I use to come to Fakku for Years, and my Book shelf has grown cuss of Fakku. Now that I'm unable to Preview the Manga. I'm picky on what I put on my shelf, I'm gonna have to move on to sight that has not gone to a high-priced "pay-site" to help fill my book shelf.
I know running a website takes $$ I get this. But the monthly fee is a bit step, ($12.95) per member. Lots do some numbers. Lower the "Member(s)" user "Fee" to a vary low the amount its more appling to people. Lots take ($1.00 a month fee.) have 500 members thats $500.00 a month ruining a website dos not cause that much, ....Now you have a 1000 members thats $1000.00 month thats a Good bit of money to run the site. Now at the current Fee of $12.95
Memmber = $money scale
1 = 12.95
2 = 25.90
10= 129.50
50= 647.50
100= 1,295.00
500= 6,475.00
1000= 12,950.00
How much money are you maken relay? And how much coud make with lower fee that more "frugal" person will be more willing to pay a user Fee. when it seems cheap.at($1.00)
1= $1.00 per month just starting
50= $50.00 per month
100= $100.00 per month a few members
5000= $5,000.00 per month
10000= $10,000.00 per month wow look at that
500,000= $500,000.00 per month
1,000,000= $1,000,000.00 per month something to think about.
Hope you can see what I'm trying to get at, Your site's fans will stands behind you a lot more by not being greedy.
Sry for flameing but this how I feel, about the change.
Something that low would not be feasible. You're not factoring in any factors other than price points.
$3 - CCbill fees per transaction. So it already can't be less than $4 or they're literally working for free.
Wani and the artists want a share of the money.
Fakku has to pay their employees who also get benefits such as healthcare.
Let's say at the very least, they're paying minimum wage (9.25)
They've stated before that there are 12 full-time employees, which costs ~17.8k a month minus benefits.
Server costs.
People are leaving in droves, they have to compensate that in the price or they won't have money to consider other ventures.
