I can see your concerns, most of which are of course valid. A lot of people failed doing this kind of thing, though there were a lot of failures during a time when the internet clearly was not ready for that kind of thing in general. Nowadays, thanks to people like Rupert Murdoch the thought of paying for something gets at least a little attention (I do not think that news content is suitable for this approach). The companies we will focus on are providers of exclusive content or services, many of which already sell their stuff using the freemium model. I am not saying that all of these will embrace micropayment, but I am saying that there are a lot of people worried about improving their conversion rate. If the lowest option you offer a customer for buying stuff is a 20$ monthly membership, of course you lose a lot of them. Being able to easily acquire small payments, whole models could chance. As to your second concern, the whole point of this post is being agile, to get customer feedback before everything is set in stone. We do not want to impose our great idea, currently we have a basic understanding of how a simple and flexible solution could look like, and would like to validate our approach with the help of some cooperators.
