:2cents How to set PRICE, which must members pay to access PAYSITE?

How to set PRICE, which must members pay to access PAYSITE?

If you running pub and selling food, you will probably calculate price of food something as:
price of incomes (food, energies, salaries) multiplicate it by the typical 2 (in my country) and multiplicate it by the tax and you will get the final price.

Bot how to set price in the paysite for the members:
income prices are:
a) server month fee (100 - 300 USD)
b) content licence fee (50-200 USD for month and beginning)
c) your time
d) used software for content management, watching of not sharing passwords, your PC,...

But it showing me, that is NO difference in the biggest or smallest paysite membership price, and THIS PRICE NOT change from the 1996 too.

It's 30-35 USD/ month from the fucking 1996 and if someone building only small payseti, he/she set little lower price as is 25 USD.

So my questions:

a) How the fuck set the membeship per month price, what about:
35€ / month
77€ / 3 months

b) What about all this 34,99, 34,97 and other fucking not rounded and normal price, does it have some influence?

So:
34,97€ / month
OR
35€ / month

Little idea: if is some dangerous, that some "wife" may read your card statement, isn't better to sell for some totally crazy price as is 41,74€, so ever man may answer, that he bought some crap tools from it...

c) Sales

What about sales, if I will do, for example, -50 percent christmas sale (sure only for the initial fee, NOT for the rebill...) will be all peoples which bought in november pissed off, and all peoples in january will call for the prolonging of the sale? Or will some super savers group of peoples wait for the your other sale and not buy?

BTW does this sales working? If you will do sale, does it at least double number of sign ups?

How you doing sales? For example you offering in sales some NEW day period as is $1 for 1 day, or you putting regular time period (1 month, 3 months) price down?

d) I do NOT like $1 trials, it's like selling it for free. And I do NOT like NOT rebills options too, rebills rocks, Im lazy whale and this is nice stable income... What you mean?

e) FUCK FUCK and FUCK, dolar don't have same value as in the 1996, inflation going forward like train, why we still selling this shit for only 35 bucks, this is simply crazy .

THX for your advices, I know, that the best think what i may do, is to set price and test it on the traffic, but I need some "starter" kick-ass... ;)
