Hiya hellpuppy - nice to meetcha :o)
I agree completely - but I also think that we can learn things to do as well as things not to do from the bigger paysite operations.
Do I want to have to upsell the shit outta my members just to make ends meet? no Do I want to have to fool them into joining multiple sites? nope
But I do think offering them 'more for the money' via shared members areas or several small paysites, and trading traffic via exits instead of via my tour/front door - are two tactics the big operations are doing that are helping my bottom line.
There's more, I'm sure - but I was curious how the those in the amateur world are chaging (if at all) to keep up with the tougher climate.
:o)
