The sign of the times will be that most of the old school program owners and webmasters make way for a new breed of people with a completely different approach to the game. How many years will this industry watch sales slip and keep doing the same tired shit or even stupid shit like lowering / raising the price in a range where the price doesn't matter?

You are right that $40 to $30 or even $20 won't make a big difference in sales, but it will in rebills somewhat. That however is not my point. Selling memberships to worn out porn sites for any $ per month will be a thing of the past. Even if laws change and tubes can be shut down they will simply all pop up offshore. Now that everyone sees how much money they can make it's too late.

People in this industry like to throw around the old "adapt or die" phrase, but nobody is adapting. Sad as it is the anarchist in my has me watching in awe.

Increasing the value of your product over time is bad ass marketing... you should increase the value of your content over time.

It will make no difference in sales or rebills volume. You can charge $10 you aren't getting more sales.. and if you did, you aren't getting 3 times the sales, ever.

The money difference in the higher charges, will offset any increase it would have anyway, by astounding amounts.
