Paid Memberships are coming to SeawayFishing

Those of you who have been around for a while will remember that last year  I accepted donations to keep the site running, it was a 50/50 decision between that and forcing a membership fee on everyone.  While the donations were successful in raising the needed funds it always bothered me that the few who graciously donated funds paid for the many users who utilise this site on a daily basis.  So this year I have decided to introduce a Gold Class Membership which will initially cost $50 per year or for those who don't go fishing that often a 7 day membership at $10 that allows you to catch up with the latest information.  A free membership will also exist for those who don't wish to pay.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The differences between the membership levels will be as follows:

Gold Class Membership @ $50.00(introductory price)

Access to Everything on the site for 1 year: up to date detailed reports, recent articles, forum, seaway record eligiblity and more.

7 day Membership @$10.00

Access to Everything on the site for a period of 7 days: up to date detailed reports, recent articles, seaway record eligiblity and more.

Free Membership

Access to Reports older than 1 month, access to archived articles(6 months old +), access to the forum, seaway record eligiblity, access to other unrestricted content(eg. pictorials, condition updates).

I have alot of interesting stuff planned for this year, but much of that depends on how many people decide to pay for gold class membership.  You see by my latest posts the direction that I am taking though there will be a bit more time spent refining livebait techniques this year.

SeawayFishing has always set itself apart from the other fishing websites on the internet by offering something that they do not; Up to date, detailed information about whats going on in a specific area.  I see the introduction of a paid membership as a necessary step in taking the site forward and unleashing its true potential.  At this stage paid memberships will be introduced on the 1st March 2013.  Comments are welcome below.
