The value of subscriptions is going to be the database that people (individual) have. What is in it? Is it worth any money?
Many will overlook this point. That is my dilemma: do I start with nothing or wait until I have a bunch to instantly add and bull rush it?
I'd say start with nothing then grow. That's beating time.
I think that both ways will require a lot of work and effort.
Your brand is your value
You're not starting with nothing. You're starting with 7+ years of consistent authorship on this chain
Anyone who has been a follower of yours knows whether or not you will make the $5 per month worthwhile
Personally, I don’t know anyone who would pay for reading my blog lol, but if someone gets paid for it, I’ll be sincerely happy for them :) !MEME
