Launched my paid newsletter community on Jetonomy

Noah Bennett Noah Bennett hace 3 semanas

After two weeks of setup, my paid community is live. Access rules gate it behind the membership level, and the feed space is where I post between newsletters.

Early members love that it doesn't feel like another social network. Happy to share the config.

One caveat for larger communities: keep an eye on the indexes. At a few thousand rows the difference is night and day.

Could you say more about how you measured the result? I want to try this but I am not sure what success would look like.

Solid breakdown. The only thing I would add is to back up before making the change — better safe than sorry.

Adding a small note: the same idea applies on mobile, just with a bit more attention to tap targets.

I respectfully disagree on one detail. In my setup the opposite held true, though I suspect it comes down to community size.

Thanks for writing this up. Bookmarking it — the kind of thing I will want to reference again in a month.

Appreciate the clear steps. The dry-run tip in particular saved me from a mistake I would not have caught otherwise.

For what it is worth, the same approach works with the PMPro adapter — the membership side is identical from here.

Strong agree. Good defaults beat a wall of toggles every single time.

Following this thread closely. We are about to face the exact same decision and the replies here are gold.

This is the answer I wish I had found six months ago. Would have saved me a weekend of trial and error.

Tried this on a staging copy first and it behaved exactly as described. Confident enough to roll it to production now.

We ran into the same situation last quarter. What worked for us was starting small and only adding complexity when a real need showed up.

Great point. I had not considered the angle you raised in the second paragraph — it reframes the whole thing for me.
