Very insightful discussion of your journey as a substacker. I'm just in the process of learning the place myself, so I found your material helpful.

Hi Ben. Open minded at this stage. Might be crickets, might be a few. I'll see how it goes.

I'm curious to see how this works for you. I dropped my price to 80% off, and only managed to pick up 7 new PAID subscribers. I'm grateful for all of them because the story I have for them to read is AH-MAZE-ZING!

Thank you for explaining your journey.

Now I have to think how to set up a pay-what-you-like system here.

Yep. I've seen some Substacks run it as a discounted promo with a 'pick your level' plan and others offer a Patreon tip jar. I'm still researching the best way forward on the tech side.

I'd also be interested to hear what you learn. This is a brilliant idea and you've got the wheels in my own head turning!

I 100% feel this:

"However, I didn’t want this space to become another job or chore. I’m jaded enough."

Just in so many ways!
