People LIKE recurring memberships... if you offer non-recurring vs. recurring, far more people select the recurring - for a reason! Just like if you offer a scene/dvd for sale, super cheap and below that put a recurring membership to access everything - almost everyone selects the membership over a single item.

....... take a 2 hour seminar, toss it online for free. Sell the same seminar (or others) for $2 per download and zero people will buy it - maybe one guy... but if you offer a $20 a month membership to access "just the next video" not even the archive - more people buy it.

2 = shit
20 = value
I can not argue with experience doc. But I know there is a huge untapped market that micro payments possibly could open outside of the traditional porn market. Whomever can put the pieces together will make bank. I have looked into it for 3rd world webcams and the fees make it impossible to offer the product ad make a decent lick. I am sure the prices will fall as they always do and the opportunity will be there.
