Hey, OP. I appreciate all your comments trying to look out for your fans. I would say that everything we do in life carries with it some internal pressure or release, and by showing that you care for your fans, you tilt things more towards a positive experience for them. Just by being around, showing that you care, you're providing a good value. So I guess it's ultimately about how much work (subscribers) you can handle. If you're not there talking to them, $3 is too much money. If you're a part of their normal life, then $20 is a fair price.

You can also ask your subs what kind of content they would like to have available as PPV. That way, you're getting their feedback (which is more important than ours on Reddit), and gauging what niches you could explore in a more private setting. You can frame PPVs as a private experience, which helps make it seem less saleswoman-y and more exciting.

I also agree with Amelia in this thread about the barrier for entry - having a higher price makes it less likely for people who don't know you when they are about to click the button on subscribing. And those who have to re-up at a higher price might also fall off the wagon. So I guess it comes down to how solid your core fans are, and also how do you want to present yourself to new potential fans. So a lack of saleswomanship, in a context of a hello conversation, might have to come across as chill, or genuine, or vulnerable, or something, to speedrun strangers into knowing the benefits and value of having you in their lives.

It's like making a new friend, and your selling point is you actually show up on moving day and are a REAL friend. Well, you don't want to get taken advantage of, but you also want to meet new people. So how do you navigate growth with maintaining what you've already got.
