About Subscription Connection The bursting of the Internet bubble and the ensuing economic slowdown brought home to many website publishers the realization that they need to diversify beyond advertising to remain viable. The outcome is the movement called "from free to fee". As we began researching the topic, we quickly realized that much of the discussion revolved around the publishers' needs with little mention of consumers, their needs and their experiences. When we projected these trends, it became clear to us that, while resulting in opportunities for publishers, the widespread growth of "paid content" will create frustration and confusion for consumers. Consumers will create their own personal portal to on-demand, interactive premium content as they become the editors, publishers and producers, assembling content from a variety of sources in their fields of interest, at continually lower subscription cost. However, as they select entertainment, sports, news, health, dating and community content from different sources, they will find few tools to aid them to select, purchase or access. Out of this realization and our own experience, the concept and design for SubscriptionConnection.com was born. Consider this directory as a continually evolving and growing site. Our team's research effort yields most of the larger, better-known sites with paid content, as well as, many of the smaller, more focused specialized content providers. We offer not only information the publishers want you to know but also opinions and evaluations of their success in delivering on their promise by current and past subscribers. To the best of our ability, we locate hard-to-find factual information (like the all-important subscription price options) and distill it into consistently presented subscription profiles. Since more and more sites will add or become paid content sites, our catalogue will continually grow. Our vision is for SubscriptionConnection to become The Subscriber's Home, the one resource you need to evaluate, compare, select, purchase, access and manage this portfolio of online paid content, the place "where the content shopping experience begins". We hope you understand and appreciate SubscriptionConnection.com today and hope you come back regularly to learn about new additions to the Internet's only online catalogue dedicated to paid content. And most importantly, we ask that you let us know what features you would like to see added to help improve your online paid content experience.
