Yes! The base plan is always free. It's a great option for your basic blogging and newsletter needs. We recommend moving to a paid plan if you're a writer looking to earn.

We recommend starting with a free plan. Once your email list is large enough (~500 subscribers) from some consistent writing and sharing on social media, decide whether you want to monetize through paid memberships or sponsorships. You can upgrade to the Side Hustle plan at that point. If you start to grow rapidly, talk to us about our Business plan. We'll help you build out a media business and always make sure it's the most affordable option on the market for its value.

If you don't have an audience yet, but want to earn from writing, we can also match you with businesses for freelance writing opportunities. Just fill out this form.

Glad you asked! Lucky for you, a lot of people are interested in helping independent writers right now. Our goal is to make it as easy for you to start and scale a media business as it is to sell a physical product on Shopify.
