I'd rather my posts be as widely accessible as possible. (I expect only a tiny portion of interested readers would be interested enough to pay for the extra content, and a few dollars isn't worth blocking everyone else's access to it.)
Substack says that usually between 5 and 10 % of subscribers go paid. Paid Subscribers give you 7 dollars a month. When you get to 3000 subscribers, that would mean, by low estimates, that you'd get about 12,000 dollars a year, which could save multiple children!
I'd be very surprised if 5% of philosophy blog readers would opt for a paid subscription, esp. if it's just for like 1 paywalled post per month. (Did you get that high of a % when enabling paywalls on your blog?)
No, but I only paywalled two articles and those alone got me 7 paid subcribers. If you paywalled like a third of your posts, I'd imagine you'd get a decent number of paid Subscribers (I'd pay!).
Congrats, probably the best substack on moral philosophy!
Second best . . .
Jk, definitely the best.
Have you considered paywalling some posts and then just donating the proceeds to effective charities?
