reckon you can easaly do that the easiest way of doing this is by adding users and giving the paying members a exceptable user-level (4 – 5) and make the pages in that content level 5 or up… That way you won’t have to do a lot of work (not sure that it will work though, but IMO i should work…
You mean you can actually set the minimun level for the individual pages?
I cant find that option =/ kindly enlighten me?

If you’re familiar with PHP, try using $user_level (ex. if (4 >= $userlevel)) in an if else statement.
What you need to do first is get the enviremont variables from the user
so declare:
get_currentuserinfo() ;
some where this will create the following variables:
(You might need to GLOBAL them first !! not sure)
$user_level
$user_ID
$user_nickname
$user_email
$user_url
$user_pass_md5
You can use these, this ONLY work for registered users 🙂

I used $user_level in a little mini-post script I wrote to go on the front page of my website that only shows if an admin ($user_level == 10) is logged in. Didn’t have to global declare it.
I love WordPress 1.5 and the community. It’s really amazing. I will be helping a company develop a site with regisered users and a paid/free content section. It seems like WordPress is great for blogs but am leaning to using Drupal 4.6 especially with its commerce API (PayPal framework, etc.)
Have you looked into Drupal as a CMS for this? 4.6 was just released a few days ago and some WP themes are being ported. Plus and minuses to both but that is how I am looking at it now.
WP for Blog
Drupal for CMS
Would be great to have a merged Drupal + WP
