Mediajunk, an internet consulting service explains why the subscripions model is no longer viable. These days you have to make your web services free. Why? Because if you don’t, someone else will – eventually.
Web Services Will Be Free – mediajunk
A bold prediction: many (if not all) of the web services that we currently pay for will soon be offered free.
Two warnings: 1. Your website will need significant numbers of visitors before an advertising-based model becomes workable
2. You have to build a brand, and fast.
