Hey Talkers,
When I launched TANYA TALKS on Substack, I was excited to create meaningful conversations and share thought-provoking content. In my eagerness to build something sustainable, I put up a paywall early on, thinking it was the right move. But after stepping back and reflecting, I realized something important: right now, growing a community matters more than monetizing one.
At this stage, what I want most is for people to read, engage, and be part of the dialogue. So, I’m making a shift—I’m removing the paywall to focus on building an audience first. That doesn’t mean I won’t offer exclusive content in the future, but when I do, it’ll be at a point where it makes sense—when there’s more content, more engagement, and a real demand for it.
If you’ve been on the fence about subscribing because of the paywall, now’s the perfect time to dive in. Let’s build something meaningful together. I’d love to hear your thoughts, and I’m excited for what’s ahead.
Welcome (or welcome back!) to TANYA TALKS—let’s talk about it.
