Love the empathy and honesty that runs through your own personal narrative about getting started on Substack, weaving that into a series of easy-to-follow steps, while offering modest but believable outcomes.

This is so helpful, thank you so much! I know you covered the psych benefit of the pricing range in another blog this week, but I'm wondering why they always end in 7?

It’s a marketing psychology thing that’s been tested numerous times over the years. To the buyer, a “7” doesn’t look as pricy as a “9” or even a “0”, even though it’s just a couple pennies from the next dollar up 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just a quick PSA to everyone reading this post - if it’s not already obvious then there’s a troll / scammer posting on here as “Wes Pearce Sub stack” (aka @escapethecubicle3) DO NOT ENGAGE!

What about your Substack subscriptions? Have you found making your articles free vs free but behind a “subscribers only” set up?
