There’s really no difference between free and $9. People think charging a little gets them more committed members. It doesn’t. $5 is a cup of coffee. It doesn’t mean we’re married. Your premium offer decides who sticks around. Already have a YouTube or Instagram audience? Paid tiers can work. Building from scratch? I’d go freemium. Put 2–5% of premium in free, build the trust, and let them join premium when they’re ready. Free or paid tiers — which did you start with? 👇
