooting the shit and having fun.
Here we have a case of association: a positive association with the "good old WickedFire" that had quality, bash-a-thons and having fun. Awww, buy it is ok you can still have these old feelings if you pay $25 a month!

Quote:
The paid area will be cheap too. Most likely a low monthly fee. $25 or less. Or maybe a one time annual recurring fee.
Quote:
I want to get rid of our dependency on the large banner ads on top, and allow users to buy ad space here and use it for fun or to market their services for cheeeap.
Here we have the negotiating tactic of "empty promises" - that is promises with a certain wishy-washy qualifier such as "may be", "most likely" and vague statements.

Notice the absence of absolutes: never, always and so on.

Suggesting the possibility of cheaper marketing in the future, and buying ad space on the forum makes paying for the forum much easier to swallow. TAKE MY MONEY JON!!

Well I am done looking but I am sure there are a ton more in the post.

$25 is nothing! If you used 10% of the knowledge on this forum you would be making that each hour

My beef is why is the navigations still at the top? Newswire, Education etc.. Clearly thats a fallen dream of Jons..

Blackhat forum is doing prety well with a whopping $100 subscription fee.. Paid WF will result in quality content shared

Im for it

*yes, im back from the dead*

Can I please just clarify one point please?

If I'm reading it correctly, as of the 1st of October signature links will only be allowed for paying members?

Think my auction might be dead.

Already refreshing to see snap decisions instituted...or with a short timeframe.

Why not just wait and see.
If you've been contributing and are an asset, you should be recognized.

If not, just move elsewhere.

Pretty simple equation isn't it?

-
On the question of membership fees, imposing a subscription weeds out the weak and the freebie seekers.

more important than what you PAY, is what you will get out of it (eg. VALUE).

If you're paying $100/month and you use that info and make an extra $1,000/month from that, the $100 is cheap by comparison.

If you're paying $5/month and you get shit-all for it, it's still $5 down the drain...

Once subscription is levied, there're expectations of higher quality and I'm sure there should be more in the plans than just paying $$$ to have a private place to talk.

If there's additional content/software/tools or other useful shit coming with the subscription, the fees make sense...
