I was tired of publishing tons of content for free, so I stopped.
If you want to grow an audience and make money online, you’re expected to do tons of stuff for free, for a long time. And then, maybe, you’ll get 1% of those people to buy something.
That’s dumb.
I love writing, but that game made me hate it. So, I decided to play a different one.
What if I put 100% of my content behind a paywall?
The idea made me want to write again. And then, when I tested it, people paid me.
I knew I was onto something.
So now, this is what Content Class is — a 100% paywalled resource tracking real-time experiments related to this idea (such as Bending Pink Steel).
If you want to learn how this all works, pick my brain about your own projects, and start playing a different game, subscribe.
✌️ See you inside,
