I have never really explored providing a subscription service properly, as the one time I did create a subscription service, I had to close it down after a month or so due to me not being able to spend the time to run it.

And there lies the problem - a subscription takes time to manage and run. It's not like an AIS where you can simply sell a product and that's the end of it.

However, the plus side is that a subscription service means ongoing income each and every month - as well as the opportunity to upsell products and services.

With this in mind, I have once again, started up a new subscription service in order to see the potential as well as learn a little bit about the type of people who would subscribe.

I've priced it cheaply at just $10 per month, and I estimate I will be spending around 2 to 3 hours per month actually providing the service (a couple of templates per month). I also intend to provide good bonuses (purchased resell rights of scripts and graphics and so on) each month as well, so really need around 25 subscribers to break even…

If you have not already guessed, the subscription service is aimed at users of the Smarticle Site Building Program. I'll update you all in a month, so that you can see how it goes.
