I don’t know if I would go as low as 10 cents, but I definitely agree with needing a smaller commitment option. I have seen a few people offer things like “buy me a coffee”. Instead of getting people to move to another platform to get money, they should try and get it all in one place.

I would because this is what the market I am in would pay for my writing. I live and write in a country whose basic salary is 750 euro. 5 euro per month is A LOT.
Unfortunately, I am no established writer and write in an underpaid niche. I am giving out a free subscription to ensure my articles are read, but my reading pool does not have 5 euros to lash on every fantastic newsletter. For instance, I don not read many of you because I would have to spend hundreds a month just to read an article here and there.
I also do free posts, but I am a paid subscriber only to two newsletters, and it is because it really would be too much. If I could pay per article, I would read so much more. Sometimes I feel real pity that I cannot read the article so carefully crafted by someone because it is behind a hefty paywall - more expensive than signing up for The Guardian, and with much less to read...
And also single issue pricing. There are writers whose pieces I’d love to read but not really subscribe and commit to read everything all the time. I have a beauty author I’d like to read but only in issues that are interesting for me and I assume the same applies to my writings!
I agree with this 100 percent. I also live in a place like this that needs geographically relevant pricing, as well as, would like a ‘try on’ option to read from other writers.

Well you're very welcome to read me - my publication full of Fiction is completely FREE! Haha... 😎
My nonfiction is too!
Mine is completely free too!
Well as the old Oasis song once said: "It's good, yes it's good, it's good to be free". Haha... 😎
couldn't resist and loved your notion of free! so I subscribed and read about the marathon! as a marathonista my self, I totally relate!
Thanks Bidi! That is much appreciated. I'm glad you enjoyed it... 😎
Well there are plenty of writers who are making free posts for anyone who’s interested. But I can understand where you’re coming from.

I think maybe what you are asking for is pricing that's geographically relevant? I know it can be done! So cheaper pricing outside the U.S.
