Destined for failure.
I think so too....
Wrong
I don’t think so.
It is rather low-cost to start a pay website. The issue will be providing the programming.
She has a no-cost way to subscribe.
I haven’t yet, but I’m just saying. Palin has a huge fan base.
Huge.
I really like Sarah Palin but...
$4.95 a month, maybe. $9.99 a month, nope.
I’d rather give it to FR. And I’m going to do it right now.
Where’s the donate button? Ah, here it is.

Please! Every time some yahoo from the media or even here on FR predicts that Sarah is going to fail, she usually succeeds or just simply keeps moving forward. Heck, there are going to be rabid liberals and GOP elite hacks signing up just so they can write nasty things about or to her. She doesn’t care and will continue to speak the truth. You can cancel at any time and there is already a lot of content available and more to come
According to this [snarky] article, virtually everything on it so far is available elsewhere on the web for free:

From this article:
So politics aside, it’s fair to ask what the value proposition is for a subscription to Sarah Palin Channel. At this early point–the channel launched Sunday and began collecting paid subscriptions at startup–much of SPC’s front-page offerings are repurposed and available in some form free elsewhere.
There’s the seven-minute video calling for President Obama’s impeachment from earlier in the month; various speeches, like her July 19 talk to the Western Conservative Summit, that are on YouTube; reproductions of conservative meme images; a link to her daughter Bristol’s blog at the religious site Patheos.com. There’s a national debt counter and a countdown clock to the end of the Obama administration. Getting a place of prominence is “Sally’s Word of the Day,” a feature “brought to you by my Scrabble-obsessed Mom and her friends.” (The inaugural word: “Rectitude”–”the quality of being honest and morally correct”–which reproduces the Merriam-Webster definition verbatim.)
But wait! There’s more! The marquee original content thus far is a collection of short videos in which–as she’s been doing via Facebook–Palin weighs in on current events hitting longtime talking points. The trouble in Ukraine, for instance, is evidence that we need to “unlock” our natural energy resources, or Drill, Baby, Drill. Another publicizes her book from last year re-fighting the “war on Christmas.” In others, she answers questions from supporters, such as, “How many things can you name that Obama has failed at?”
Many of SPC’s short videos recall Palin’s hits for Fox News, placing her in a home-office setting backed symbolically by a carven eagle, a flag and a globe, speaking in a single take, YouTube-style; others have her speaking at an angle to the camera, as if addressing an unseen interviewer. The tone is on-brand: the folksy, familiar speech (after last year’s Phil Robertson controversy, she tells fans, “You guys rose up and said, ‘Oh my gosh, enough is enough!’”), her knack for digs that will rouse fans and aggravate detractors (Obama is “addicted to OPM”–say it out loud–”other people’s money”), the Alaskan-mountain imagery on the homepage.
Beyond that, what SPC is trying to sell is community and connection. The site’s videos are shareable on social media–so depending on your friends-and-family list, you’ll be seeing them free on Facebook soon enough–but you can only see or post comments if you subscribe.
