EP 199: Is the Subscription Model Dying for Adult Creators & What I Am Building Instead
About this episode
In episode 199 of 'On the Whorizon' SWCEO founder and host MelRoseMichaels gives the opinion she deliberately kept out of Monday's Patreon breakdown. She runs a subscription business. She also canceled almost every subscription she personally pays for this year and does not miss most of them.Subscription fatigue is a consumer problem, not an adult industry one, and it is showing up in slower renewals, free trials that stopped converting and fans turning off rebill. MelRose covers why she reads her own spending as data, the pay site she launched in 2013 that never cleared $2,000 in its best month, and why being right too early is its own kind of expensive.Her position on the Patreon update is that she is not adding another subscription platform to a model that already takes more work for the same result. If Patreon fills a real gap in your business, that math may look different for you. 🎁 Spoil Me is our platform sponsor.
