If a blog has unique, informative and useful content then it is not bad to pay for to read it. Content is the only thing that makes a blog interesting to read.

Even they are in trouble, premium wise, with all the free stuff popping up everywhere.

Dennis stole my thunder a little bit because I was also going to say there was someone who’s a fairly big name who tried that for awhile, lost readers, and came back to the normal model. He also tried writing only a paragraph or so and wanted to charge people to read the rest of it.

It’s an interesting question that I’m not sure there’s a great answer for. I subscribe to the NY Times online, and I know that when they push through their paid model I won’t be subscribing anymore because I can get almost everything they write on elsewhere. Same goes for other news sources, where Rupert Murdoch (just got a shiver writing his name) says that within a couple of years all news sources online will be pay sites since newspapers are losing their subscribers. If we’re not going to pay for online news, then we’re probably not going to pay to read blogs.

However, you did touch upon something else, that being things such as paid membership sites that offer extensions of material one specifically wants to learn or know more about. That’s probably going to be the way to go.

The word Premium and Internet aren’t very popular to be honest. The only premium people actually pay for on the internet is porn. Its a true fact.

Reall interesting post. It’s so true the comment about not wanted to pay. Seriously, young entrepreneurs today and people ages 20-25 don’t want to pay for anything and that is why we need to innovative and reinvent the wheel

At some point I suspect most of my writing will go fully paid.

I have the chops for it. Credentials too.

Proving that I can build a popular audience as well as analyze discrete element methodology for numerical integration instability has to be worth something, don’t you think?

These are two very different styles of writing, to be sure.

I’ve been tempted once or twice to pay for a subscription to Stratfor, but that’s a global intelligence network with analysts positioned around the world. But no, I don’t think I’d pay for any blogs (not even my own!) I think the free content model works best for 99.9% of writers, and the only exception would have to be some kind of huge team effort that offers a kind of content that no one else really does.
