[Paid Note] What is the "difference" from free content?

I received this question the other day!

What is the "difference" between a paid note and a free note?

If you have ever wanted to write a paid note, this might be a question you have felt at least once.

To conclude, there isno "difference between paid and free notes"at all.
In my case, I write the same information whether it is free or paid.

Even so, I have sold over 160 paid notes in just four months.
Even now, 2 to 3 articles are consistently selling every day.

There is a real reason for that.
Today, I will tell you that secret.

A brief self-introduction

I am Kanazawa, a Web writer.
Leveraging my past experience as an instructor and operations support at an entrepreneurship school, I share "Note techniques that convey through likes and empathy."

I have been writing diligently every day for the past four months.
Thanks to that, I have over 1,000 followers, and one in every four articles receives 100 likes.

This is all thanks to you for reading.
Thank you so much.

The decisive difference between paid and free is here!

That said, there is a decisive difference between paid and free notes.

It isthe "passion put into the writing"itself.
Since this is something that has to be felt, I cannot express it well, but that is all I can say.

I do not decide to "write a paid article once every X days."
I write when I am at my computer and an idea comes to me, thinking, "Oh, I'll write this as a paid one today."

I write when I feel like I "want to write."

If you set rules, your energy is taken up by following those rules. However, if you write when you think "I'll write!", the passion is conveyed directly into the text.

I write paid notes with the feeling of playing a game, wondering, "How should I write this so that people will want to read more?"

The reader's "level of seriousness" is also different

Previously, I wrote an article like this.
I tried purchasing 10,000 yen worth of paid articles in one month.

As a result, I felt thateven with the same information, I read "seriously" when it is a paid article. I am sure I am not the only one who feels this way; many others likely do as well.

Even if it is only 100 yen, people will read the text seriously to get the value for what they paid.

Having experienced this myself, I began to think, "By writing paid articles, I might be able to support the 'seriousness' of those who read them."

Perhaps it's because people think, "This person is interesting, so I'll give it a read"?

I feel this way as well.
I often receive comments on my notes.
And happily, I am often told, "Miwa-san, you're interesting."

"Interesting" is the highest compliment for me. (blush)

I have sold over 160 paid notes so far, but I don't just write paid notes. I write quite openly about my private life and past failures.

By writing honestly about myself and practicing self-disclosure in this way, people become interested in me as a person, which I believe serves as a catalyst for them to think, "This person seems interesting, maybe I'll buy it?"

More important than the quality of information is "your uniqueness"

Some people might feel that "paid note = high-quality information." That seems correct, but it's a little different.

Even with the same information, by weaving in your own uniqueness, it becomes one-of-a-kind and a note that is welcomed by readers.
This is called self-disclosure, and it is the foundation of the writing I teach.

Therefore, if you become able to write paid notes, your notes themselves will naturally start to be read.

In the ongoing course I host, I teach not only the know-how necessary to write paid notes but also thoroughly cover writing that generates empathy.

The difference between paid and free is "passion"

There are things I can convey precisely because I have experience attracting customers multiple times as an entrepreneur in the past and am currently active as a web writer.

Since I once thought "writing a paid note is scary" and learned to manage that fear thanks to the support of my peers, I have also set up ways to value horizontal connections.

Writing paid notes is more fun when done with everyone rather than alone.

I will make announcements on this note account, so if you are interested, please click the link below, follow me from the top page, and stay tuned.

I feel that both paid and free notes spread precisely because they are fun.
I would be happy if this feeling reaches you.

Today was fun too!
Thank you very much.
