All I know for sure is that 1) Bruce Holland Rogers is a really nice person and that 2) $10/year is a lot less than $5/month. I guess it all depends on your readership -- how big it is, how deep their pockets are, and so on. I think to myself, $10 a year is affordable. $60 is less so, even though $5/month is basically the cost of a coffee at Starbucks.
What do you want to do? I'm of the opinion that here anyway, in journaling communities, people tend not to pay for the right to read. They love getting stuff for free, though. If you don't have the audience for #5, you might well not have the audience for #1 or #2 either. Or like Dean Wesley Smith does either. Selling work independently is a difficult thing! I'll be all kinds of curious to see what you decide to do, and without any judgment on it either.
