I wrote a few paid articles on dev.to, the startups directly approached me for that. Maybe that works?
ah so just pinging writers directly works too? So how does the intellectual property work? Jonas, do those articles "belong" to that site or to you?
Honestly never checked, I think the content still belongs to me. If I wrote for other customers, they had all rights to it. I think they also modified it and posted it somewhere else.
Good! I think thats the only way if you want to work long-term on a project
26 BOOKS?!?! Impressive :D
why did you pick a fixed price instead of per usage?
Good question. I guess to make it more predictable - do you think it would be better with usage?
We are also tracking payment_method.attached, but I think thats just specific to our usecase
The missing one-time payment option for rize made me not use it. 120/year is rough imo
Damn 23k is a lot. 500 is already so terrifying to me!
WOW thats a lot. I dont think I could do that to developers 😂
Comparing it to a SaaS product update, it's much, much less than what you think. I only update a non-community-based digital product (like a standalone workshop or bundle) mayyyybe once a quarter, so I let people know what I've added and how it'd benefit them since people have lifetime access + all updates.
I email so often for other things because I run an education community, so it's already a more interactive model, and the community often feeds into my high-ticket offers, so I need to keep them engaged so they stay invested/informed. :)
Really, it's just about knowing your audience. Do they want to just use the product and know the basics of what's new? Or do they want to feel like they're a part of something bigger? Different audiences require a different cadence.
wowowowow! Awesome, thank you so much for the long answer :D
I think I see your vision - definitely bigger than what I thought of in the beginning, but also much cooler. Excited to get started now 👀
I'm so delighted it got you excited to build!
PS There's nothing wrong with starting simple because starting is the most important part. Complexity can come later as you consider how you can expand it (with services, products, affiliate links, etc.).
You don't need to figure out all the pieces of the puzzle before you put the edges together.
