Casual user subscriptions?Casual user subscriptions?Posted Nov 27, 2002 5:10 UTC (Wed) by hyandat (guest, #5740)Parent article: LWN Update I suspect that the reason so few of those visitors are subscribed has to do with them only being interested in the daily news - they don't want what the weekly edition provides. They're only casual browsers to your site, and it seems to me you should be able to talk a few of them into paying money for a better LWN experience. ;-) What if you made that section more customizable to subscribers? Maybe add an option for 'Notify me when news containing one of these keywords is posted' or 'hilight news of these categories' - features to facilitate fast skimming. I suspect a hilighting system would be pretty useful for me, especially if I could get a sidebar tab that does it... And since there's such a huge number of these people, if you could convince 10% of them to pay $2/mo for a 'casual user' subscription... well, that would be something. Just throwing some ideas out.
