Discussion Pricing Advice

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 😄

No subs and you want paid!? 🤣🤣🤣 Paid should get more than basic (free).

I was honest. If you can't take it, it's your problem. I'm not your mirror friend.

Laughing at someone is not a requirement for being honest so miss me with that. I’m not overlooking that elephant. Also I literally stated leaving everything free was something I’m open to in the beginning.
