Common Pitfalls to Avoid

❌ Inconsistent Posting

Problem: VIP members expect regular content Solution: Batch create content, use scheduling tools

❌ Unclear Value Proposition

Problem: Potential VIPs don’t understand benefits Solution: Explicitly show savings calculations

❌ Reverting to Custom Pricing

Problem: “Special deals” undermine tier structure Solution: Strict adherence to published pricing

❌ Neglecting Free Tier

Problem: Free page becomes ghost town Solution: Regular instant-buy posts maintain engagement

❌ Over-Promising VIP Benefits

Problem: Can’t deliver on all promised content Solution: Under-promise, over-deliver

❌ Ignoring Analytics

Problem: Don’t know what’s working Solution: Track everything, adjust based on data

❌ Trying to Scale Too Fast

Problem: Quality drops, can’t maintain promises Solution: Grow sustainably, maintain quality

When to Modify This Plan

Adjust the timeline if:

• Results significantly exceed expectations (accelerate)
• Conversion rates below 0.5% after Month 1 (pause and diagnose)
• Content creation capacity is limited (extend timeline)
• Platform restrictions discovered (adapt strategy)
• Audience size is smaller than assumed (focus on growth first)

1. Review analytics - Data reveals problems
2. Survey subscribers - Ask what they want
