You might also take a look at kachingle.com, a site that allows users to make voluntary payments for accessing online content, and at this post on The New York Times Freakonomics blog in which William Baker, Alan Mutter, Clay Shirky, and Marshall W.

It's $.99 per reader/ buyer. (It could be $2.99 or $5.99 -- the reporter sets her own price for her readers/ viewers) Each reader of the story/ viewer of the video would pay the reporter $.99 directly. So if you have 1,000 people in your rolodex and who know your work in your community and want to buy your work, you could make $800 on a single story. If you've got a following of 10,000 people, it's $8,000 for that single story. If you worked hard and built such a following you could do 12 stories a year and make $96,000. gina@watchdogcity.com Hi Skeptical — Just so there’s no misunderstanding. It’s $.99 per reader/ buyer.

Roughly 60 stories to make $60K. Far less than some journalists have to produce at a newspaper, and a decent option for the 10,000 journalists put out of work during the recession. It's the same concept as i tunes. The story says 99 cents per READER … so if 1,000 people read your story you get about $990. Roughly 60 stories to make $60K.
