Adding a paywall to your community can be stressful, especially when you’ve been functioning as a free service for so long; but there comes a time in every community where it grows to the point of needing additional support, in the form of finances, in order to maintain the function and growth of your community.

What will your members think? How many of them would be willing to buy in? How do you know you’ll have enough people to actually pay for the platform you need to run it?

Welcome to searching for sustainable self employment, with me, your host, Joey Clarkson.

In today’s episode, we tackle all of that and more with our guest Tara Henton! Tara is a Canadian singer/songwriter, music teacher and community leader. In 2021, she not only launched her own music school, venturing into the world of self employment, but also launched an online weekly event for songwriters that would snowball into the thriving community that is now known as “We Write Songs”.
