Why I keep my Membership prices so low!

Being on YouTube, I was able to create Channel Memberships. In doing so, I chose the price levels for the Membership options. I currently have two levels to choose from. But why did I price the options so low? Please keep reading!

When I created my Channel in the Fall of 2022, I did not know what to expect. I was brand new to YouTube and knew very little about making content. Although I did not know how to make videos, I sure did know about Frugal Living! If you watch my earliest videos, you’ll see how my content has gradually evolved and gotten better over time.

In creating Membership options, I considered what my audience was facing. There are many viewers who manage lower monthly incomes that watch my Channel. Many of whom receive disability and/or are struggling to pay for their basic needs. I also have viewers that are not facing the same type of struggle. But, I had to make a decision. I chose what would work best for those with the least financial resources.

The Membership is an option, not a requirement. For those that wanted to participate in becoming a Channel Member, I chose to make it as affordable as I could. I selected the lowest prices YouTube would allow. The Membership cost is 99 cents to $1.99 per month.

In doing research, I noticed other channels had higher cost memberships and although I could have chosen higher pricing, I wanted to stay true to my Frugal Living roots. I have not increased the cost of Membership and I want to keep it that way.

If you want to help me stay on YouTube, please consider watching my videos, hitting the Like button and even Share the videos if you see fit. Every time you watch my Channel, you are helping me earn an income so I can keep making videos. And if desired, you can become a Channel Member!

    l am new this week, on a disability check only, l will subscribe when l get paid on the 3rd, anyway, l haven’t seen anywhere where you say where you are from.

    • Thank you for reading my article! I haven’t shared my location but I do live in the Southern East Coast. I appreciate your support in Subscribing to my Channel. And if you choose, to become a Channel Member. I have a lot of viewers who share your situation and are on disability. One of the reasons I do not do Paid Sponsorships is because I want to keep the focus on making the best content I can without “selling” to the viewers that are managing lower-income households. A lot of channels take those sponsorships and I’ve said no but it’s tempting! Every time you watch my Channel you are supporting my work. Thank you so much!
