Here’s a presentation I made yesterday at the Fazeley Digital event. It’s intentionally provocative – and I’m sure you’re intelligent enough to read the real points I’m making here. Anyway, comments welcome.

Interesting points. But the ’sell services’ or broker model looks more like PR and less like journalism.
Thanks Alain – I’m not talking about selling journalism services or brokering journalism services, but selling services to the audience that gather around the journalism – in the way that Flickr sell premium services to a small proportion of its users or Facebook sell virtual gifts – or brokering between users, in the way StockXchg or Threadless do. Obviously this isn’t clear from the presentation without me talking over it.
Thank you Paul. The Flickr ‘freemium’ model is definitely an interesting one for media. Some are taking their chances at it, with ideas like charging small fees for archives consultation. It does look like future to me.
I think the main reason for charging for archive access is that it’s hard to sell advertising against it.
interesting presentation. But, what do you mean for “acting as a broker”?
See my comment above – basically: users buy from users, and the site takes a cut.
I’ve started to see examples of this latter already. One of the home theater news/review sites I frequent now charges users to place ads for selling their used gear. I guess the eBay model is the other method of doing that (percentage of sale).
I found your post informative, helpful, and easy to follow.
You have got my best recommendation on this.
Keep this coming!
wow.. very nice info at this post thanks!!!
I think to make money from content, you need exposure and this cannot come without a good audience base. As rightly pointed out by you, customers are not stupid to pay for something that is hard to find…

Thanks for that article, very interesting to read (like all your postings).
I agree to a point. I think you can make money from content online but you have to offer something exceptional that cannot be found elseware on the web. This isn’t possible with all niches.
