Re: Premium Membership Poll - Your thoughts please

Just my 2 cents.

Its not easy to take a yearly membership out, the subscription payment and how to find it isnt intuiative, its as though the forum doesnt really want the membership money.

I think the membership fee is too cheap, its as though the forum doesnt understand its real value. The discount is ok, but its not a good enough reason for me to join. The forums real value is its collective knowledge. If I want real life information on a specialist subject I am prepared to pay for it. £10 is neither here nor there, its £4.50 for a decent cup of coffee.

My suggestion is let new members get value out of it, but restrict access to certain parts of the forum, hobby decorators dont need to know business type information for example. If members want to glean information for commercial purposes then they need to pay for it. Learning how to produce quality results consistently costs money. If they want a real life product review then they should pay for that information, how much does buying inferior cheaper equipment actually cost?

Ive been fortunate, I couldnt have built the business I have without the internet. If I had been born 30 years earlier it would have cost me a small fortune to learn what I have learned for practically nothing and I would have most probably failed because I would have run out of cash trying to find the right kit and production method.

3 tier membership, free, £10(5% supplier discount) and say (for arguments sake) £50 for access to the most beneficial stuff ie the info that helps you make/save more money (10%+ supplier discount- if they cant afford £50 they wont be buying much of anything from anyone.)
