What convinces you to pay a subscription for content from creators (e.g. from bloggers)?

I've been active on Substack for almost a year, and I'm thinking about charging for some of the content (currently, I only have archived articles behind the payment gateway).

The reality is that with AI, anyone can find information, so I'm wondering what the decisive benefit would be that would convince people to pay for a subscription (private chats with the community, monthly webinars, specialised premium articles based on personal experiences, e.g. case studies???).

How do you handle pricing strategies and discounts?

When I was studying economics, we always said that we base the price on these basic things:

cost level

competition

prominence of the industry/product

How to write a Product Hunt comment during the launch day?

First things first:

Don't write the comment during the launch day, but before (prepare everything in advance)

What tech stack do you use for your work? (Hardware + Software)

Most people in this community are makers (I guess developers and marketers).

We spend most of our time in front of the computer, on video calls and the like. Understandably, we want to make it easier and more enjoyable.

What tech stack do you have that makes your work easier?

Which platform(s) do you primarily use to share updates, announcements, and news?

Where do you regularly post product updates, company news, announcements, etc. Or do you typically publish those through your blog or website or even chat like Slack? I'm using a mix of a few and am curious which one will be the most active. What has your experience been like? Which platforms have you tried/want to try?

What questions do you have about A.I. that you're too embarrassed to ask?

Hi all. Sarah here, Head of Content @ Product Hunt. I'm starting up a new article series in our AI newsletter, Deeper Learning, called Ask Kitty. It's a place where you can ask the questions you've been wondering about A.I. but have been too shy to ask. Why? One thing I've learned about A.I. is that a lot of people in tech assume you know a lot of things, and very few people actually know the things (or know them in-depth enough to explain them simply). Sometimes this dynamic prevents us from asking questions. And asking questions is one of the best ways to reduce our knowledge gap. And yes, you could ask ChatGPT, but based on my experience you're unlikely to get the full context you need. Not only will I work to answer your questions, I'll work to find the right people to help me answer them! So ask away!
