Has anyone used the timed paywall option?

I think a paywall option is always going to affect readership. Some of those people will some back later when it's free and some might now if they forget. I think a nice storm f advertising when it's paid and when it's free to read will help. I did that with my first few eps and while I do have one super fan, I did only get his reads and one other person. After that, they got way more reads. I delayed them for one week, btw.

I think as long as you advertise both as equally well, you'll see a good rebound and may, over time, see an increase in paid readership.
