What would YOU pay for your own subscription site? +what options would you need?
SuperPhoto:
Seeing as certain agencies are trying to "force" the bigger ones in a race to the bottom through a subscription model (and seem to forget what made them BIG was the contributors contributing content)...
What would you pay for your own subscription site? IF you had an easy to use/plug & play solution?
(Also - by 'plug & play' - I don't mean a wordpress plugin. I mean something where *literally* all you have to do is upload your assets, and enter your payment information, and then start marketing - unless you want that included too).
a) Images? Video?
b) $29/month? $59/month? $99/month? More? Less?
c) Features you'd want?
d) What would you pay for 'marketing' of your content?
e) What is your portfolio size? (100 items? 1000? 10000?)
I'm thinking a good solution to the "content crisis" was if individual authors could manage their own content, and collect 100% of the fees for their work.
Not only would it help stop the race to the bottom (simply because the "mega" agencies would receive significantly less new content), but it would help make authors feel more in control of their work, and not have to undermine their own efforts.
What are your thoughts?

a) Who says it doesn't work? (I've heard it mentioned here before from those who said it didn't work for them, never really looked at it. But I am sure there are some people it does work for).
b) If it didn't work for you - what specifically was "wrong" about it that you would need to be "right" in order for it to work for you?

Here we go again. About once a month someone has this great idea.

What was “wrong” is that buyers don’t care about looking at an individual’s site. Those that have niche content that is very valuable already have a way to sell.
