Hi,

There are basically two models you can use to build the continuity part of your author business.

Continuity Subscription Accounts – How they Work? In the subscription business and payment model, the consumer is charged continuously until they opt or unsubscribe. Any business can use this model to provide or deliver items or services that need to refilled or restocked every month. -Paykings

We often call this “subscriptions”, which is wholly accurate, but the reason I call it continuity is because we wouldn’t say “I have a subscription to AAA”. Instead, we generally call this a membership fee.

As such, a subscription is not broad enough to define the entirety of this category, even though it is basically the same action people take across all available options

In publishing, I see two types of continuity programs working well right now; publication and association.
