I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend and enjoying the weather! Well, at least if it is pleasant within your area!
Anyways, I’ve contemplated how to approach monetization on this Substack for a while now. It’s been rather difficult in figuring out the proper approach to gaining subscribers, and as the market continues to become saturated it becomes even more difficult to gain paid subscribers and make this Substack financially feasible.
However, as money has tightened for many it seemed like the best fit would be to reduce the annual fee. Substack only allows for a minimal annual fee of $30 so that was adjusted. The monthly fee has been kept at $5 since that can’t be made lower.
The Founding Member price has also been lowered to $75 as well.
Hopefully this pricing will work out for more readers. As a few people have commented with respect to ko-fi I will also consider adding a PayPal option. I haven’t done so yet since Substack uses Stripe as a payment processor, and so it made sense to use it for ko-fi as well to not have to rely on another processor. But if readers would like a PayPal option I will try to implement that in the near future.
Regardless, I do appreciate all of the support that you all have provided over the past 2 years, whether monetary or through sharing and commenting! Any form of support truly does help, including any form of engagement.
