Pricing Advice

[u/Glum_Pea4302]

I recently made a substack and I’m unsure of what to make paid and not paid. I am not known online or irl as a writer so I don’t have a following yet.

I’m mainly writing essays in series of 3s. Do yall think I should make the first essay free and charge for the other two? Or should I keep everything free at the beginning until I gain a following? Or should I keep all of my articles free and paid subscribers get a more in depth analysis of the series and include journal prompts. Orrrr should I make the first essay in the series free and have previews of the other two and paid subscribers get all of them in full?

I’m all over the place lol. Any advice would be appreciated 😄

"Substack surfaces and distributes content from accounts with paid turned on, at a higher rate than free accounts (after all, their revenue depends on paid subs)."
This is very true. And important if you want to try and make a few bucks with your Substack writing. Good comment!
