[1-Month Cancellation OK] For those who only want to read memberships! Introducing creators with a 'God-tier' plan 🌈 [Support Article]

Good news for those of you who want a short-term, read-only membership!


We are pleased to announce that a

“Read-only plan”

has been newly launched by a creator we’d like to introduce.

It’s Hiroki Murata!

To those of you who think: 'I’m curious about the membership-exclusive articles, so I’ll pay for one month, but once I’ve read everything, I want to move on to another membership. I hope the creator won’t be sad. It might be selfish, but I hope they’ll be happy that I joined and paid the monthly fee, even if just for a month. If it’s not too much trouble, I’d love to be able to come and go as I please.'

To those of you who think: 'I want to browse clothes carefully at a shop, but I don’t want the staff to talk to me because I’d want to run away if they did. But I don’t want to be completely ignored either. I want to be left alone, but I also want them to create an atmosphere where it’s easy to ask for help if needed—I know, it’s selfish.' That’s how you feel about note memberships, too.

And to those of you who think: 'If the first month is free, I feel bad quitting after just one month, but joining for a second month just to pay feels like a hassle. I don’t want to give the creator false hope that I’ll stay, and I don’t want to deal with the mental gymnastics of it all.'

Please listen to what Hiroki Murata has to say.
About the “Read-only plan”.

“No interaction required”

No need to post self-introductions, greetings, or follow other members on the bulletin board!

“Free to cancel and rejoin”

The freedom of membership is the best!

“For those who want to be left alone without having to introduce or follow articles”

A peace-of-mind guarantee for those who want to read quietly without standing out.

Furthermore,

“Feel free to cancel after the first month”

This is truly the god-tier of read-only plans!

Two days ago, I posted an article titled 'Thoughts from a Short-Term Read-Only Membership Member,' thinking I might be disliked by membership operators, followers, and readers, but deciding to write my honest feelings anyway. Here it is ↓

The person who commented on that honest article of mine the fastest was Hiroki Murata, who runs a membership.

Almost a day after this comment, Murata-san newly established a 'Read-Only Plan'

I was surprised when I saw the email notification about its launch!

Regarding my personal and selfish article,

'You read it and gave it a like'
'You commented quickly saying it was educational'
and
'You took the idea and implemented it immediately!'

Murata-san!

You are just too wonderful!

An introductory article for Murata-san's 'Read-Only Plan,' which seems to save 'short-term read-only membership' members from their feelings of guilt, anxiety, and more.
👌

With Murata-san, even if you cancel the 'Read-Only Plan' after just one month, he surely wouldn't think of you in the ways listed below.

〈Various things one feels the operator might think〉

・An offender who just takes the information and leaves quickly
・Angry that a 1-month cancellation isn't worth the writing time
・A disappointing person who raises expectations of continuation and then betrays them
・A rude person who doesn't greet upon joining or leaving
・Worried that they left because they were dissatisfied
(↑ The operator is not at fault; the user just wants to try others)
・Leaving in the short term is a sin
(↑ Paying even for a short term because I want to read the operator's articles)

As someone who just wants to read, this is such a relief!
You can join and leave Murata-san's 'Read-Only Plan' as many times as you like without any worries.

If you are interested in Murata-san's posts or how they run their membership, why not start by casually joining their 'Read-Only Plan'?

And if you ever feel like, 'I might want to interact with Murata-san and other members,' you can always join the 'Plan to Enjoy Note Together' at a later date 👍

I'm sure Murata-san will warmly welcome you back, even if you've been hopping around other memberships in the meantime ☺️

'Plan to Enjoy Note Together' allows Murata-san to praise the good parts of your articles! It really boosts your self-esteem. This is the perfect plan for those who want support or a community.

<Introducing a 'comrade' (sorry for assuming) who also does short-term read-only memberships>

Sanagi Mitsukioka-san, thank you for introducing my article.

Mitsukioka-san says she plans her membership subscriptions month by month in advance. I'm so happy to know there's someone who feels the same way.

<To membership operators>

I think there are others (potentially many?) like Mitsukioka-san and me who want to hop between various memberships month by month, or who just want to read without being bothered.

Therefore, if you are an operator who welcomes even short-term members, please consider a read-only plan ☺️ I think it makes it easier for those who are anxious about various things to try out a membership without hesitation.
Even if you don't set up a read-only plan, I hope you won't feel discouraged by short-term cancellations (I know this is a selfish request).

Alternatively, if you'd prefer people to join your membership even for just one month rather than not at all, but you find the cancellation notifications disheartening... for the sake of your own peace of mind, how about creating a separate



“Plan for those with no intention to continue”
(no hard feelings, no grudges)


as a separate category?
(Is that asking too much?)

A fan might be born from a read-only user.
Even if it's just for one month, revenue is generated.
note also receives a commission.
Lowering the barrier to joining a membership is a good thing for everyone, isn't it?
(Of course, I know there are pros and cons.)

That concludes this hybrid article, which is both a show of support for Hiroki Murata, who newly created a “Read-Only Plan” in his existing membership, and an expression of my honest desire for short-term read-only memberships to be accepted.

Oh, it is recommended to join memberships at the beginning of the month, because if you join at the end of the month, you will still be charged for the full month 😇

Thank you for reading.

Hiroki Murata-san, I introduced you without permission, but please do not hesitate to let me know if there are any issues.
