Paid vs Free stuff

The crazy balance of creator economy

How to balance your paid and free materials?

Most creators offer two ways to engage with their content. Paid and Free.

The free one is often “free with ads” but for simplicity let’s just use if as “free”.

Many educational creators offer free content to guide their customers to get the paid materials. This is how they make money. Either through Instagram posts, YouTube videos and/or free books and courses.

These are some of my latest posts — offering FREE value for people, and ending with a call to action to learn more about my paid offerings.

But why does it have to work that way?

On-demand economy

Do you want a pizza? Chances are you’re able to have one delivered to your door in less than 30 minutes.

We’re living within an on-demand economy that outpaces itself when it comes to best offers. That means we’re practically used to getting stuff either for free or extremely cheap.

And that’s ok.
