What are you offering that’s actually worth paying for? (1 Viewer)

Hello, I'm Al.

If you strip away ads (pointless), sponsorships (pipe-dream), and affiliate links (spam), you’re left with the direct ask: “pay to support the site.” That only works if you’re offering something people care about. So what’s your value? Is it a tight-knit community, custom content, access to devs, early posts, something else? Let’s be blunt: what are you offering that actually justifies payment?

Monetising a forum is a tough call. Direct support is probably the most effective way. But how do you justify taking the hard earned cash from your users?
 
Trying my best to avoid all of that. Right now I charge FREE for everything and I don't ask for donations and never an ad.

I cant justify it at all. I imagine that if bandwidth needs increase substantially, then I will have to (carefully) figure something out that wont be off putting to my members or guests.
