Would you be interested in an Islamic site like this?

Hi, I've been thinking for a while and I've decided that what I'd really love to do would be to set up an Islamic website. Then last night I started writing down ideas for it, and I'd love to hear your opinions/ suggestions.

Basically, the site will be free to sign up to, and have some free content, but also have other content available for purchase.

I'd like it to be linked to my youtube account : http://www.youtube.com/user/MuslimahMelika?feature... and so the videos would be free to watch on there. However, I thought it'd be nice if in a few months when inchaallah I'll have made more, that perhaps people could buy DVDs of ym video so they could watch them at anytime.

Also, I'd like to have a section for a series of Islamic childrens books that I'm writing. People could read the synopsis of the book, and decide which one they liked the sound of, then pay a small price (50p/ £1) to read the book online. They'd have pictures and everything, and it would be like reading a normal book, just you'd be looking at the screen. I would love to sell hard copies of the books, but it'd be expensive, and I'm just a student so can't really afford that. But perhaps if they were a success I'd be able to afford to start producing them.

They'd be a premium content section for mp3 downloads of lectures/ quranic reading. You'd pay a one-off price (£3/ £5) to gain access to the area, and then have unlimited downloads forever. The lectures would all be original ones that are only available on the site.

There'd also be a section for Islamic poetry, where I will post any of my own poems, and users can also submit their own (all of which are approved by me, first).

And finally there'd be a comment box section where users could post suggestions, or say what they think of the site. (Again, all comments approved by me, first).

Please tell me what you think, what you like/ don't like, and whether you'd be interested in using a site like this. Even if you have no detail to add, a simple yes or no would really help.

JazakAllahu Khair.

Update:

@Bethany I'd think so, I'm not sure of all the details yet, but luckily my dad's very skilled with computers, so hopefully he'd be able to set it all up. We'd probably operate through PayPal, so I think it would be possible to just convert the pounds in to dollars for you :)

Just to let you know, this is still in the conception stage, so it would be a few months before all sections are up and running, as I'd need to get enough lectures to make it worth your money. If you subscribe to my youtube account I will be posting on there when everything is ready :)

Update 2:

Having spoken with my dad, I may be considering making the mp3 section free but with adverts and a 'donation box' instead. Does this idea appeal to people more?

Also I forgot to mention, 10% of all profit will be going to Islamic Relief :)

    I think its a great idea, by the way are you a convert/revert? Because if so, I feel this is even more relevant in western society, and something that we really need to promote.

    It sounds like a great idea. Quick question: Would people in America be able to buy the mp3 downloads if we have enough dollars to cover the pound cost?
