I have long desired to set up both a stable source of income, because being a freelance writer is anything but stable, and to build a deeper connection with my readers, which is genuinely important to me.

So, to kill two birds with one stone, I have introduced a membership program on Buy Me a Coffee where my most loyal readers can support me financially on a monthly basis in exchange for exclusive rewards.

There are three levels, each of whose pricing and benefits you can see below:

In case the screenshots aren’t clear, the benefits of the three tiers are:

  1. [Gold] Support me on a monthly basis
  2. [Gold] Unlock exclusive posts and messages
  3. [Gold] Work in progress updates
  4. [Gold] Behind the scenes
  5. [Gold] Access to the weekly premium newsletter
  6. [Platinum] Free & discounted extras
  7. [Platinum] 1 exclusive, unlisted Medium article per month [2 for Black]
  8. [Black] Get your creative writing (up to 1500 words) critiqued and edited
  9. [Black] A 45-minute 1-on-1 video call per month to coach you on your Medium/book writing goals

Extras are products. So if I create and sell something like a Medium Starter Kit course, or a guide on writing a book from scratch using my own unique method, that will constitute an extra.

I am also thinking of starting a Discord server, where all my subscribers and I can chat. If you know any other forum where that’ll be possible, do let me know.

The pricing details are as follows:

  • Gold: $3/month
  • Platinum: $10/month
  • Black: $25/month
  • Ultimate (one-time purchase to get Black for life): $350

I have priced the tiers so there is something for everyone. I hope the pricing and the benefits are fair.

You can find my Buy Me a Coffee membership page using the link in the block quote above, or here. If you think my writing is worth supporting, but monthly subscriptions are too much, you can also provide a one-time donation on Buy Me a Coffee, which is basically an alternative to Patreon.

Any and all types of support, financial or otherwise, are more appreciated than I could ever communicate. Being a writer is my dream, and you are helping me realize that dream. Thank you so, so much.

I have two reasons for starting this subscription:

  1. The Selfish Reason: Me needs da cash.
  2. The Selfless Reason: I have always wanted to create a community, a safe space, for people from all walks of life to come and just be. And I have always wanted to help people realize their writing goals, which the premium newsletters and the extras will do. Most of you probably know me from the mental illness articles I have written. Then you know who I am, and what I want. This subscription service is, at its core, a system of give-and-take without middlemen. Just us. A more direct, mutually beneficial connection.

I am calling this membership program The Universe of Chandrayan, because I don’t think I’m ENOUGH of a self-aggrandizing tool already (and I suck at thinking of names).

I think that about covers everything. I look forward to hopefully interacting with all of you on a more direct basis soon!

If you enjoy my content, please consider joining my free newsletter, buying me a coffee, or becoming a member for exclusive benefits!
