(rewritten ((more elegantly)) from my posts Monday because I didn’t realize the NDA I was under about this ran until Wednesday at 10am)

So as part of the tumblr beta program, I was able to get an early look at a feature that launches today, Post+. It’s basically a subscription feature that allows users to make paid exclusive content. A user sets up a monthly price ($4, $6, or $10) and in return, people that become supporters of that blog get access to exclusive posts which could range from anything to extra art, video content, or in my case written pieces.

In order to subscribe you simply click on a blog with the Post+ feature enabled (indicated by a blue seal shown below) and click support:

Which will bring you to a page that looks like this:

Which will then take you to a billing page. Cancel any time.

I’ve mentioned previously that tumblr has had an on-blog-advertising feature ‘in the works’ for the past few years, but as it’s yet to release, this is the only option creators really have at the moment for making revenue. I know paying for things like this tends to rub people the wrong way but hey. I just got out of rehab. I have medical bills. I just had to quit one of my jobs. This way, instead of making donation posts, I can offer content in return.

My non exclusive content will not change in any way. I will still make you look at my shitposts.

Bonus content from me, specifically, would look like educational articles, probably on the topic of astronomy or whatever random rabbit hole I’ve gone down recently.
