I really liked the Pinboard.in pricing scheme: start with very low prices (something like $1 subscription for life) to get passionate users talking about you and progresively make that price higher based in the number of users you get. No free plan to fight link spam. And a premium yearly plan that archives the content of your links.

Yeah, but the archiving plan only comes out to $2/month per user, which according to this article means I should shut down the site!

It's a shame, since I was enjoying the profits.
