tedster: I am currently running a survey on what people are paying for, how they pay for it, what they want. I got about 800 answers in the first 10 days.

They have also indicated that if I set up affiliate programs with the popular shopping sites, to support mine, they're likely to buy from my site (remains to be seen, users mean 10 different things when answering a survey).

How does one explain to the users that "just because its on the net" its free?

I'm also looking for some sort of micro-payment scheme, specially if it integrate international credit cards. Say 1% of the viewers would pay a dollar a month to support the site, its about US$2000 extra. :)
