$5 per month is too much on your competing services. If you want to differentiate, you should offer an option that is less.

At $5 per blog, I can’t justify subbing to more than… 2 at the most.

Compare the value proposition to something like Spotify.

I think you have misunderstood. The $5/$7/$10 are suggested prices that you charge your subscribers.

The service is free and only takes a 5% of subscription fees when they are active.

I think that section of the page could be improved to look less confusing.

I made a quick mock up: https://excalidraw.com/#json=5965784438276096,bD8ptwUwiZX9o0...

This.

I imagine there will be months when I don't write anything. Why would somebody still subscribe.

Looks stellar btw.

How is this not all on you?

Maybe you shouldn't be selling subscriptions for your writing if you're not actually writing?

Maybe an option to pay for X posts instead of per month.
