This Substack is evolving - please help me decide how
I have ideas for some new extras - but can you help me choose?
I have something I’d like to run by you, dear readers. One of the reasons I started this Substack was to help support the work of World Council for Health. Everyone who subscribes can choose to make a financial contribution, 100% of which goes directly into the WCH pot.
Thus far, both paying and non-paying subscribers have the same access and benefits as each other. In future, I would like to offer something of value for those who choose to pay. In part, out of appreciation for their support, and also in the hope that others may choose to make a financial contribution as well (around 3% of subscribers currently pay).
More contributions would help to both cover the hours spent producing the Substack and Tess Talks, and also fuel the exciting initiatives World Council for Health has planned for this year.
So, my question to you is, what would you want to see as an added extra for paid subscribers? If you’re a paying subscriber, please let me know which of the options below you’d most appreciate. And if you’re a free subscriber, please let me know which of the options you think would be worth becoming a paid subscriber for:
If you have any other feedback on this idea, or any suggestions, please add them in the comments. I hope this post is received in the spirit in which it is intended. I don’t want to take anything away, just to add a little something extra.
When I started this Substack, I had no idea what a wonderful community this would become. I appreciate your comments and support so much, and have learnt much from your insights and recommendations. Thank you for your good company and please know that to me, this community is golden and your presence and participation the true currency.
Warm wishes,
Tess
I became a Founding supporter to you and many others to contribute to your substack because I want to be supportive to you and a handful of others. Doing so is it’s own satisfaction.
I do not feel the need for any extra. The model you’ve adopted of being fully open with a subscription option is one I wish others would use as well
I have now arrived at a place where my budget requires I reduce my total expense but I truly believe that you and others saved MY life and my wife (and no doubt many others). What is that worth? Impossible to measure.
You need change little in my view.
I contribute to your substack because I want to be supportive of your effort, and I do the same for a handful of others. Contributing is its own satisfaction and I don’t feel the need for an extra. The model you’ve adopted of being fully open with a subscription option is one I wish others would use as well.
