NEXT MOVE · WITHIN THE HOUR

1. Lock one thing people already ask you for

45 min

Pick a single file, guide or template that people have asked you to send more than twice. Upload it, set the price at $0.05 and publish the unlock link. Post it where those people already are.

2. Tell 10 people it exists

30 min

Send the link directly to ten people who asked before. A personal message converts far better than a public post.

FIRST MESSAGE · WHATSAPP OR DM · TO 10 PEOPLE WHO ASKED YOU THIS QUESTION BEFORE

Hey Kemi, you asked me last month how I structure my weekly study plan. I wrote it up properly. It is behind a 5 cent USDC unlock on my own paywall: [link]. Tell me if it was worth it.

3. Find 3 creators who would pay for their own paywall

60 min

List 15 small creators in your niche who give away good work for free. Message them offering a branded paywall at $9 a month, set up for them.

FIRST MESSAGE · X DM OR EMAIL · TO 15 SMALL CREATORS IN YOUR NICHE

Hi Tunde, your weekly market notes are better than most paid ones. I run a USDC paywall on Arc where readers unlock a post for a few cents with no signup. I can set yours up this week for $9 a month, branded as yours. Want to try one post free first?

4. Publish your unlock numbers

20 min

Share a simple weekly post with your unlock count and total earned, straight from the contract. Real numbers attract creators.

5. Raise price on the second piece

30 min

For your next locked item, test $0.25. Compare unlocks per view against the first. Keep whichever earns more in total.
