I don’t really have the resources to spend 8-10 hours a day on here unless the blog starts paying a little more. Some say that you need 10k free subscribers to get enough paid subscribers to make this worthwhile but I’ve sort of figured on 30k free subscribers which would give you about 1-1.2k paid subscribers (average seems to be about 4%). I’m not even close sitting on about 600 subscribers in total (I’d be at 700 if not for losing about 70 subscribers during my mayoral run).

So the first thing that I’m doing is locking up previous posts. At the moment anything older than 2 months is locked up but I’ll probably move that to a few weeks fairly soon. I’ll leave some of the older posts unlocked, for example the WEF Young Global Leaders one but otherwise they’ll be locked up.
