Seun,

I believe everything should be free. otherwise, there are a lot of competing features out there that people will use anyway. If you are considering commercialization, you might have to think os something else, more strategic. I will think up some ideas to share..

I think you should charge N450

how we gon pay that?

I thought seun cancelled this already. Yes he did.

Hi Seun,

I so much appreciate you for your ingenuity in establishig
a Nigerian Forum like this for Nigeria and for Nigerian people.
You are great.

I want to say thank you for bring up this important issue:
the issue of membership fee,I personally[I am sorry if this
offends you] but I have to say it.I dont like the idea of
payment whatsoever in any forum.To me,it is a short-sighted
vision.Let me tell you,the major reason people are flocking NL is
because of the price tag - FREE.

To bring this idea of payment whatsoever,I must tell,you will
definitely scare some people away.This is not to say that I or
so many other people can not afford this,but as you know,we
are all Nigerians.And the most important word to a Nigerian is
FREE.

Nairaland will always grow as long as it is allowed to be free.
Think about it.Ok if you say you want to be collecting membership
fee[whether on Romance Section or where ever],how much will
you gather in the short run,compared to the long term effect of
having a large database of members who are happily joining and
posting freely.Remember the more membership database you
have,the more monetary value your site will be.

Take a look at some of the most populous social media
sites on the net - they are all absolutely free and that is the
secret of their exponential growth rate.With the large data
base they have,they make their money through adverts and
venture capitalists.

If I may advice,I would say you should just be patient for
NL would get to that level.At least NL is Nigeria No 1
internet social medium for now and it would be very bad
if you take this pioneer position away from it.

What I would have want you to do is to build more valuable
applications and resources to make it more useful for the
ever growing users.

To your success.

Hi Seun,

I want to appreciate you for your ingenuity and for
this undeserved opportunity given to us to share,
learn,enjoy and make friends on this platform.Thanks
for putting up a Nigerian forum for Nigeria and Nigerians.
You are great.Ups.

This topic you brought is a very welcome development
as it wouldn't have come at no better time than this.And
thank you for giving the privilege to contribute.

Talking about the issue of membership fee[whether in
the Romance Section or where ever],in my candid opinion,
I feel that it would do NL no good.

See,I want to say this,the major and only reason people
are flocking daily to NL is because of the price tag - FREE.

This is not to say that my humble self and so many other
loyal NLites cannot afford to pay but I tell you it is going
to chase most people away.You agree with me that,as a
Nigeria,the most important word to a Nigeria is the word,free.

And if you clearly look among the most popular social media
on the net,you will observe that most[if not all] of them are
absolutely free,and that is the secret of their exponential
growth rate.

Most of those big media sites don't make their money from member-
ship fee,they prefer to make it free in order to attract a large
database of members and then make their money through adverts
and venture capitalists.

To me,I feel the issue of taking membership fee[whether in the
Romance Section or where ever],is a short-sighted vision.And
wouldn't NL any good in the long run.Note that presently NL is
and remanis Nigeria No 1 online media giant and it will be too
bad if you allow NL to loose this strategic and delicate pioneer
position.Nigeria cyberspace business is just kicking off and it
would make sense if you allow NL to lead this course.

I feel that what you should be thinking about especially as we are
getting into a new year is to plan on how to build more valuable
applications and technological resources to cater for the ever
growing NL members.Make it more visitors-friendly.

With the daily visit of NL,do you know how much NL is worth?
Follow this thread to a little of the iceberg,and imagine what it
would be in few years time.

Want to what people are talking about NL's financial
worth?
