Thanks for this Annie. I am considering adding in a paywall to share more personal essays, extracts from my 'sober diaries' (the diaries I kept during my 20 month journey to sobriety) and more tangible practices and ideas for how to quit drinking for good. What makes me hesitate is whether I can commit to this, especially if I need to put out free writing too.
Do you have any thoughts on how much content people expect if they pay? Could I do 2 paid posts and one free post a month?
This sounds like a great thing to paywall, Ellie. You have two options. You could ask your readers if they would pay, were you to share your diary entries and put them behind a paywall, two a month. Or, you could just add the paywall in and explain what they will get above the paywall, and in the settings there’s the option to share three ‘benefits’ for paid subscribers x
Presumably it's (UK) taxable income? That's what puts me off - with pensions and investments I'm right at the top of my tax allowance and I really don't want the hassle.
