I have a niche paysite.

I have around a dozen movies so far, about an hour in length each broken into 5 minute segments.

Since it looks to me like the majority of my members have cable or dsl, members tend to join, download the whole site, and then cancel the recuriing. Then they come back a couple months later and join and get the new batch.

To try to maximize profit, I have been rotating the content. This tends to loose the rebills too, as they look around and don't see all that much.

To try for better retention, I am programming a member's "ticket system". The way this works is, the member gets a menu of all the movies avaialble. Then they can get up to 4 "tickets" a month to watch 4 1 hour movies, whichever ones they want.

The way I have programmed it so far, I track forever their "tickets" so retaining members can watch as many times as they want past movie selections, but get only an average of 1 a week of new movies.

I'm about ready to go live with this.

Any downsides anybody can think of? Seems like it will make the sufers happy, but I'd be intrested in hearing opinions.
