Nathan: Is there anything else that you've learned on running the paid subscription that people would want to know if they're either thinking about moving to paid or they have the free and a paid and they're thinking about, "Okay, how do I drive more value or increase revenue?"
N Baschez: The key thing is if you're not already paid, is that because it's a part-time thing for you and there's something else you're doing for your primary income? And if so, how much focus are you really going to be able to dedicate to the paid thing? Because it is really hard. Some people do have them as side projects, but I personally feel like there's this kind of bifurcation that happens, and that most people in this sort of buzz about paid newsletters right now aren't focused enough on, which is these things tend to either work and then work really well, or people try them for a little while, and then it's not right for them at that moment or whatever. Most people who it's not right for, are the ones who had a newsletter that was free, and they have some sort of other job that takes up pretty much their full time, and then they want to tack on a little bit to what they're already doing, and then they struggle with it.
