If you ask people to pay, expectations will go up... sometimes its bad enough for free content; when people are paying, I think it will get even worse.
If you are selling plenty of videos, your main question is how much it costs you to take the pictures and host them. If you're not "breaking even" when you combine all your still & video costs relative to the video sales, you might want to think about a pay site. Just don't underestimate the amount of "free stuff" you have to offer to keep the interest level up and the sales continuing. If the video sales are covering the costs of all your still work, I'd say leave things as they are.
It may be cliche, but it is wisdom: "don't mess with success".

In reply to Message (6335) I am about to make a big decision!
By leonmoomin - leonmoomin@ntlworld.com Fri 10/10/03 22:00:17 GMT Website: www.madfountains.com/fullyclothed I currently have enough hi-res pictures to start a pay site with regular updates!
The problem is, I am a great believer in keeping my pictures free! If they are free, everyone gets to see them.
So my choices are:
1. Start a paysite and put all my new pictures and some clips in there, updating every 2 weeks!
2. Keep the pictures free and update "Fully Clothed" every two weeks with FREE hi-res pictures! The idea of which being that LOADS of people are drawn to this site regularly and wamtec and I sell LOADS of videos, I would also wish to have loads and loads of feedback.
These are two choices I have, I want some very honest opinions here! No screwing around!
I am sure that everyone will say free pictures, but do you really think it will improve our sales enough that it would make the same cash as a paysite?
