just looking to see what people's oppinion is: what if facebook all of a sudden charged like a 10 dollar monthly fee, how successful do you think facebook will be... will it make more money then now? facebook currently has millions and millions of users. if say 10% of the users stay and 90% leave because of monthly fee they might still make loads of money. your oppinion?
Ten dollars seems like a bit much. I myself would no longer use it. Facebook is worth billions already. I don't see it getting anymore popular with the feedback they get with their latest updates. (Within the last 6 months.)
I would not use it for that price. Never. Some others would but I could easily see them losing over half their users. But like Facebook said, it will always be free as they get billions every year.
If 90% of users leave, the 10% that stayed will also ultimately leave. Facebook's value is that it connects people. If people aren't there anymore, it's useless. They know that.
yea i didn't think of that hehe. really if 9 out of 10 of my friends would leave, i would leave too since i will have no one to share anything with
I don't know many people who would stay. Facebook would die. But that's not anything to worry about as Facebook will not do something so stupid as charge its members( I would think) This site already rakes in billions of dollars a year and anyone who knows anything about economics or market research would tell you that it would be completely asanine to start charging for something that already makes that much money as the main reason it earns soooo much is because of it's huge FREE members list.
How is this even a question? Facebook would obviously die. Their whole concept of being a major player on the internet is because membership is free - Facebook growth has already slowed tremendously. They are, and will always remain, ad supported.
Please tell me about premium Membership of Facebook...... how it is work and useful for Money Making.
I know. They make billions ever year with that. They'd actually be losing money I think if they made it paid.
Premium what??? never heard of that. The only Facebook "premium members" I know are the businesses who pay for ads. Are you talking about FB credits?
It is really amazing think, but there are lots of people over there in facebbok who not do anything without facebook. So what they will.
I think fb will not, charge some fee to their user. if they did it, I think they will lost all of their user
they already get millions per month in advertising revenue, charging people to use it would just destroy the name and then make way for the next social network as people are just leisurely browsing, they do not want to pay, this is why it will never happen
