A site like Reality Kings could easily pitch it as: We have over 2,000 exclusive scenes you can buy any of those scenes for $2 each and keep them forever. Or, you an pay $XX per month and get full access to all of them, plus we updated every single day with new scenes. When shown the value in that way it makes it seem like a good deal.

When Avril Lavgine first came out you could buy her single "Complicated" for $1, but the label really wanted to push her so for a limited time they offered her full album for just $5. A lot of people opted to spend the other $4 and get the full album.
