#3 How much do you pay
… for your solo creator business?
That’s an important question. I’ve been doing this for 3 years (regularly) and on and off since way back in 2009. But until very recently, I didn’t pay a cent for any platform or service that I need. (I exclude Medium here, because I wouldn’t need to pay for the membership. I do though)
Now, I pay for Zlappo* ($250 for a lifetime deal), for Carrd* ($19 per year), and I’m in the process of deciding which email marketing platform I want to pay. ConvertKit or EmailOctopus*.
