[epub] Starting or Moving to a PAID Subscription Basis

[epub@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Wise Ones:

I have a few questions regarding paid subscription lists:

Has anyone here either converted an existing list, or started a new one 
to/as a Paid Subscriber basis?
If yes, did you offer anything as an enticement to get subs?
Or, if you changed over, did you give something away to keep them/get 
subs to pay?
Did you lose a lot of subs by going paid?
Did anyone offer one portion of their paid site for free, and then a 
password to access the rest?
Does anyone have any stats on the best pricing before it is too much, or 
not enough?
Does going paid prove to be the best way, in lieu of advertisers?
