If the videos are download, it won't cause a large spike increase with your hosting bandwidth. We used PhantomCart.com. Zen-Cart will also allow downloads as well.
Are you sure about $5.00? It sounds to me like your going to cheapen your product. I would do at least $10. The reason why is let's say you have a paysite, DVD's, even work with others. Why should they pay those prices when they can download each scene, video, dvd, whatever you have for $5.00. Yes, you may do well in bank. The problem is your surfers or consumers are going to expect that.
I would take a peek at what your competitors are charging and stay within the same area.
One example is that we sell DVD's online. Other sources may be selling them for $49.95. Sorry, those days are over. We sell them between $39.95 and $42.95. By doing this, we're earning a profit from the wholesalers that we buy from as well as we're not cheapining the producers product, and we're creating a following.
I hope that makes sense.
I'm very sorry, but $5.00 is really cheap. Perhaps for streaming a scene for X amount of time, that may work for you rather than downloading.
Also, one thing to remember. Piraters go where they can get CHEAP. I'd say a good 25% of your customers will be loyal. The piraters are going to say, "Wow! $5.00! Screw paying $20+ for a DVD when I can get this guys video for $5.00 and turn a nice profit through Filesmonster. That sort of thing.
Take some time, think about it. It's like the old saying, "If someone told you to jump off of a bridge would you do it?" Same applies here. You see someone else doing it, the idea sounds great, why not do it. Think about all of the angles.
I do wish you much luck on it. And welcome to GWW.
