helen Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 It's tricky one Sunny. To be honest the high activity on your site (& it is a brill site -well done!) at the moment is mostly due to Mika's sudden rise to success & high media profile . Whilst you will allways retain some loyal fans, you will probaly find that the activity tails off after the first few months max & then a fee may put people off (have you looked into whether other sites charge a fee?). I would think that advertising is your best bet even though pop-ups are very irritating they do generate much needed funds. Take the enthusaism of those willing to pay a fee at the moment with a pinch of salt - the reality may be different. Good luck with the future of the website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny Monkey Posted February 15, 2007 Author Share Posted February 15, 2007 Thanks for that. All going through my head already. Many other sites charge. U2, Jackson, etc etc Much higher fees, even now. Â At the moment it is my hope that I will never have to charge.

Ocean_Fairy Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I'll pay for nothing! This forum is the best, friendly and well-run I've ever been on but I would love maybe a badge or a memebership card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with the future of the website  I have seen sites where the two options are combined - but don't know how easy it is to do technically. So there is advertising and pop ups for those who don't mind and who don't want to pay. But for those who pay a small fee you get to view the site free of ads. Personally I would be happy to pay a small fee. I would rather pay annually than be bothered with monthly.  I think it's a great site and has attracted a very unique and friendly lot of fans. Although the comon bond is obviously Mika, I think that this has the potential to become the type of internet community that I would regularly visit to chat about non-Mika things too.

Just getting a general feeling "just in case" FYI folks, I was looking up info yesterday about The Police tour announced this week. There's a subscription-based website that's been set up JUST for the tour info - remember this bit, it's not a general Police fan site. It offers members regular newsletters, merchandise discounts, advanced ticket booking, etc. etc. I thought it would be good to know about advanced ticket sales so clicked through to find out more.  Wait for it... $100!!!!  I want to go, but I think I'll wait a day longer for my tickets and sit a bit further back!

Cautionary Wife Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Try this page to register for advance info about ticket sales for "The Police". It's free. http://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/artist/953901/?search_redirect=The%20Police&tm_link=tm_header_search  Once you have an account on there, you can add to your personalised list of performers you wish to be informed about when concerts coming up.  Mika doesn't appear to be available on that facility as yet - but I would imagine he will be fairly soon as there is no doubt his success will continue.  There's usually more than one place to get advance ticket info - sometimes you can register with Radio Stations which will do this, who may issue passwords to access presale, of which there might be more than one.  CW.

Â If it was a combined site, maybe those who paid could be VIP members, and privvy to advance info, etc? I agree about the annual fee too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny Monkey Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 Ok, after having slept on this I am thinking  1) Large ads for guests 2) Small ads for registered members (as you currently are) 3) No ads and a load of extra features and bits for paid VIPs  Your thoughts please  Sunny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
