I've been running a free design newsletter for two years. Last month I added a paid tier (£8/month) with two extra posts: a deep dive and a template. I announced it three times—in the newsletter, on Twitter, and in a dedicated email. Result: 47 free readers upgraded, but I lost 112 free subscribers who cited 'too much selling.' Net loss in audience, but revenue is now £376/month. Was it worth it?
Paid tier launch for my design newsletter—did it move the needle?
