I had an idea about a "web magazine" about song writing. I would interview songwriters about how they work, what they thought while composing a song, why they arranged it that way... a little bit like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ci-yIVsDIdk but in text.<p>I would take snippets of a song and have it decorticated by the artist.<p>To monetize, I would sell 3$ or 5$/month to people to have access to the interviews before everyone else. Maybe put ads but not sure about this...
It sounds like a nice hobby, but I'm not sure it's a sound business.<p>Your content is going to have to be pretty stellar to be able to charge $3-5/month, and you're going to have to have a fairly significant subscription base if you want to cover your expenses and pay yourself (and your writers, etc.) a decent wage.<p>And that's assuming, of course, you a) have easy access to some top-tier songwriters, and b) are a great interviewer. (Many great songwriters are notoriously difficult interviews....)
