Okay, well one thing I always found annoying was the way paysites had the navigation. Generally it was all over the place or no real central place for the members to go to in order to view other features of the site.

When I had my own, I put up a central lounge type place plus used a discreet small logo up in the top left corner. That logo linked to a 'site map' just for the member's area so they could check out all that was available.

Surprisingly I found a fair number after the first blush would use it to check out other features or stories instead of just going to the same section.

Also they used the newsletter option and even now since I've closed the paysite, they still remain subscribed to that feature... gotten me a few extra book sales as a result..

so... good solid stable navigation to all of the members area is important as well as a way for them to opt in to a simple newsletter...

just my thoughts.
