Your idea

I would like to propose the introduction of an annual subscription plan that offers full access to all MuseHub content for a price range of $25 to $30. This pricing model would provide an affordable and attractive option for a wide audience, encouraging more users to subscribe and explore the platform’s full potential. An annual subscription not only offers significant savings compared to monthly plans, but also ensures continuous access to the vast and diverse resources MuseHub offers. By making this content available at an accessible price point, it could enhance user engagement and satisfaction, fostering a more loyal and long-term user base. Furthermore, this pricing strategy would open up opportunities for growth and broader market reach, enabling students, hobbyists, and professionals alike to benefit from the rich collection of resources MuseHub provides without financial strain. In summary, an annual subscription priced between $25 and $30 could strike the perfect balance between affordability and value, while ensuring that MuseHub remains a competitive and essential resource for its community.

Problem to be solved

The challenge at hand is to develop a more cost-effective solution for monetizing our entire content library. One straightforward approach to addressing this issue is to collect smaller payments from a larger audience. By targeting a broader user base, we can lower the individual cost while increasing overall revenue. To enhance this strategy, we can leverage Solidity smart contracts to create an automated, transparent, and secure payment system. This would allow us to streamline transactions, ensuring that micro-payments are collected efficiently and fairly distributed to contributors. Additionally, smart contracts can be designed to evolve and integrate seamlessly with platforms like MuseScore, enabling continuous improvements and features, while offering users a more dynamic and enriched experience. By doing this, we not only make content more accessible but also foster a sustainable ecosystem where creators and developers are incentivized to contribute, improving the platform over time. In the long term, this could lead to greater user engagement and retention, as well as solidify our position in the market by offering high-quality content at an affordable price.

Prior art

The previous work in this field is represented by models employed by companies like Epic Games. These models, which have been used in various applications, serve as a foundation for our current endeavor. They provide valuable insights into the potential capabilities and limitations of such models, informing our approach and helping us to build upon their successes.

@tmm88, are Muse Sounds paid libraries paid monthly? Isn't it possible to buy something there forever?
