This is such a "see behind the curtain" post and i love it - and this "The balancing variable of this equation is that it places the responsibility of me to create dope-ass posts that interest people enough that they desire to pay for my older content."
I delayed a long time to set it up on my podcast. As always, I worried what people would think of me. Will free subscriptions slow down? Do I now look like a money-grabbing bastard? None of those things have happened.
It’s still making me feel a little guilty sometimes though. I don’t know why.
You bring up some excellent points. I've seen other artists, especially beginners, fall into the trap of doing their art for free. I'm no exception.
This has given me a lot to think about.
Thanks for this, man. Great approach
