#228: Accessing TPan's š§ the TPan Way
š¤ Finding TPan x Product Fit
This is a premium-only piece, but not your average premium piece š
This is the first time Iāve done this in lieu of a regular piece and I want to strike while the inspiration iron is hot.
Letās go through some context, my favorite!
The history of Web3 with TPan Premium
September 2022
TPan writes his 100th piece and launches a premium subscription option.
September-November 2022
TPan plays around with a weekly āBelow the Foldā edition only available for premium subs. The content focuses on the personal side of TPan and what is on his mind related to the Web3 space. Hereās an example if you forgot or were a premium subscriber after the fact.
I even tried a couple editions of this on Paragraph.
The value of these weekly premium newsletters didnāt sit right with me, and I donāt think they were that valuable to you.
September 2022-February 2023
TPan stresses out about how to provide meaningful value to his premium subscribers beyond more newsletter content. He doesnāt want to just āwrite more contentā.
March 2023
TPan hit inspiration after some conversations at ETH Denver! Begins work on a project for premium subs.
April 2023-August 2023
The excitement around the ETH Denver idea fizzles. TPan knows heāll get back to working on itā¦eventually.
The pressure of providing value to premium subscriber fades, but doesnāt leave. TPan knows that something will come, and heāll know when it does.
Premium subscribers slowly churn (understandable!) but everyone thatās left is a sincere supporter of TPan and his work, viewing it more like a Patreon subscription of sorts.
