Pricing Poll Says $2.50 is Optimal - But Minimum Monthly Subscription Allowed by Substack is $5
For just sixteen cents a day, you can support Popular Rationalism and make a huge difference with others.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the poll!
My analysis tells me that most people find $3-$7 dollars per month suitable, with most inclusive and useful pricing at about $2.50.
However, Substack, this excellent free-speech platform, has my default minimum price for paid subscriptions at $5.
So, if you’re in the crowd of people who would like to help support Popular Rationalism, we’ve reset the price to $5 for the rest of 2023 as a trial period. Won’t you join your fellow Popular Rationalists and help drive us forward?
So make all of your intelligent science publications and classes Free to ALL, then provide several pay options, like I do on my Substack, to allow for tips & donations of any amount, which eliminates subscriber’s worries of having to manage subscriptions. I charge for subscriptions too, but once I confirm the free subscriber is a real person—I gift them “free paid subscriptions,” at least for this first year I get started. But still, most of my content will remain completely free to all, then allowing just paid subscribers to post comments.
