Andrew, good to see that you are trying some ways to charge for this awesome repository of content you create on daily basis!

As videos on mixergy are not like typical educational courses that people are firm to enroll into and learn (as found on lynda.com, educator.com), nor they are like typical premium entertainment content, the subscription model might not work as-is.

I like the concept of keeping the newer videos free for a week – this ensure you don't harm your current free model (supported with advertisements) and charging for the older ones – you get a chance to earn nor are you loosing much on views for those content.

It would be good for you to add following things –

- Keep the particular video available for free for all those who watch it completely – “Live” or within 24 hours. This will ensure more traffic for your latest videos

- For older videos, have some part of video or clips to be played for free and charge only for watching full videos.

I think cutting the services you offer for free to basic video, and having a premium subscription service is the way to go. The premium group can have access to things like HD video, high quality audio downloads, transcripts, occasional exclusive content, and perhaps access to weekly uStream Q&A where people can ask you specific questions about previous interviews, or ask your advice. This will allow everyone to access your interviews, but provide some convenience and value-add for the premium users. I am new to your site (2 hrs) but would certainly consider $10 a month for added access, more for access to group Q&A's depending on the size and quality of the group. Throw in a $150 (or something higher, idk) level for 30 minutes a month 1-on-1 time and you've got yourself a decent plan.
