Topic: I wish to trial a content subscription system with BTC for media content - page 2. (Read 2223 times)

A couple of questions...
1)  Why do you call it a subscription when the only option is life-time access?  I'd call that something more along the lines of a membership.  To me, a subscription is something that you pay for on a regular basis, and access is revoked upon non-payment.
2)  What kind of content are you offering, and why do you believe anyone would be interested in paying for it?
3)  Are you building a service that other people can offer their goods through as well?

Any feedback to offer guys?

Also keep your eyes peeled and subscribe to this thread for further developments.

In about 2 weeks time there will be a chance for beta testers to try out the content delivery system. The first round of testing will be limited to 5 people.

There's a bonus in store for people who are looking to try things out at this stage:
1.A lifetime subscription rate of just 0.35BTC (reduced from 1BTC typical one-off payment for a lifetime subscription) for access to all content produced under the brand Dream Islands Publishing.
2.This entitles you to an automatic entry in the Dream Islands lottery here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/dream-islands-lottery-win-up-to-20btc-jackpot-67511  (PM me so I can give a ticket number to you and also to take me up on this testing offer)

Who's interested in testing this out with the perks offered? I really want to improve the way I can distribute paid content via BTC to end users and customers.

To take me up on the testing,PM me so I can accept payment,issue you a ticket number (lottery) and a passcode to access the content made available so far.

Helpful hint:If you are a newbie and can't post here but are interested in taking part in testing this out,please just PM me and we'll take it from there 

Thanks for that gorgo1. Wow the Times really love ripping you off for memberships that don't even last a lifetime.

I'm keeping an eye on this thread as I'm interested in seeing how this develops.I look forward to this being in action.The price is amazing compared to this:  https://mynews.secure.force.com/webjourney/webj_subscription?url=http%253A%252F%252Fwww.thesundaytimes.co.uk%252Fsto%252Fnews%252Fuk_news%252FTech%252Farticle1007220.ece

I hope you succeed film2240 so I can have access to great value media with a wider range of content that the media in my home country

I am working on a content subscription system that will give the paying person access to all paid-for content on my blog (that was created under the brand-Dream Islands Publishing).
At the moment I plan to make this a one off fee for a lifetime membership as the BTC protocol and system isn't really designed to handle monthly subscriptions like the Direct Debit system is in the UK.

Here's what I hope to achieve:
1.A one-off fee that give's a lifetime acess to all content that is produced (that's paid for)
2.A straightforward system for everyone to manage,signup to and understand.
3.The content delivery shall have a diverse range of content (this means written articles,videos,sounds,images and perhaps even some items I create that can be licensed in other people's works)
4.A simply step system which goes something like this: person sends payment to me > the person then PMs me asking for a pass (code) to grant access to paid for subscription) and all content for this) > easy access to all content paid for by lifetime subscription > job done
5. A 1 BTC one off fee for life for every member.This beats (nearly all) media subscriptions and magazines in most of the world. (and real life-look at subscriptions in the UK and you'll see what I mean)
6.A recognisable brand for this service that people can understand and later come to trust. (Like Dream Islands Publishing)
7.Later on, once the setup is more established,this will expand to let guest writers get a piece of the pie (funded by making their articles pay-per-view rather than part of the subscription,if people don't feel ready to buy a full subscription yet that is.)

Any feedback will be helpful and please no scammers or trolling as that's not constructive for anyone here. Why make this system? I feel it's high time that Bitcoin be put to more media friendly applications that are also straightforward. I saw how successfull Matthew N Wright was with his magazine subscription: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/pre-order-bitcoin-magazine-quality-control-final-revisions-on-proofs-61017 and I figured if that can take off so can this.

When the trial roll out starts, you'll see an update on here for the first 5 testers who will enjoy a special subscription rate (instead of the usual rate) that will be for life.
