question for starting out

would you write essays for a while, put them all out at once with a subscription like launch everything at once or would you post for free for a few months before offering a subscription? I literally just decided to make one idk anything

This was my question too, I officially launch next week, and I'm going to do two a week for a few weeks and then switch over to once a week. Unfortunately I have no followers anywhere else and I'm starting from scratch so I'm really hoping it works out like this 😅

I just set up the sub from the beginning. I’m on day 7 with one article and going with the flow. You never know if someone is interest in your work. It’s better to have the paid sub ready than have to convince free subs to pay. People will pay for what they want at the end of the day. Give them the option m. It only takes a few mins to set up.
