The Subscription Offer So Many People Misunderstand

Many publishers still see long introductory offers as little more
than aggressive discounting. I think that's a mistake. A
$1-for-12-months offer is not primarily about price — it's about
time. Time to build habits, create engagement, and ultimately
convert readers into long-term subscribers. In this episode, I
explain why some of the cheapest subscription offers can become
the most valuable customer acquisition tools.
