Hacking Photography - one Picture at a time
Earlier this year, Instagram released Subscriptions, an option that looks a lot like Patreon or YouTube’s “Join” feature. Now it’s expanding it even further allowing creators to share posts only with those who are ready to pay up for the content.
Subscriptions used to cover only Stories and live streams, but you can now post photos or Reels only for the chosen ones. You can even send messages only to your subscribers who pay to see your content.
After some hints of paid Instagram content, now it’s officially a thing. This week, Instagram is launching Subscriptions, a feature for creators that lets them charge for their Stories and live streams and play them only for those who pay the subscription.
Can you imagine paying to see Instagram Stories? Well, the option is just around the corner. After some reports from earlier this year, it looks like Instagram is now just a step away from launching its own paid subscription service.
If you use Behance to showcase your work, you can now also use it to make some money from it. Adobe has released a subscription service on Behance that will allow you to monetize your work by selling access to premium content. If you’re familiar with Patreon or the Channel Membership on YouTube, this new Behance feature is something similar.
Would you ever pay to access certain content on Instagram? Well, soon you might. According to recent discoveries Alessandro Paluzzi made, Instagram is testing a “fan club” feature that will only give you access to some Stories if you pay to see them.
Adobe’s been getting a lot of press lately. Some good, but mostly bad. It’s caused a lot of people to become very upset, particularly people on Twitter who don’t understand what the word “subscription” means and think they’re still buying a perpetual license. Regardless, it’s bound to have lost Adobe a few subscribers.
To help draw in some fresh ones, though, Adobe is knocking 40% off the “All Apps” package in at least the USA and the UK. The regular $52.99/mo US package drops to $29.99/mo, and the UK’s £49.94 package comes down to a somewhat more manageable £30.34/mo.
If you still run an older version of Windows or MacOS and use Adobe CC programs, we have some bad news. Adobe has announced that the next major Creative Cloud update will no longer support older versions of operating systems, such as Windows 7, 8 and even some versions of Windows 10.
When Adobe switched to subscription-only plan, it made many users angry. However, there are some advantages to this plan, according to photographer Justin Odisho. He shares some of the greatest benefits of paying a monthly subscription for your Adobe apps. One of them is certainly the cost, but according to Justin – there’s more than just the larger affordability.
Like it or not, Adobe dragged consumers into the era of subscription-based software. And from the looks of it, it’s paying off.[Read More…]
